got down the allotment the weekend to build muck center and found that some bugger had pinched my water but!!!!!! that is unless it blew away! dont fink so!
anyway back to the question.. nettle tea? how long do i leave it? if i pick and soak now in barrel will it be ready for feeding toms in summer?

If there was any water in the butt it'll have been far to heavy to blow away! I've been there myself. It's probably going to be on the site somewhere, so is it identifiable? It's worth scratching your initials on anything like that.

its been partially painted green and it has a 3/4" polypropeline stabin on the side. have had a quick look round site but cant see anything.

People will steal anything that isn't nailed down these days - it's just terrible. Mind you, not much point in nailing down a water butt! Enjoy your nettle tea - it stinks!!!

There have been water butts stolen on a site in my area...it was in the local paper.
My first year Iwent to my plot on a frosty morning ater it had been really windy and my groundcover carpet was draped over my fence...I was very puzzled briefly until I realised that the old bits of farm machinery I'd dug up on my plot and then used as weights had been stolen!
