I have had either dead slugs (hurrah) or rotting bits of tree go
down the
pipe into the waterbutt. I just emptied it and have cut back the
tree and
am
going to put a filter on the pipe and seal it better but wasn't
sure what
to
clean it with that wouldn't require hours and hours of rinsing. I
have
already scrubbed it but it smells a bit still. Is smelling water
ok for
plants (not seedlings)?


Personally I would wash it out with Jeyes Fluid, rinse it and then
leave for
a couple of days for odour to disappear. Jeyes Fliud is good for
detering
cats as well.

That would be a bad thing to do. Jeyes' Fluid is a plant poison.
