Title: Kettle flower pot
Post by: Dc_smoke309 on April 27, 2020, 02:21:27 PM

Ok guys, the wife and I have been doing a lot of landscaping and flowers and such during the stay at home time we are all dealing with . I was joking with her about using one of my grills to throw some seeds in . She kinda rolled her eyes . And asked why I thought it that and I said there was some pictures on the WKC. I tried to find some but didn’t have any luck . If u guys have done this post some pictures so I can show my wife . She is actually filling my old faded 18” with dirt right now ....

I used a burnt out oul fire box from my Chargriller once for plants but never an intact Weber...That's just wrong.

I would like to do this to my one touch 18. How do you guys do the bottom?  Take the one touch out?  Then what?  Some sort of drainage media before the potting soil?

I used some aluminum flashing, I have a roll laying around. couple small holes in it for draining, small pebbles to hold down then dirt. it works but im sure there are more ways to accomplish the same thing

I have a beater black kettle I use as a planter.  Only one on my block, too!

Ok...I’m feeling a little uncomfortable with where this is going. I know we are all cooped up, but seriously?! Lol! What I want to see is one made into a vegetable pot on a cart.

Well I only have three kettles. They all get used. No way I'm loaning one out to flower gardening...
