I live in the Bristol area (ST George) and need 2 x blue drums/tubs.
I will then cut them in half and probably grow carrots.
Does anyone know where I can get them.

do you have a large dry cleaning company near you ,

they will sell them for about £5-00 each

Aahh, I've been wondering where they come from. Ta

[GaryH]

Don't know about the dry cleaner place.

Who do you think would use them in their day 2 day business.

Council ??

There are a number available on ebay but the cost is a lot I feel,

A lot of peeps on our site have these blue barrels as water butts, I shall ask where they came from (I have an allotment in Fishponds)

If I can find any body too ask that is, not many peeps about at the moment......

Loads at Hengrove/Whitchurch too - I'll ask, but same as above, not a lot of folks down there these days!!

Hi.  I'm nowhere near Bristol we get blue barrels from a local company.  I'm not sure what the company does but the barrels always have a small amount of water based adhesive in the bottom.  Magazine/book binding I'd guess.


Next time I'm down the plot I'll ask around and take a picture of the label and post it back on this tread, it might give us some clues.

This is what we do with ours.
