Title: Water butts
Post by: Mrs Gumboot on May 03, 2010, 08:55:20
Morning guys.

Anyone got any ideas of suppliers for cheap versions of water butts or plastic drums? Reckon I'm going to need about 4 in the new house to be sure of keeping all the veggies going and the budget looks like it might be a little stretched by the time we've got rid of all the hideous carpet so don't fancy going and spending a fortune in B&Q or similar. Don't have to look pretty as will be in odd corners of the garden.

Look on freecycle/ freegle for dustbins- or put a wanted ad on freecycle yourself.
