Stock tank ?

[yoter]

I have access to a large oval galvanized stock tank.

Any ideas as to what to use it for with gardening

Could i make a huge raised bed?

If it holds water, I'd use it for rainwater catchment, and watering purposes. If it leaks and isn't repairable, I'd make a raised bed out of it. Or use it to raise baby chicks.

I catch rain water off my roof for watering my garden in the drought months. It does double duty keeping a large supply of minnows for fishing and keeping the mosquitos down.

Some good advise ;D Also above, keeping live minnows for bait

Depending on your place......

Build a frame out of 4x4's to elevate the tank. Add a spigot to the side of the tank or thread one into the drain fitting. Pipe your gutter into the tank. You now have an excellent supply of rain water for your garden. Gravity fed for watering your plants.

Throw a bunch of beer in it, cover it with ice and have a Swamp party!
