Tin can planters.

[di]

Possibly an obvious to many,but I was pleased with my discovery anyway!!!
Most of my early sown tom's have got really leggy & I was struggling to find a pot deep enough to transplant them into...had a couple of deep yoghurt tubs,but needed more...well anyways...we had baked beans for tea & as I was washing out the tin for recycling my leggy toms caught mine eye!!!
A few holes in the bottom later &...Absolutely perfect!

i was wondering what i could use my tins for. been saving them for something useful but other than pen and label holders not much else

I'm actually saving tin cans to grow things in - specifically, the large tins of dog food that we buy from Lidl. I've got 6 filled with compost at the moment, and freesia bulbs in them, but i'm going to plant more up with things like herbs and so on. As someone else said, knock a few holes in the base and bob's yer uncle. look pretty too!

ive got beans tins on my fence posts with herbs in them and they look great.

what a fab idea andi&di....I've got three cats and mega cat food tins get recycled...these will def come in handy for transplanting things! wish I'd though of it
