Where did you see them in the first place? If it was on a tv programme, for
example, why not contact someone in the tv prog. office?

Here, I found you a nice blue one. I must admit, if I didn't recycle as
if my life depended on it I would be tempted to spend £8 plus vat on
one of these!!

I use a few of jam barrels from the Droylsden Jam factory that my
friend gets for me - it's easy to cut holes in them, with an electric
jigsaw though and great as water butts.

Hope this helps a little.

Does anyone know where I can buy (online) those black plastic bags for
growing potatoes? Also, does anyone know where I can buy (online) those
large blue barrels for growing strawberries?

I've ventured back to thank those of you who replied with helpful
suggestions. Many thanks. After extensive searching I discovered that
the bags are called "poly bags" so that made it easier to find them.
However, a search for "big blue strawberry barrel" still doesn't turn up
anything.

Except that giggle is a waste of time in my experience!

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.
