Like DD said, ideal for carrots, but when I used our old bath for carrots, I still put some mesh around on the inside of the bath, because I don't trust carrot fly at all!

Or, you could sink it into the ground, and make a pond, or fill it with ericaceous compost and grow blueberries in it

Guy with the end plot at our allotments has 'extended' by putting a row of baths along the edge. He has strawberries, broad beans, rhubarb and a variety of herbs.

I've seen one used as a herb garden and it looked really pretty.

+1 for fish pond if council will allow. How about frogs?

I may be getting a new water butt, and hope to use the old bath as a nettle soaker, to get some good liquid feed going.
(It's just started to rain here...
Hellfire, what's that...)
