[QUOTE="Dry Rot, post: 8492577, member: 4505"] Reading another thread on here got me doing some research into molasses. Apparently it has a very low freezing point and is sometimes added to water to stop it freezing. No water rates here (yet) so I have "over flow" pipes fitted to all water troughs. The pipes lead to the nearest ditch and can be switched on or off by lowering or raising the height. Though the last couple of days leaving them to trickle meant they were all frozen solid! Kettles of boiling water got a couple of essential ones working though and I've left them flowing. Not as if there's actually a water shortage up here at the moment!. [/QUOTE]
