Now might be a good time to get some empty mineral lick tubs. They work great as large planters. I realize that it may be hard for most urban folks to find them, but if you know of a cattle farmer/rancher near you, it doesn’t hurt to ask. Some will sell them for a couple of dollars, some will give them away. I asked a fellow I know who has cows if he would sell me some. He laughed and told me how he had a bunch he was trying to sell. No one wanted them. He put them at the end of his driveway with a sign that said “free” and they were all gone the next day. He gave me a bunch about a month later for free.

There’s a guy in OK that has videos about how he uses them as self wicking planters.

Anyway, just something to think about that could help you out.
