I have a couple sources of cheap, one-use poly barrels. I will be making the following out the barrels:

Rain barrel

The rain barrels are made from 55 gallon plastic barrels. I'm following these instructions https://www.instructables.com/How-to-make-a-rain-barrel-1

If everything goes correctly and to plan, it takes about 15 minutes to make. The cost for the workshop is $40 for members, $50 for non-members.

Compost barrel

A 55 gallon poly barrel is used to make the rolling compost barrel. More info to come.

Barrel planter

I will be using 30 gallon poly barrels to make the plant towers. I'm really excited to make these and hope they become a hit due to the amount of plants you can fit into a small space. More info to come.
