I have one under my downspout just off the patio, because the trap collects dirt. Crocuses, and heuchera are up. The columbine got frostbitten so I don't know if it'll regrow. In summer I plant things like blue lobelia and other water-loving annuals. The whole thing is probably less than 2 feet per side, but it's pretty, and it discourages overflow from rain.

They are also useful in private yards or farms for similar purposes.
