Hello , I live in Pittsford NY near Rochester. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can purchase the old wind half barrels for planting. I am planning on using several and I need solid long lasting containers. Most of what I have seen in the garden stores seem poorly constructed. Any ideas would be appreciated. |

Yes, whiskey barrels from Kmart/Walmart fall apart in about a year or so. The bottoms of whiskey barrels eventually fall out also with the weight, they do not have good drainage. Drilling about 5 holes on the bottom, placing a screen on the bottom with rocks on top will keep your plant from root rot. Good luck. www.shop.com/BB1706_17_IN_WHISKEY_BARREL_2540227-1 2769103-p!.shtml |
