I have some large pots with shrubs, trees, etc.

I would like to be able to stand them in a container of water so that
I can thoroughly soak them when required. Needs to be deep enough to
come a reasonable distance up the post so water is likely to soak in
quickly.

A yellow builders bucket is just too small; almost worked but then the
corner of a square pot split it.

One obvious option is a water tank designed for the loft.

Another would be a kiddie paddling pool.

Main requirement is for a pot which is 16"x16" (40 cm x 40 cm).

Any budget friendly suggestions, please?

TIA

I have one of these

It would be good for what you need.

Thanks - something for feeding large hungry animals should probably have
the capacity.

Now to find the nearest farm supplier.


Just noticed it is 41 cms wide so barely large enough.

I would prefer a bit of extra room.
