WHAT TO DO WITH A OLD HOT TUB?
-
Jeri Cleveland on Jun 22, 2013My sister is using hers as a planter for her veggie garden. It's a perfect height for no bending. Her husband rigged a board that stretches across the tub with a sprinkler on it to make watering easier, too. It's located on her patio in CA and is protected from the heat of direct sunlight, yet gets enough light to have a flourishing garden.Helpful Reply

Jessie on Jun 22, 2013when I purchased my 100 yr old home there was an old fiberglass hot tub on the property, we dug a hole placed the fiberglass tub in the ground and lined it with pond liner. I added rocks and and plants and an above ground filter adding fish was the last step. We love it.Helpful Reply

White Oak Studio Designs on Jun 25, 2013Along the same line, I'm about ready to have a hot tub cover to "recycle." I HATE the though of putting it in the landfill. Any idea of how to turn this into something productive? The only thing I can think of is a "umbrella" for our chickens! I wondered if the hot tub base could somehow be used as a raised garden bed? Or maybe a large animal watering trough (if it does not leak)?Helpful Reply
