In the yard late autumn, and in addition to the main trouble in the garden and site preparation for the winter, and in summer visitors there is another concern. There was a good time to take care of the summer supply of water in the spring. Even the fact that this same water tank did not explode and no rasperlo during cold weather, and so she remained unharmed.
You can often hear the opinion that there is no need water in the winter to leave the barrels, so they are not bursting and vomited. Water leaked under the trees in the garden, and zimuy calm, so that the soul does not hurt.
But it often happens that many truckers do not have any wells on the site, or nearby well. Water supply if there is, it is only the summer, and the water from the tap until May and can not wait. But some planting works begin in April. And if anyone has a greenhouse at the site, and even earlier. Accordingly, the need still arises in the water in the early spring.
Therefore, many gardeners are stocking up with water since autumn, using for this the old baths, barrels, tanks and cisterns. Someone gaining tap water, and someone leaves a container under the roof to collect rainwater.
If the barrel is small, it certainly can be embedded in the ground, and then she no frosts are not terrible. And what if the drums are large and very heavy? And how to protect the huge tank, so cubes 6, 8?
There are several ways and water stock, and barrel to leave unharmed.
method №1
On the stick or pole wire (rope) is attached a 5-liter plastic bottle. Then bottles with the pole at the tip is lowered to the bottom barrels of water, and the upper end thereof abuts against the rim of the barrel (pictured below). Thus, the water in the freezing process will not exert pressure on the vessel wall, and a plastic bottle, compressing it. A barrel will remain intact.
method №2
By the principle of action is similar to the first way and the effect is the same. The only difference is that the bottle is not attached to a stick and filled with one third sand and sink to the bottom of the water tank.
method №3
For this method you will need a bar or a stick of 5-7 cm in diameter, which should be higher than the barrel for at least 20-30 cm. Bruce just dipped in a barrel of water. It is desirable that the lower end thereof is rested in the center of the container. In the process of freezing water will exert pressure on wooden beams, rather than on the barrel wall.
This method is still used by our ancestors as plastic bottles and did not exist. And he rescued them perfectly.
By the way, I almost forgot to ask you to look at the photo below... :)
