oak barrel
I bought a half oak barrel from the garden center which was used to store port..I hope to fill it from rain barrels we have in the next heavy rain..Do I have to do anything to it before filling so that fish will not be affected?

Unless I'm on the right. On the question, I can't imagine that any alcohol detectable by anything short of gas chromatography will be left in the wood by now. A bit of sugar, maybe, but I doubt if that would be in harmful concentration. If Solaara (should be Solera, perhaps) is worried, then filling the tub and letting it stand for a few days, then tipping out and refilling should set her mind at rest. -- Mike. |

Port is NEVER passed to the right.........so you would not get any. |

[...] Port is NEVER passed to the right.........so you would not get any. You envisage a formal table as, under certain circumstances, a monocheiral spatial anomaly in which left goes on ad infinitum in a linear fashion without ever getting back to me? This is pure genius. You have solved a multiple problem in cosmology which has been nagging me for years, ever since a Bump Supper at which various hitherto unexplained phenomena occurred. What, for example, happened to my left shoe? How did so many black ties, clearly without the intervention of human agency, levitate to the flagpole? Who _was_ that woman? Or was it a goat? Above all, why was the following day Monday rather than, as is generally predictable in 4-space, Sunday? Your Nobel Prize is in the post. -- MIke. |

Having bought it from a garden centre, are you perfectly sure it hasn't been treated at all?? I don't know how big this barrel is, but it probably won't be big enough to support many fish. In this hot weather, the water will soon be bereft of oxygen. If you must do this, then just two small goldfish, and see how you go. -- ßôyþëtë |

Why not line it with pond quality polythene to be sure that the fish do not become drunk or more seriously, high and dry. Pete www.thecanalshop.com |
