New life for sand filter! Recycle and Reuse!

[Geojaneo]

Our sand filter developed a pinhole leak last year and TFP educated me that it was no longer safe to use. I despise throwing our solar covers to the landfill every few years and found a friend who will reuse to cover old farm/junk he collects. So after some thought, got the hubby to cut the sand filter in half, drilled some holes, and voila -my tomatoe plants have a new home and are thriving! Now planning another planting for the top half!

Well done you!! We're growing potatoes is a half barrel, and all our tomatoes are volunteers that sprouted up from the compost pile. They're incredibly fruitful this year! I hope your sand filter repurposing is as fruitful as ours.
