Feeding Bin

[JonesyBhoy]

whats does everyone use to store their feeding? and any direction on where to buy

[Bryngwynt Lofts]

I managed to get hold of a stell bin,which is raised on the floor.Which you see in Garden Centres holding there bird food in.

 

Also have a metal bin in the other loft as well.

I got mine from a club mate who worked in a creamery. Originally they contained frozen concentrated orange juice. This was about 25 years ago, and I'm still using them. Very durable, heavy plastic with lift off lid. Not sure of size, but each bin holds 2 x 25kg of mixture. Same bin still available locally (2nd hand) cost approx. £6-£8. Have one in each loft so I can feed different mixtures within each loft, and have a few more in workshop to store conditioning seed etc. Was actually thinking of getting a few more to store our wild bird seeds in.

I bought some plastic rubbish bins from B&M stores,holds three bags of feed and the lid clips shut,cost £5or£6 pounds,mine lie out in all weather no problem.

An old metal bin,that's about50 yrs old,a b&m bin,and unopened bags in the back cupboard.

Mainly dustbins - from Wilkinsons, at the time they were £7 each, (now £11) they have screw lids. Also knew someone in the catering industry and have several other bins that started life as gravy, mayonnaise and oil containers various sizes from 10 litres to 50 litres, that we use for grit, loft white, conditioning seed and depurative

Plastic bins with the lids mate as Kojak says hold 60KG no problem

Mine is on a four section silo I made with a shute at the bottom that way when you replenish the chuck your finishing off the old stuff first where as a bin ul if you just keep topping it up the chuck at the bottom could be off omo

[Potter29]

60 litre blue barrels we screw on red lids i use , tenner each off ebay new

[walterboswell59]

i put un opened bags in wheelie bins and open a bag into my old milk churn

[Roland]

Well I buy about 6 -8 25 bags at a time. Costs about £10 in fuel to do the 90 of miles.

Reason being Tic Beans £6 Wheat / Barley etc. £4 etc.

So I save a few quiddies eh!

The Normal Refuse Bins are handy. Hide yours and go to Council and report lost lol

I think there is a wee charge now... But they hold 5 or 6 bags left in bags,

I also found like Georgie says B and M bins fine. ... Need at least 3 so I can mix a few 25K bags if and when needed.

Mind it also depends on room available. I, again am lucky here.

Mind we are lucky that we nigh always have a very small majority council no matter whether Labour or the conning ones.

So they need to be good or lose the vote next time round eh!
