Yeah, that sounds like a good swap
If I bring you 2 buckets can I have 2 bacon cobs?
cheaper to buy new buckets?

I actually meant do I get a bacon cob along with said bucket, to cover my fuel costs. .

Does anyone else keep the lick bucket lids ? They make great plates for ewes in their individual pens.

Or putting the kids toys in in the garden. Mother uses them for her veg and potato plants. They are also in the workshop for water fittings and spare bits (stacked 8 high) and handy for putting spray cans in so they don’t blow across the sheep pens. All lambing equipment is stored in them as well as using them for feed and sometimes water in lambing pens. We have a fair few over the years...

I use some of my old buckets for nest boxes, piece of cake to clean them out too!

Ummmm, you may joke, but my father used to do that all the time. One tuppenny glove could be made to last for quite a few cows......

@Man_in_black , I regret to inform you that you recently missed a bargain on eBay. When I moved Farm, I took a few piles of DB buckets from my stash, but left the rest in the old loft. I am told that they were put on eBay last winter, thinking someone just like you would jump at the chance of some cheap lambing pen buckets. I’m told there wasn’t a single bid.
Based on historical evidence, I regretfully inform you you that your self emptying bucket is unfortunately worth sweet FA. Whole piles of watertight buckets, complete with metal handles no less, have been passed over and ‘recycled’.

My agapanthus and mint are currently coralled within old mineral buckets, and my comfrey is confined within a big beetlick tub.
I'm toying with the idea of cutting out the bottoms of beetlick buckets to slot together to make towers for growing tiddies in.
Wasn't I cross to find a large store of the old fashioned, grey, oblong indestructible lick buckets had been chucked into "recycling" in advance of a FABBL visit. Never crossed the chucker's mind to use them for storage. Inspector never went up the steps to that tallet, so the bad decision was due to panic, I feel.

Well I’m driving, obviously. I wouldnt put my trust in Kev and would rather trust a bucket!!
I’m not sure why I didn’t wear the helmet that’s stowed on the handlebars though!!!

I'd guess it's 'cos @Kevtherev reckoned that if you fell off it would cost money to re-spray the bike, whereas your bonce would mend itself for free (given a bit of time)
