Sounds like a great idea Linda.
I bought a large plastic storage box to be used as a bath for my 3 ducks. It
is about 18" by 24" and 1' deep. Being plastic, and smooth on the inside, it
is easy to tip out the water, and wash the container. (they have it dirty
again in 5 seconds flat)
I keep thinking this would be useful for mixing potting soil, particularly
if placed on a bench at working height. You could have a few different
containers, for different consistency soils, and have them on hand (under
cover of course).
