Bath Tub Planter
The Bath Tub Planter is a standalone, galvanized horse trough bathtub-shaped deployable in RUST, used for growing plants. They are functionally the same as the Small Planter Box, which was most commonly associated with the Farming Update.

How to use a Bath Tub Planter
Functionally, they are three-plot raised garden beds that can grow up to three assorted seeds at a time. Plants will grow individually, with crossbreeding possible for those of similar type next to each other. The water retention capacity of this planter type is 3000ml.
They occupy considerably less real estate within a base than their Small Planter Box counterparts (they take up roughly half of a square foundation.)
Bath Tub Planters, although taller, are more space-friendly and commonly employed by base owners to grow just enough food for day-to-day operations. At most, you could fit 2 of these planters on a single square. Unlike the Small Planter Box, this planter cannot be used on Salvaged Shelves.
