So what did you buy today

[Bill G]

Fuel!
And oil.

I can't buy herbicides.

That is rough.

The blue drum the saw is sitting used to contain 30 gallons (114 liters) of Glyphosate (Roundup). Here anyone can buy it without restriction. Heck a kid can buy it but he/she cannot buy a can of spray paint.

Where I worked, a kid can buy a chainsaw but can't buy a knife...

I will see with any of my neighbors that are registered farmers and own permits to get me some herbicides.
I don't need much of it, but will use it generously.

Not going to spray large areas.
But certainly want to kill all and any weeds growing out of concrete & tarmac cracks, possibly kill everything for the year in rain drainage ditches.

If you can find someone selling used IBC totes that used to contain weedkiller (most likely glyphosphate) there may be a litre or two left over inside. And you will also have a storage crate for firewood.

That is a tiny firewood crate I have no means to move around.

And "poisonous" IBC totes go for up to 100€ here.
I will rather pay someone to buy me herbicides as it would take numerous "flushes" to utilize the tote for collecting rain water for plants and animals.

It is a solid idea, just not in my region.
I can get "hygienically clean" totes for the same price as "contaminated" ones.

I fill the IBC totes with used oil.
