That's my way of doing.In Italy when they bottle passata they use the same method,commonly using an oil drum.

Absolutely green with envy.I really don't know why I've never been.He was, and remains,one of my favourite gardeners along with Lawrence Hills,who of course influenced so much of his gardening.The last time I went to Ryton there was a garden there that was laid out 'Barnsdale style' in his memory.

Hi y'all.
