Avoid rust and decay and rot

Answered

I have had so many repurposed items in my garden over the last 10 years, wagons, wheelbarrows, buckets, boxes, and all of them have rotted/decayed away. Frustrated!

HI Janice--I've wondered about that too. Here is a link one reader posted and I am sure you could ask at your Nursery or HD what could work. http://www.hometalk.com/diy/outdoor/q-has-anyone-needed-a-solution-for-protecting-metal-furniture-from-the-elements-in-an-186921

Has anyone needed a solution for protecting metal furniture from the elements in an oceanfront location?

Oh, I have done that. Lots of ideas, but require recoating year after year. What, don't plant directly in them, remove plantings routinely, and recoat? I am shaking my head as I type.
