Specialty Gardening: Washer/dryer tubs for containers, 0 by TuttiFrutti

As you can see, we did it... twice! These tubs were from rather old washers; all metal with a porcelain seal. I used a gallon plastic garden pot to cover the center hole while we filled each tub with dirt, and then the lil pigs showed up and took over. *shrug* ;)

My fiance partially submerged the tubs in an area we just cleared out. There had been an old wooden garage of sorts there... which we fondly referred to as the 'lean-to' before it became firewood ;)... but we feared that some of the richness of the black dirt in that area might be motor oil, so this was a perfect solution to using the area while we see if sunflowers (or even weeds) can survive. Thanks again for the inspiration!!!
