Decorate an old mailbox with paint and place it in your garden. It is a great place to store gloves and hand tools, and it also looks pretty.

I did however one time have some teeny, tiny ants try to take up residence in my mailbox & had to put an ant bait trap in there.
No ants allowed?

Sheila that is a good idea about the fish food. Maybe the raccoons won't get to it in there.

Yes, I keep my fishfood in an old mialbox by the side of one of my ponds. It also has those of those little green lizards that are so cute.
