We have a 50 gallon one; it’s full of coal, right now. Left over from the ton we bought 2 winters ago; didn’t need it last winter or this one, either.

They are awesome as they don't rust .

All the feed stores around me carry them and most of the cattle farmers around me use them now .
I've gotten a few that were damaged in shipping for around $20 as the feed stores could not sell them and have been given another huge one .

They make great raised beds for me during the winter . I cut the bottoms out with a sawsall and add a wire bottom to them to keep the moles out . I only fill them about half way then make a top for them that I can cover with plastic when it gets cold . My greens , carrots and even a cherry tomato(had to lie it down ) survived frost a couple of times this winter growing in them .
