    useful freebie 15L buckets

    hello all,
    Just wanted to share this with all you D.I.Y handypeople. McDonalds, yes makers of the Big Mac burger, throw out their pickle buckets once empty and we've been going in each week & offering to take them off their hands. Sometimes 3 or 4, other times somebody else has beaten us to it. 100's of uses, the local kindergarten are storing everyhting in them! Anyway, there
    Strong, food grade white plastic containers with lids! I'm using mine to mix up the beefheart recipe, transport discus and wash gravel in this weekend. Hope you find your local McDonalds store does the same. Cheers Vicki

    i used to wokr at mcds and my god to you not want those buckets
    pickle juice seeps into the plastic of the buckets
    leave water in them overnight and check the ph in the morning
    It's always darkest before dawn ... so if you're going to steal some rocks
    from your neighbours garden for your display tank, that's the time to do it.
