Unique containers.

Show Date: 26 Jun 09

Tired of terra cotta? How about a Tub o’ Tunias?

We’re talking unique containers: Old bathtubs, suitcases, sneakers and hockey skates! Anything that will hold soil and you can put drain holes in can be used as a container. Use a nail spike or a drill to create drain holes. You can recycle those ugly plastic pots you get from the nursery by scuffing them up with sand paper and spray painting them. You need to scuff them up so the paint has something to hold onto.

Garage sales offer killer places to scope out unique containers for cheap prices. Go for natural containers and use hollowed logs.
