We recycled our old wet/dry shop vac into a planter. There was a threaded drain at the bottom which we did not tighten fully so that water could drain out. The blue also adds color to the yard.

It’s okay to not know all the answers.

Thanks. We are from the old school. We try to recycle rather than throw into the trash, plus it adds color to the yard.

Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.

My company recycles electronics and it is amazing what you can repurpose if you just look at them from a reuse perspective.

But I really like the vac idea.
