Hi,
I am new to the forum and hope somebody in the area of Reading/Bracknell/Windsor can help please.

I am shortly moving to a brand new uncultivated plot. A very small area, and I anticipate growing a small number of veggies just for my own use in containers. I am initially looking for advice of sourcing one of those big plastic food barrels (or even two) to use as water butts.

Can anybody suggest where I might be able to get one locally? Most companies that deal in these barrels seem to be in the Midlands and I haven't been able to find anything near me.

TIA

Hi Sadge

Welcome to gardenbanter and uk.rec.gardening.

If you would care to go to http://www.myalbum.com/Album=MUKLG34Q and look at
photo SG101021 you will see 5 'water butts' linked together behind my
garage. These are Fruit Juice Barrels obtained from my local Garden
Centre/Nursery thingy.

Might be worth your while printing off the picture of them and touting it
round your likely places.

Good Luck

Mike

""Most companies that deal in these barrels seem to be in the Midlands""

I should have added, as many urglers know, I am on the Isle of Wight which
is NOT in the Midlands ;-)
