Birdbath
Original purpose: Cooling off blue jays and cardinals.
Aha! use: Serving as an attractive, low-maintenance pot for succulents. Plant shallow-rooted varieties in the container with soil.
The lack of drainage will keep the soil moist, so you’ll need to water even less frequently than usual.
Reward: A pretty display that isn’t just for the birds.
