Hiya, You need to cut off the tops, I used a hacksaw, then turn the sharp edge over so it's safe, hammer, pliers are handy here. You may find that your tanks have been treated with a sort of varnish, you will need to remove this if you want a nice verdigris effect, I used wet and dry paper, time consuming, smelly and messy, but hey - free planter!
You'll also need to drill some holes in the base for drainage.
On my tanks there is a copper pipe sticking out 4 inchs from ground, I have sealed this up with corks.
It's all ready now to receive a pumpkin plant. |
