Easy DIY Home Decor Crafts: Birdbaths Aren't Just For Birds Anymore

I was getting a little tired of the endless cycle of filling my birdbath up, watching the birds splash around in it, the water turning fifty shades of grey green, me washing the disgusting gunk out of it (worms, poop, slime) and starting the whole process over again. So last summer I decided to turn it into a planter instead.
It's nothing permanent. I just used the bottom of a clay pot (the thing that catches the excess water) to hold the plants and it could be moved at any time that I wanted to water the birds again.
Edited to add 2/20/14 - Since I get so many people thinking I'm a bird hater or something, I'd like to add that there is plenty of water for them to splash in all around my yard. A pond is roughly fifty feet from that birdbath (which I turned back into a birdbath the next year) and there is also a huge body of water less than a city block from here. The birds are fine and thriving and currently eating me out of birdseed. I appreciate your concern for the birds, but no birds were harmed in the least :)
