thanks del,
i can see that it would help me if i could find somthing to support the bag high whilst it drains, that was my only problem those bags do get quite heavy, and they take a very long time to drain, on the whole though del thanks for the tip on using bags they realy are first class, and i am very pleased that i bought them.

i have left the bucket containing the green water to settle since i done the extraction i will today syphon the water, as you say i am sure there will be some thing in there also, i will take some pics of this also, if there is anything of interest in the bottom of the bucket it might be worth showing this also. .... thanks and peace ....
