Yeah there are no hose pipe bans where I live too, although I am somewhat aware of trying not to use it excessively too.
My garden the grass can die and will come back when it rains so that gets nothing normally. In plant beds its all drought tolerant stuff like rosemary, its doing OK though I am giving them a little water once or twice a month.
Saving the water butts for plant pots and newly planted cuttings. For that they seem to be lasting OK. We are expecting rain this week at least. I suspect things like rosemary would have grown a lot more if I watered them more, but they will survive just fine without too.
Grey water collecting feels like a more sensible option to look into. Most households use over 100L of water a day, only the toilet being water you don’t want to reuse could give you a small water butt per day in water. If I do I hope it can be a DIY project.
