    Remind me never to ask a queston about my water butt.

    Hi from Kingswinford in the West Midlands
  • Having  read all these posts the suspense is killing me! Did the butt tap get sorted  yet? So many great ideas. Who would have thought that you could write poetry about such a problem. Made me laugh, but PLEASE hurry up and sort it, as I'm dying to know what the blockage was!!!

    I usually read James Patterson if I want a thriller, but this is almost as good!

    And we still don't know if the blocked tap has been fixed? Did you try connecting the mains tap to the water butt tap with hose and then turn the main on.. Any blockage would be cleared and will provide better pressure than blowing :-)

  • Oh crikey, I had forgotten all about this thread. Thanks Chrisl for resurrecting it. I wonder if in the two and a half years it has been fixed or are they still discussing whether to syphon or not?

    What a brilliant thread! Gave me a good laugh. You see what happens when gardeners have bad weather...nonsense! image
