Rain barrels
I was given an old whiskey barrell and made a rain barrell with it. Will the water affect my plants (garden and landscaping) being in the whiskey barrell? And will the water be ok to mix chemicals with so I can spray the plants? Most of my stuff is organic sprays.

Re: Rain barrels
There are several sites online that actually sell rain barrels made from whiskey barrels, so I don't see how it should be a problem. Wish I had one!!

Re: Rain barrels
It shouldn't. How old is the barrel? Do you know, was there anything GROWN in it before you got it, or was it just used for aging spirits and wine?doc_jh wrote:I was given an old whiskey barrell and made a rain barrell with it.

It should, if it was simply used for spirits or wine.doc_jh wrote:And will the water be ok to mix chemicals with so I can spray the plants? Most of my stuff is organic sprays.

Wish I had 7 or 8 more. No problem to turn it into a rain barrell, took me maybe 15 min. Filled the thing up with one short rainstorm.
