Smelly Water Butt
One of our water butts gets smelly. It's the one which collects off the
house roof and lichen etc comes down. Is it that? I intend opening the tap and draining it and leaving the tap open over winter, hopefully it should clean it out with a wash through over winter. (We will now have a very dry winter ;-) Mike -- .................................... Don't take life too seriously, you'll never get out alive. .................................... |

Over years I've found a large floating rat and skeletons of several small birds drowned in ours. Apparently victims of fatal nosiness. Janet Thanks for the suggestions folks. No, nothing in there except a mossy type Lichen of the roof of the house. Now drained with the tap open and it can stay like that until the Spring. Mike -- ....................................
