Hi everyone - I can't really find where's best to put this question, but as I want this to be a fixture at my allotment I've put it here 
I have one of those strawberry towers - the ones with little half cups in about 26 holes around the tower, open at the top with a watering tube down the middle. Well, i've never had much success with strawberries in it - they seem to die over the winter. It's had 2 chances now, so it's got to go!
Thing is, I'd like to put it up at the lottie and put it to good use. I can't afford to replace the soil in it - it's currently filled with 2/3rds multi-purpose and 1/3 grit, so can't see it being used for veg. I like to have a variety of plants and flowers too and was thinking of making it into a kind of alpine feature - then hopefully it will look after itself.
Any other ideas grapes?

If you have a whole allotment that might not be such a tempting idea though.
