My question is Does the barrel need to be completley full or is half full ok? Is it ok to just keep adding to the barrel untill its full? Might take a year to fill. Thanks Author Posts Viewing 0 reply threads you should log in to reply to this topic. Username or Email Address Password Remember Me Need an account? Click here to register
