I have mentioned before that I have used galvanized stock tanks for our veggie gardens. The are the prefect solution to growing large tomatoes, lettuce and peppers in a smaller space. I am using these containers again for a client, but on a much large scale. While sourcing the larger containers I came across these great alternative uses for the stock tanks in the garden/yard.
