stagnant water.
« on: May 07, 2010, 15:47 »




hello everyone, i have 3 various sized water barrels which have been full for a couple of years, they also amazingly have been completely frozen. What i need help with is it still safe to use on my veg and fruit bushes or should I drain them out and then clean them for a new start?

I would have no problem using the water,after all we do put manure on the plot and make a liquid feed from rotting comfry, nettles, sheep manure etc in barrels of water so I can't see any difference!

Could you refrain from text speak, please, goodegg?  I for one don't understand your post and the site policies do ask you not to use it  :)
