OT English System vs Imperial System of Measure
"FarmI" ask@itshall be given wrote:
LOL. That says it in a nutshell, methinks. But don't you have a whole collection of 20 litre lidded buckets? My potting shed has lots of them although I use the smaller ones (perhaps 15 litres???) without their lids for weeding, carting manure aroudn in etc. Very, very handy things are those tough poly buckets without their lids (with or without handles). I like this item called the Bucket Boss for my five gallon buckets. One holds my pruning tools and another empty bucket for the weeds. A nice item for those five gallon buckets. http://www.amazon.com/Bucket-Boss-01...8708103&sr=8-1 -- Enjoy Life...

I dont't use the big 5 gall buckets in my garden as they hang too low - the smaller (15 litre?) ones are a better size for someone of my height and perhaps the Fiskars might fit one of those as I think the diameter would be the same - must check. I currently drag my smaller tools around my acreage in a plastic rectangular shaped, plastic tool caddy thingo and I have 2 of them, one larger than the other. I love that seat for the 5 gallon bucket! I really, really want one! I might even break my own rule and buy one online from bloody Amazon (spit!). |

I love that seat for the 5 gallon bucket! I really, really want one! I might even break my own rule and buy one online from bloody Amazon (spit!). The seat does look desirable, not sure if the bucket will hold me up. The friskers holder sags too much for heavier items. I have the 35 pocket bucket boss and not the one listed. The one I have has mesh pockets for wet items. I bought my bucket boss at the local big box hardware store. I like the five gallon bucket, some items are long, like the compost temperature probe and I keep a rubber mallet when taking down and putting back up the wire fencing when i turn the compost piles. Pruning saw and other smaller tools are in it... Like the almighty cell phone or my iPad. I have a garden wagon that I have on occasion let the sides down and sit in it on occasion. I use the wagon for shovels and carrying large pots from inside to outside the home. -- Enjoy Life...

So it's NOT called an 'English' system. "American system", "US system", "UK system", "imperial system", "Metric System" almost every country has a measurement system with minor differences. There is even an "Australian System". However most are the two camps, "English and Imperial" with liquid measure having the greatest difference with the same named units. Yes, the US for the most part IS the English System. -- Enjoy Life...
