An old-fashioned bathtub, the type with the claw feet. It was use to grow cherry tomatoes, and kept in a side alley/driveway. The tomatoes did very well, with vigorous growth and a lot tomatoes.
Find someone who is tossing an old Bar-b-que. Spray it a color of your choice and plant away. My mom planted an old gas grill for years. She sprayed it black, and put sweet potato vine, a dracena spike and bright red and white geraniums in it. Once the vines filled in it was something out of house beautiful.
I'm going to try that.
I've got a couple of old machines around here
You could try those cheap $2 Styrofoam coolers, poke a few holes throw some rocks on the bottom. Old cement blocks turned on their sides and the holes filled with dirt?
5 gallon buckets filled with potting soil ...they look really nice with flowers .
That is what I have done too. I use food grade buckets, often easily attainable for free from restaurants and delicatessens. I try to always get white buckets so there is uniformity of colour in containers.
In my climate using straw or hay bales to grow plants in is too dangerous, even with single bales on their own, as the risk of spontaneous combustion is far too high with damp or wetted down bales. Anyone considering using hay bales to grow in should make themselves aware of the risks and know what kinds of symptoms to check for to forestall spontaneous combustion of hay. https://www.bing.com/search?q=hay+ba...bb9f667a3f75fc

If using buckets, make sure to put drain holes in the bottom.
