Honest to god, my brother works in locksmithing. I moved states and needed to get a copy of the old house key to my realtor ASAP and did not want to travel or mail it - took a picture for my brother and he was able to make a working key with just the photo.

I usually put a smaller container with drainage holes into pots like these. Enjoy the decorative look without worrying about root rot.

I use mine for pickles, maraschino cherries, Vienna sausages, etc.
