What would you do with your old cistern from your loft?

Well this is what I did with one from a clients house. It had been sitting idle in his garden since it had been replaced so I took all the fittings out, put gravel in the bottom for drainage, filled it with compost and here's the result 3 months later. The watering can at the front sits underneath the the remains of a water pipe and catches any excess water which I then pour back into the the tub - recycling at its best LOL. The lobelia hangs down really nicely as it stands about 2' off the ground on a handmade wooded table.
