My thoughts exactly, thats why the one im waiting for Rainwater Terrace it has planters integrated into it which you can use to grow/trail plants down and over it at different intervals on the butt! it will look great once its been in a year and the plants are established. The patio is the best place for it really as it will get the most use there rather than been hidden away out of sight.
make sure you clear it out once in awhile as soil ,muck and midges will settle in it.So once in awhile at the beginning and end of season clean out .dont let the water stagnant.
“flowering rose- make sure you clear it out once in awhile as soil ,muck and midges will settle in it.So once in awhile at the beginning and end of season clean out .don’t let the water stagnant.”
How often would you recommend this? Yearly? Would the water inside if stagnant be safe to use on a salad garden so not to waste the drained water…..

Verdun, a word in your ear about Greengardener12.......
Sorry, not Verdun, who does so much to keep the place clean and tidy.
Fidgetbones, 'tis you I think who needs to have a go with the broom.
Has my OH been complaining about the mess again? He knows I cant tidy up while the sciatica is playing up. Its all I can do to sit and watch telly.
I clear the water butts at least twice a year.
