thanks for that!
so you think i should 'overwinter' it with filled water using the sand as base and then a liner? And make it dry out first a bit to put a preservative on the wood first? or is that needed on the inside.
I think i need to fill it to expand the wood cos they are a bit out of kilter.
I think i want to preserve the natural look but tis hard to do much when its bludy sodden out there, everything is a wash.
My beautiful bamboo has about three inches of rain water on the top of the massive caldron it is in and i am worrying about root rot, I scooped it all out this afternoon.
Will i make a wee umbrella to try and keep the terrible rain off it and yet some aeration to get the soil underneath to dry up a bit for the sake of the roots?
Or straw? sis has plenty of that, in bales full!

gardening is all so new to me.
and barrel and bamboo preservation, not to mention do i start building up my waterfeature of waterfall and plant the alpines i bought and are still in their wee plastic pots, they could get washed off the stones etc.
yeh, now i am on a roll, sorreeeee! well, not really!
