Hi again,
recently I broke my toilet tank hand wash basin,not too much but still very visible and ugly,I contacted Maker for replacement just to find out that making of this model was discontinued about 15 years ago.Since whole thing is still perfectly usable i decided to mask the damages by placing a fake Ivy vine over it.But after couple of minutes it comes to me that this could be used as small hydroponic garden with the real plants such as pothos or any other water tolerant plants.Toilet itself is one of the brightest places in the shop so there is no light deficiency.It took me about 15 minutes to finish the whole project with almost no cost,all of the stuff and tools i already had.If you have to buy everything it would cost about 10 bucks.
