I used the carpet tubes to make the 'garden'. Unfortunateley, when they were saturated they turned into a soggy, mushy mess with no structure whatsoever. They didn't hold together with the two straps shown on the picture and the middle section 'flowed' out in all directions.. We shovelled the mess up and used it as compost for the veg. garden.

I particularly like the one using the sewage for the bench - though I don't know how many people would want to sit on it if they knew how it was heated - ignorance is bliss!
