Ice Water Butt demolition

The blue barrels are usually OK in the cold weather but they can also split after a few years of use. However the splits are usually small and can be repaired using gaffa tape inside and out.

I always empty my butts in November and close the taps at the end of February. It only takes a day or two of rain to fill them again. This way I also wash out old stale sludgy water.

I checked today and fortunately my butt has not been demolished
