Fareham Wine Cellar’s Herb Toilet Planter

We happened to have a spare toilet hanging around and some spare herbs. So, naturally, we came up with the concept of the Herb Toilet Planter. We acquired it when our neighbours had their bathroom done. What better way to recycle and repurpose?

Unfortunately, we lost the cistern over the winter when it got full of water which froze thereby cracking the cistern, otherwise, that would have made a great two-tier planter. But, it is no good blaming the cistern.

Our planter is planted with Chives at the moment and certainly provides a talking point at backyard wine tastings.

Make your own Herb Toilet Planter

If you want to make a Herb Toilet, all you really need to do is block the toilet off somehow, we used an old sieve, fill it full of compost, plant your herbs, water and you’re away. So now we have fresh herbs any time we want, very useful on the odd Saturday when it is sunny enough to have a barbeque.

Any other Herb Toilets out there? If there are please let me know, or even send me a photograph!

There are weeds in the other one!
