Hello All,
Wondering how people store plastic buckets, and large tanks between seasons. I use 32 gallon food grade trash cans, a 65 gallon water tank, and have a number of 5 gallon water containers, all were washed, bleached, rinsed very well and sun dried for a few days prior to storage. When getting things together this year I found a musty smell in some of my 5 gallon containers. These are all stored in an outdoor unheated shed. I did store them with the tops on. Mistake?
It takes a lot of space to store everything so looking for the best way to preserve the integrity of the insides without the musty smell. What do you do?
Thanks in advance

You likely had some moisture still there. Try storing them without the covers, but protect them from vermin somehow.
