Title: Bought a butt today
Post by: janiejakemum on May 10, 2009, 19:46

At long last we have bought a water but, i have always been so put off by the price tag but as part of the new greenhouse we are going to build we have got a water but from Wilkinsons for £19.99 - might go and get another one when we have the greenhouse up - wait and see.
i wish i could come across a cheap alternative but so far no luck.

you might want to try black dustbins like most people have at home :)

Depending where in Essex you are, it might be worth going to  this seller (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/5-X-220-ltr-water-butt-barrel-container_W0QQitemZ180346359654QQihZ008QQcategoryZ139915QQtcZphotoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262) and buying a few. If you get them delivered you are back to the £20 a time.

See if the council give away old wheely bins - ours does. Then connect them together with a siphon - magic!
