Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4
Well, my plan was to install my shed guttering and water butts over the Easter break which was a great plan completely ruined by the water butts not being delivered until this morning!

Re: What Preps are you doing this week? Part 4
Mentioned to the other half about getting a water butt to collect from the shed roof because 'rain water is better for the plants'.

I'm only a newbie here myself and while learning fast I am an expert on nothing and I wouldn't want anyone to think otherwise. (In fact I've just added ...
