A couple of years ago, I wrote several times about my attempts to use a product called Droughtplug, a siphonation system for reusing grey water. At the time, it wasn’t hugely successful because we lived in a ground floor flat; yesterday we got it out again and proved that an upstairs bathroom makes all the difference.

As before, we are keeping the reused water for ornamental plants and aiming to use it quickly (it can start to smell if left sitting too long). Time to water the garden again!
