    Most unusual plant container?????

    Just thought I'd start a thread for to find out what odd things other grapes use for containerised growing?
    Mine is pretty boring as I've just found some plant troughs in a shed I've aquired and I think I will plant wall mounted chillie peppers in them. Have a host of other buckets a tins (one is a stove enamelled old bread bin!) water buts, dustbins and even a few large plant pots!
    So come on, lets hear about (with a piccie if pos) your most unusual container!

    I have a pair of old wellies which are brightly striped. The plan is to find something to plant in them - just not sure what yet.

        I have a builders hod - the thing on a stick they carry bricks in. Got it from my dad when he moved house, but not sure what to plant in it.
        i have a butler sink and a 2 old bread bins - these need a revamp.

                I planted trailing tomatoes, spider plants, nasturtiums etc in plastic milk bottles (4 pint) which were suspended from my balcony with a hand-plaited macrame string thingummy (too much time on my hands, clearly)

                  LOL - good one Snadger. However, Madmax might go mad if I grow another rubber tree though!! Was thinking more of something to live outdoors.
