where would one acquire the blue water barrels for using on an allotment?

Google plastic barrels and you'll come up with companies like these:-

Plastic barrels/drums - Plastic drums/barrels from 120 litre capacity.

Recycled Containers

Various prices depending on size and what they used to contain.

Or search same words on ebay and find nearest to you. There are loads. I've just got 5 from Leeds, 2 for me and 3 for my neighbour.

I'd love a few of those flush fitting ones, I've 4 downpipes off our house, but would struggle with standard/slim line butts.. The flush fitting ones are a bit pricey though.

ref the blue butts,we got lots for free,mr ld went round the local factories,then jet washed them out,and we have the black lids on most of them,very good for keeping the water cleaner longer,
