Rusty Goodness Drought Tolerant Planting
Posted November 14, 2015
Well, let me say that if I had lived closer to this sale I would have owned all of this rusty perfection. I only ended up with 5 of these rusty kettles at $1 each and I love them. I bought them because I love rust and could envision them filled with succulents. I finally got around to making one today and this is what I did from start to finish.Look at this! Isn't it beautiful?
This one didn't have a bale but it's still cool!
I didn't have to, but I gave it a light coat of clear satin just to preserve the rusty goodness and...I may want it inside at some point. Notice the rusted out drain hole!
I filled it with potting soil for cactus and filled it with succulents that I already have growing around my house.
Old stumps make great plant stands!
I'm loving it!

I would have grabbed those
I would have grabbed those rusty pots too! Good idea to give it a coat of sealer, and I love your tree stump plant stand!
Thank you! I picked those up
Thank you! I picked those up in the Lodi/Stockton area at an Estate sale...they have the best sales up there! Like I said...I would have probably bought all of them if I had room plus the wrought iron gates!
Lovely, I love rusty
Lovely, I love rusty too...and succulents. Just planted some more recently.
I love them and that's really
I love them and that's really good since that's about all that will thrive here right now. We're in such a drought situation that our watering is limited so I dug up 1/2 of my front yard and planted succulents in pots along with a few other drought tolerant plants. I actually love my front yard now! I'll post a pic of what I've done soon.
