what to do with waterlogged tubs?

tiredwithtwins

Hi,
wondered if anyone can advise me please?
i planted out 3 big tubs with soil and compost, planting meadow flower seeds in 2 and beetroot in the 3rd tub. i drilled holes into the bottom and put big chunks of polystyrene in the bottom to pad out the tub whilst providing some drainage. however, the holes i drilled are too small and have got blocked with the twigs etc from the compost, so im left with 3 huge tubs that are absolutely waterlogged from the heavy rain (and smell revolting!)
... they are literally 3 big tubs of smelly slopdosh!!!!

What can i do with them??? should i just tip it all on the compost heap and start again or is there some way i can salvage what ive got?

thank you :T:beer:

Drill some bigger holes low down in the sides?

Yes, can you drill some more holes.

Please don't put it on the compost heap, its not suitable, if its as wet and revolting as you say, plus the polystyrene will likely be there for ever.
