Rigged-up water butt for rainwater collection

This was rigged up in about 10 minutes yesterday using a fly-swat, a plastic plant-pot tab and a clothes peg. After the night's rain, the butt is already two-thirds full. The water will be used specifically for blueberry bushes, which require acid soil and natural rainwater (tap water is alkaline with calcium).
