I love re-purposing things into planters! I have my strawberries planted in a big tree stump, which works great because it breaks down naturally (I just add typical compost material) and it has those natural little shelves for the runners.
I salvage broken mugs and bowls, too, since ceramics and glass are great non-toxic planters anyway! This worked nice for mint, which spreads so much, as I had a big “popcorn” bowl that had a crack, so I knocked the bottom out and sunk it in the soil. Kept the mint from getting too carried away!
People use toilets and bathtubs around here as planters…might as well use old drawers
This actually is cute.
April, yes I’ve seen the toilets as well. I think I prefer the old drawers.
I use a set of old drawers for my leaf salad mixes they don`t get to big (the greens) and I replant every 3 weeks!
