I have 5 x 200 litre water butts - 4 are fine with minimal leave and insect debris but the 5th smells foul, like a ditch. Does this matter, and should I be addign anything to the water ?

What's the easiest way to clean it out? Empty it and tip it over or what? My hubby insists on cleaning out the pond pump foam in one of mine and it's silted up!!

the silt etc is very good for your plants andits natural . plants dont mind the smell .
