Default Wheelbarrows as planters

I have no less than a dozen wheelbarrows, some worth $2, and some in very
good condition that could be used for heavy lifting. Thing is, we usually
don't pass up any under $5.

SWMBO wants some planters made for spring. I think I know to use a rock
base for drainage, some potting soil mixed with amendments, a little
fertilizers, etc.

I was just wondering how many had made sculptures of any of these, or
stacked them in any way. Some may be hung at all angles. Some will be
repainted, new wood, varnish, shiny finish, and some will stay looking old,
or made to look old. Googled it, but didn't find a lot of anything that
caught my attention.

Got welding and metal stuff, so can make stands easily, just looking for
overall visualizations, perhaps actual projects.
