Re: Mailbox

Nora, 
Our little mailbox is fastened with hardware to a post.  The other end is
sunk into a 5 gal bucket half filled w/ cement.  We sink the bucket as far
as possible in the garden in spring and top off with soil and little
annuals.  Then cover with mulch.  We take it home in winter.  
Kitty
