    I have 2 of these tubs that I use for veg. 1 grows spring onions, the other carrots.
    They are great for planting.
    I also have another 3 for weeding etc.
    Shame the jysk stores are only up north, I would have had a couple of them :-(

    I use mine to mix plaster, they are for Laundry in my Wilkinsons and £3.50. Or £10 for Gorilla branded yellow bucket from builders merchants, which are better quality but not necessary for planting.

    My neighbour has 5 off them sunk in the ground 3 for runners and 2 for toms and they are looking good.
