I did a thing.

Let me introduce to you: our new rain barrel. Made from a barrique (red wine) barrel.

Yes, it still smells like red. I wonder how many happy moments the content of this barrel once helped creating 🍷

@derthomas Would it not serve as an excellent mosquito hatchery as well? :thaenkin:

It will get a lid eventually. I just need to find oak planks to make one, which is surprisingly difficult.

    Thank you! A simple wooden cover made from oak wood. Unfortunately oak planks are very hard to get for some reason.

    Something like this: https://fassmoebel.de/media/image/product/477/lg/weinfass-regentonne-300l-mit-deckel-und-fassdaubengriff-aufgearbeitet-u-geoelt.jpg

    Not so much here, but we try not to attract them with open waters. So our rain barrels are usually covered.

    Yeah he is usually the first one they attack 😞
    But there aren't that many around usually.

    @derthomas Looks great!

    Thanks! Once I have a cover that transformers it into a table, we can drink some reds on it at our Metalhead Club meeting here 😜

    @derthomas Sounds like a plan. And afterwards we fill it with single malt and create our own Metalhead Club whisky, sell it for a ridiculously high price and become rich beyond measure 😁

    @derthomas While it looks good, and well done, I wonder:

    a) how drunk the garden is going to get?

    b) how disapointed guests are going ot be when they see it, and find out it is only for rainwater?

    Also. did you have to empty it first??

    derthomas,
    @derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

    @SteveClough
    a) I'll do proper research by only watering one little part of the plants with it, to see if it has any effect.
    b) that might indeed be misleading. But I'll make sure to always have some bottles at home to make up for the initial disappointment.

    And no, unfortunately not 😞

    @derthomas you're aware that you cannot really turn water to wine, even with a used barrel? 😅

    derthomas,
    @derthomas@metalhead.club avatar

    @mbr
    Yeah I already tried it, I didn't get drunk 😂

    @derthomas I like your scientific approach, you're never sure 'til you experiment it 🤓
