Old Laundry Tub Garden

When my wife and I first moved into our home there was one of these old concrete laundry tubs. When we renovated the laundry I kept the tub part. Over the years it has been used as a spare esky for big parties, used for kids games etc. However for the last few years it has been sitting in the corner full of junk. Recently my wife has been bugging me to grow more flowers (as they do), so a few weeks ago I draged this thing (it's bloody heavy) into a spare spot under my Grevillia's, filled it with manure and planted some marigold and cone flowers, along with some herbs (couuldn't help myself). When the coneflowers work I'll let you know. (maybe next year?)
