Rusty Goodness Drought Tolerant Planting
Posted February 10, 2026
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!
