Actually, I transplanted it into one of my "planter tubs". I feed my horses quite a few 200 lb. molasses tubs, and I am left with many of these black bucket/tub things. After reading up on the "earth box" planters, I decided to drill a hole about 6 inches up the side of these tubs and fill with a dirt and potting soil mix then plant all types of things in them. I've got these raspberries, some Kiowa blackberries, tomatoes (each year), some may pops (as my mom warned not to turn them loose in my yard) and a cute little sweet lace grape. I also use them to help small plants along until I'm ready to transplant them out on their own. Like the earth boxes, they hold plenty water, so I only water every couple weeks or so. And, if it rains in the tub, any excess runs out down to the bottom 6 inches or so. I'll attach a photo of the tub to give you an idea what I'm talking about.
PS: if you live near, and want some of these, Please come get them!
