Yep the bottom of a plastic 55 gallon drum...the other end has a flange and holes which is the formal end of the drum.

Red color is natural...yews look very similar to a juni when old bark is peeled.

go to any restaurant at 3 or 4 pm and ask for their styrofoam boxes. they are perfect, with 3 drain holes on all four sides. alot of nurseries use them for growing stock to matures faster. perfect and free :D

I don't go to the restaurants at that time of morning... bunce's idea is a good one that I use. Instead of the restaurant I go to the grocery store to get the same....and as bunce said "FREE"
