Just on its face a 44 gallon plastic planter makes no sense, you won't
be able to move it, it'll weigh ~300 lbs, be sure it's in the spot you
want it before you fill it. Most people who actually garden would
agree that it makes much more sense to use such a tub to contain
individual clay pots, makes it much easier to work the individual
plantings, and porous clay pots are far better than plastic. One of
those utilitatarian farm troughs in plastic is not very esthetic
anyway, used as a planter it's a waste of $40... and 44 gallons of
decent potting soil will cost more than $40, a lot more.
