Galvanized Stock Tanks in the Garden

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.

Planted with evergreens and placed on wheels, the troughs create a large garden gate.

Used intertwined to create an interesting planting bed.

Used as a water garden with Lillies. I love this image mixed with the gravel and stone.

  1. Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old
    daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.

    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely
    off topic but I had to tell someone!

  3. In my presentations, I like to share this tip from my gardening friend Paul Zammit. When he worked at the Toronto Botanical Garden, the public garden’s Veggie Village has several bottomless stock tanks with false bottoms for the soil.
