Have I gone overboard on Recycling/Reuse?

Here's a picture of my herb garden! Fresh herbs always make food taste better and the herbs can be dried for storage. Have you priced the cost of herbs lately?. I recycled/reused a leaky bathroom fixture as a herb pot (tank and bowl are both full of soil and seeds). It wasn't good for it's original purpose any longer and why toss it in a landfill when I found another use for it! Plus it makes a great yard ornament and conversation piece.

Some folks think I've gone overboard, but HEY! This thing in a landfill was going to be filled with soil anyway right?:D

NOT Southern, Ca. :)
I saw a toilet used to anchor a mil box before. I have a cast iron tub in my yard. It's where my girls plant their flower seeds every year.:thumbsup

We are currently buying a home for my FIL to live in. I knew I wanted it because they used things like an old tub and even old boots in their landscaping design. My kind of people! ;)

I've seen folks use bathtubs as watering troff for live stock.

Flower pots are a good use for them too!

Maybe someone could use the whole bathroom suite outside. Bathtub, sink, toilet. That would be pretty. :p
