You could think BIG as it is deep, or you could go small with sempers, or something to trail.... Where are you going to keep it. You could even grow veg in it.

This is going to be an excellent planter! Years ago I had four old toilets at the end of the garden planted up and it looked great! :)

grasses would be lovely, i imagined something tall growing one end and trailers the other? asymetrical?? can you grow a loofer???!!!

How about a nice crop of carrotts, home grown are lush, then next spring plant aubretias around the edge so they can trail over, and your idea of lots of gorgeous grasses, tall and small, also Iris, & lavendar. x

Would also make a great table for the garden.

There must be plenty o plants out there with relevant names - a rose for example called 'rubber duck' . I'm sure GOYers can name quite a few for you Cristina

Do you know Cris, we have, but you are toooooo far away!! We are going to get a skip to remove it soon! Put loads of crocs, broken pots and bits of old unwanted stone in the bottom first, if you have some of that lining fabric maybe put a square over the plug hole first to stop soil falling out!

you could put a 'mat' of something growing underneath ~ is it sedum that grows like a mat?
