Q:Whats the best approach to convert an an antique washer into a planter? My familys rehabbing 30 gorgeous acres in the Ozarks. We keep finding unusual items. A recent discovery was an old 3-legged washing machine. I thought it might make an interesting, kitsch flower or veg planter. Its form is similar to the one in the pic. No external wringer, though. This one actually has an agitator in it!http://www.basildon.gov.uk/80256B88003243A0/vWeb/flDBUS5Q5FNB/$file/1+antique+washing+machine+69x96.jpgThe biggest challenge is that drainage holes are necessary for this to work as a planter. Any ideas on how to remove the agitator, or should I work around it and hope I dont hurt myself in the process? Thanks in advance!

A:I would try to remove the agitator, try turning it counter clock-wise or look for a screw cap on the top.As for the drainage, you could drill holes through the bottom, up into the tub. Line the inside of the tub with large rocks, then smaller rocks and charcoal, then dirt or fill halfway full with packing peanuts, a screen, charcoal, then dirt.I think it will make a fantastic planter, whichever method you choose!
