After renovation, thrifty owners do not always send the old cast iron bathtub to the dump, but leave it at the dacha.

Summer residents who love when everything is useful find a way to use an old bathtub on the site.

Water tank

Rainwater is considered more valuable for plants than water that flows through pipes. Therefore, summer residents place a bathtub under a drain, from which rainwater flows directly into it. The water will warm up under the sun and will be an excellent option for watering peppers or cucumbers with tomatoes.

Plant container

An old bathtub can be painted if necessary and turned into a huge vase for hydrangeas or roses. Thanks to its large volume, you can arrange a whole flower bed.

Fish pond

Another unconventional idea is to turn a bathtub into a fish pond. To do this, fill it with water, install a filter and populate it with fish. Some summer residents bury the bathtub in the ground to imitate a pond.

Garden shower

To turn an old bathtub into a garden shower, you need to install it on a stand, connect a hose and a shower head. Such a shower can be used for water procedures after working in the garden, or for cleaning garden tools, washing vegetables and fruits.
