Title: Those wonderful black buckits and what to do with them.
Post by: legendaryone on March 24, 2008, 21:47:22
I have quite a few now and would like to do something different with them, so i was wondering if any of you have any ideas.
One idea i have had is to use a lot of them to build a conical feature for example have six in a circle then have three above finished off with one on top. I would also like to build bigger ones (does anyone know of a formula i could use to work out how many i would need to build bigger one ?)

So what ideas do you have ?

Here is a photo of what i talked about, having built it i see i can put a buckit in the middle and plant that as well. I just need to find where on the allotment it/they will go and if they will be permanent or just for the season, maybe both  ;)

If you cut holes around each you could have it positively dripping with strawberries.
