Tree stump planter

We've got this stump in our front yard. It's partially hollow, and always spends the spring and summer incredibly full of Black Widow spiders. Last year we tried building a little trellis on top and growing beans up it. It was nicer looking, but only made the spider problem worse.

I fixed it yesterday though! Just a couple of boards affixed into the gap in the side with copper coated hanger strap, and then a few bucketfuls of dirt.

Then I ringed the top in rocks, which I varied the size of to level off the top.

Bam! Now what was a poisonous spider high-rise is now a very nice looking planter.
