After 12 months or so I will drain it and put the fuel in the motorbike. Also sorted out some old pop bottles to fill with water and stick in the veg containers for when we are away next week, will drop the seedlings that are still in trays round to the neighbour to look after.
Just as a side note, i have been watering the veg using water from 2 x 200L butts for the last 2 weeks. We've had hardly any rain over the last 2 weeks and now one butt is empty and the other is only 2/3 full. It's amazing how much you use just for a little veg plot like mine, worth bearing in mind if things ever went totally belly up. We have a river very near us so it wouldn't be a major problem for us but if you dont have access to a river/well etc it would be a really good idea to think of alternative arrangements. Another week and a half with no rain and both my butts would be empty just looking after the veg.
yep, our water butts are the same - big one nearly empty, yet to start on small one. We need some rain.
Itsy yelled at me. Scoobie TELL HER ! She YELLED!
