I have many Buckets with holes for drainage and such. Any time I turn around I have a different idea. So I have buckets and pots with holes in wrong spots. I’m tempted to just throw them away but my wife says no.

Any ideas? Right now they are stacked along the fence.

You could try and turn them into a cascading drip fountain with a pump at the bottom reservoir pumping the water back up.

3 Billion Chinese historically use woven baskets that double as rinsing aids. Handy to have for containing things that also need cleaning. You may just need more holes in them.

The lady I collect horse manure in has all my broken buckets, with or without holes in. I don't think people who muck out horse shit are too particular what it goes in, and there is bound to be one not far off.

I just put duct tape on the holes and move on to the next project. They're still buckets.

Some lady.

I transport kitchen waste to compost piles in buckets with holes in them...sometimes they sit full for days before I get around to moving them to the compost pile. Works for me.

"Some lady."

My error, should have been 'from', not 'in'. She is "Some lady" actually, keeps horses and runs a riding school as well as having a pottery studio and kilns where she sells pottery and gives pottery lessons, pretty diverse skills to be teaching.
