   Great video! It is best, however, to keep the pump electrical cord out of the bath water. If the cord develops a small crack in the insulation it could be a shock hazard.

     Water and electric’s don’t mix very well, but whenever I have it outside the bath the pump falls over? Maybe I have too much water in the bath.

   I’ve been lucky to have a really big supply of decomposing leaf litter and from last autumn have been piling the stuff into the soil to add humus to increase water retention. Up in the Northwest of England we seem to have loads of water, for the moment at least, but better to be prepared than not. Cheers.

     We have loads of leaf litter dumped at the allotment by the Council. It’s great stuff. Make the most of the water you have, it’s like gold dust in the south at the moment.

     There are just some words that are meant to sound funny, and “Butt pump” is one of them.
