  • Two water butts - one Mini

    Following Danny's excellent tip off of good cheap water butts at Argos - off I trundle to pick up two of these....



    ...following SD assuring me they will fit in the Mini - the Argos staff watched in wonderment as to how this would happen.

    Credit to the SD, he got 'em in - just

          we picked these up are 1800hrs last night and then stopped at a Beefeater for supper so didn't get home until around 2000hrs - so they are still in plastic wrappers

          Although I don't plan on attaching to a down pipe as shown in the picture, mine will be sitting at either side of the back side of my greenhouse - using the runoff.

          Quite of a few Viners seem to be buying these, so one of them may be doing the down-pipe thing - it is in this thread

            I have the same one - I bought it a few years ago. To attach all the bits is, as Alexandr Orlov would say - simples.

                      thankfully the base comes off the main butt - so we were stood in Argos carpark unpacking, stripping (butts not us!) and making like a jigsaw to get 'em in.

                      Thank goodness for side mirrors
