I'm coming around, though I still balk at the expense.
How cheaply do you think I can get some?

Faffaround and cheapskate are my middle names.

I'll probably limit myself to what I can use in three months of normal usage, so that rotation will keep up with degradation. Say 100 to 160L or 5 to 8 jerry cans IT'S A BLOOMIN' MAUL! Maybe I'll sit the can on the wheely bin and syphon it with a hand started pump. Jiggle syphon with esd hose https...

Say 100 to 160L or 5 to 8 jerry cans Well, as a first bit of rotation, Today I glugged 20L from jerry can to car. Jerry can has a special detachable spout. IT'S A BLOOMIN' M...

Just finishing putting my potatoes in the soil is lovely and dry and not donkey work to earth up :mrgreen: Rank gardening amateur that I am, I'm reassured by your post. I popped my spuds in last week and soil was very dry. I was dreading the spuds dying of thirst and did not fancy having to water t...

I was on a training course at work a few weeks ago. I heard the guys on the table next to me saying talking out prepping. One said his wife was convinced that ww3 was going to start and is keeping a big stock of stuff and the other said, since covid, he's just always kept a bit extra in. My father ...

Interesting to hear . if I may can I ask what your reasoning for the storage is ?

I don't s...

I guess, there may be issues down the line where your fuel might be 'requisitioned' in a national emergency. TPTB will go after low hanging fruit long before they think about seizing maybe a couple of hundred litres stored somewhere on the prepstead.... Remember the fuel strikes a few years ago, Yo...

The HSE says that you can store up to 30L of petrol at home , but if you want to store >275L, you need to get a licence from the Petrol Enforcement Agency. There's a fee for that, which I understand to be £80. No doubt other hoops to jump through. BUT what if you want to store between 31L and 275L? ...

There's also a problem with the US Treasuries market. The yield has spiked quite significantly, meaning that there's a huge sell off happening. This is completely the opposite of what the administration cited as a key policy aim - lowering the treasury yields. Oh, the delicious irony. How I heard i...

A good stabiliser extends life to more than 2 years without any problems :) I use Mountfields universal stabiliser, so I don’t have to mess about so much :lol: Thanks, but that adds £1 a litre to my cost!!!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: I'd only want to pay up to about 1/4 of that Sounds like I'll need...
