Have same question. See beautiful pictures, but not sure of weight. Also have slightly slope to back yard. Mine is rusted inside bottom, but outside bottom is not – care or treatment?

Make a planter out of the leaky birdbath…trailing plants look great in them!?

I have been hesitant to use it as it has no holes for drainage, and I was having some hesitation about putting a hole in a perfectly good tub. If I decide to do so what have you found is the best way to put holes in the galvanized tub? Thank you for a reply. Cynthia

I have a question…When planting flowers in them, do you fill the can with dirt or TRY and find a container to fit perfectly in the opening? I also have a big tub and would love to do something with it, but wasn’t sure about what…once again I wasn’t sure if I should fill it completely with soil or not. NOW I have wonderful pictures and ideas as to what to do with that tub! LOVE WATERING CANS!! Thank you in advance for any replies!
Sheila

Someone handpainted little flowers on them years ago. Love them!

Big tubs, watering cans & old buckets! Love ’em! My fav is my tipsy buckets w/watering can on top….but I also have a wash tub growing ‘Live Forever’ & some dianthsus…would like the Live Forever to take it over! Fun in the garden!

I have a square wash tub sitting on its side with a plant sitting inside. The tub has its ‘back’ to the sun hitting the deck. We live in Florida so it’s a great way to keep direct sun off plants when you need to.

I just love the gray against the coloured flowers. I also buy a lot of zink pots. They are not so heavy to lift, and handles the frost in a good way.
