grubby Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Was at the new Masters at Richlands yesterday getting some DIY stuff and noticed these little beauties. 300 litre plastic garden pots reduced from $69 to $30. I got mine for $25 bucks as the rim was scuffed. Just need to plug up the bottom and she is good to go as a breeding pond for natives. 90 cm dia by 64 cm deep. They have plenty of them, just a pity they are closed today if you are chasing one. Great thing is they will hold there shape unlike the 200 litre black Bunnings bins that I currently use.

I believe Masters is open today until 6pm - just check out your nearest store hours before you go. I might pop down there myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Ah awesome Stoney, I need some Kneadit aquatic to plug up the holes. Well off to Masters it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grubby Posted January 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Actually I lied, I just checked the bottom of this pot and it says 260 litres not 300 as I initially calculated. Still a bloody good pond for the money. I just went to masters to get some BBQ gas, there aint too many of these pots left. Better hurry people, the race is on.

grubby Posted January 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2015 Wow they didn't last long, I just popped into Masters Richlands to get some stuff and noticed that all the pots were gone, bar one which was scuffed up, so I got it for $10 off I converted mine over the weekend, siliconed up the bottom, drilled the rim and 3/4 covered it in shade cloth. Its has water lilies, nardoo fern and java moss in it. Now all I need is something to put in it, might get up early 2morrow and go to Bribe and see if I can find some Rhads. Did anyone manage to pick a pot up at all for pond conversion ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
