Toilet Planter

RE: Toilet Planter Post By Karen Lawson (Guest Post) (07/03/2008) I have an extra potty that my husband rescued, it was about to be carried to the landfill. I have seen these and I think they are pretty cool. But I tend to like strange things anyway! LOL! This prompts me to go ahead and plant in mine too. I am sure it would be quite a conversation piece. Maybe I'll put it in the back yard, then again, maybe not! I don't have a yard police in my area! LOL! I'd love to see pics of all these mentioned!

I get lots of comments but have the problem of water draining out of the tank and the bottom too quickly. I did not put rocks, just dirt and perhaps I need to redo it. I have various plants in tank and a aloe vera cactus in bowl.

If you are lucky enough to have a yard....I wouldn't ugly it up with a toilet and all the visions it would conjure up!!!!! Where is the beauty of it? Get an old wagon (drill holes in the bottom) or an old rusty bucket (same holes).

The bath looks good though. Marg from England Report Spam or Abuse RE: Toilet Planter Post By Pattie (Guest Post) (05/01/2007) I've got a better solution. With all the things to recycle into planters a toilet in your yard is just too much. An old toilet is a toilet, period. Take it to the local dump and find something a bit more upscale!

I filled the stool and tank with pebbles allowing for about 5 inches of dirt on top if the stones. I wish I had a picture of my favorite "POT" with airplane plants out of the tank and ivy out of the bowl! I have this in my backyard because my neighbors with $15,000 flower beds would call the deed restriction "police" if I put it in the front yard! Everyone of my back-door- friends loves it! Smile whenever you see it!

The water should then run out. Report Spam or Abuse
