Here, I found you a nice blue one. I must admit, if I didn't recycle as

Thank you! Those are the ones I want. They're a lot cheaper than the
horticultural-type barrels, and have loads of different uses.

Thanks again for your help.




Do you live in a rural area? When I was a farm rep I used to get many an
offer of "blue' barrels, capacity 40 gallons, that once held silage additive.
Very acidic and corrosive. But a good hosing out left them sweet and very
useable. I used them as water butts. Most dairy farmers I know would be
delighted to let you have 1 or 2, and most likely at no charge, just to get
rid of them. Ask around.
