Default Re: Take a look before the Fall

Hey, folks, there aren't too many whiskey barrels in California! They're most likely wine or brandy barrels. The only difference is that whiskey barrels are usually charred inside, I think.

I can sometimes get 30 gallon plastic barrels for free or I can buy them from a recycler for something like $10. You might look around in your area for them, though they aren't as pretty as the wooden barrels. I use them as totes some of the time but do also plan on using some for some large banana pots one of these days. Since I have a small tractor with a loader it is easy for me to move them from my garden to my cozy shop.
