Default lining a whiskey barrel

"zxcvbob" wrote in message
...
If I buy a half whiskey barrel at HD, Menard's, or Lowe's, will clear 6
mil plastic be good enough for lining it so it will hold water? I assume
it won't hold water without a liner even after the wood swells up. I want
to plant a lotus seedling in it. I'm too cheap to buy a commercial barrel
liner. Thanks.

It'll work until it doesn't, and that moment cannot be predicted. But, since
you say you're cheap, you have alternative.
