Anyone have experience of rainwater harvesting?
We have a decent sized roof, and have 2 water butts that take 220 litres of water each (1 each side of the house) in the back garden.
This year I have been taking water from our ponds to water plants, but don't want to continue doing that. Have noticed that the amount of water taken from ponds is growing each year.
So I want to get a bigger water storage solution. I think/hope something that holds either 1000 or 2000 litres is probably going to be sufficient.
Main problem appears to be prices. Most seem over a grand based on a cursory google.
Anyone have experience of purchasing something like this?

Mr Lemon, My neighbour is a bit green, and has a large tank in his garden, into which flows all the rainwater off his roof, both sides.
I think he uses this water for flushing toilets and as its filtered also used for washing machines and watering his garden.
It's a fairly big tank, but he takes this stuff seriously.
Do you want me to get details of it all?

Thanks WH. That probably is above what I'm hoping to do - I'm more looking to harvest & store more for the garden, & the IBCs mentioned above look the best bet.
