needmoresoil, I knew you were my type of person, those pink birds flock here
and I have a hard time getting rid of them!! We have a tree out back that we have shaped into a birds nest and have an owl that sits in it. Items here in yard tend to walk off, how do you folks keep them from doing so? There are some creative items in this post, thanks for sharing!!

Talking

*Hahah* Why stop with just one?
Check out this slideshow at Flickr:
The Toilet Garden in Panama City, FL (the slideshow takes a little while to load ).

Actually, here are a couple of more internet pics that I saved in my inspiration file,
the "classiest" toilet garden that I've seen,
all fixtures included, right down to a functioning shower fountain/pond.

Great Link GT. I've always wanted a pot person but those 'affordable' pots get a bit pricey when you need so many.

LOL - I hear ya.
Nope, I don't think it's something that would work seamlessly into my garden at the moment either,
... but ... I actually do have one of those old tubs ... ... so who knows.

Popular idea .

Take a large flower pot or bucket or wooden barrel. Lay it down, half fill with soil and plant flowers in the part that has the soil.
Looks like a spilled bucket of flowers when in bloom.

Bali that's a wonderful look. I've seen it done with a wheelbarrow as well.
