Hi everyone,as I cant garden outdoors just now ground to hard to dig with this long cold winter weather we have had and still have.
I had to get a new washing machine so instead of disposing all of it.
We kept the drum and have used it as a planter for my strawberries .
So I have made a blog to let others see what we can use as a planter.

Has anyone else tried this ?

Quite a few people around here use the drum for an outdoor fire place.
Nice idea to use yours for strawberries!

I have never done so, but it is a good idea and you have built-in drainage depending on the washer type. I have seen a lot of planters through the years made from those.
you could probably even put some holes in the sides and plant even more strawberries in it. Interesting idea for sure. I like the fire pit idea also.
Yes but for now will grow it without any more holes.
The fire pit a good idea also.
