It seems a bit cruel keeping goldfish in the dark. How do you know they are ok? I haven't sussed out out to take the lid off my butt yet, so I don't know how much water is in it never mind how to get the goldfish in. I guess I'll have to throw my goldfish up on the roof and let it slide down gutterpipe into the butt. :-)Last edited by Joe; 08-08-2009, 10:43 AM.

Just back from lottie and emptied the butt - the smell was DIS-GUS-TING but nothing in there that I could see that caused the smell. Some little wriggly things which i think may have been from the mossies dont really know and lots of slime around thetop - yuk!! Anyway it has now had a dousing of milton so hopefully that is it, also made sure the pipe was fit better so not so much room for 'things' to get in. Fingers crossed.

Anyway, they aren't in total darkness, I have the lid covering 2 thirds of the butt.
If I had the butt tight-fitting, the mozzies wouldn't get in and I wouldn't need the fish anywayAll gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.

Reply to Heated mat for Tom's and chilliesby raryI use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
