These were a very nice "find" in Plymouth, Utah. These are actually sections of an old grain elevator belt. We found this barn fallen down and this long belt laying in a concrete hole at the bottom. These old scoops connected to the heavy cloth belt would carry wheat from the hole in which it was dumped, up to the top of the grain barn and dump it in.
We took the 100' long belt, cut it into sections of 2-3 scoops, placed the grommet in the top of each section, and then drilled holes in the bottom for drainage.
These work great for a number of plants, but best for plants that thrive in dry conditions. They can dry out quickly due to the metal exterior and the shallower depth, but if you keep the plants watered each day, they perform great and provide a beautiful rustic look for your garden.
