Thanks, yes I have discovered this already. That section of the decking is probably beyond repair already and I think it's probably paved underneath anyway, so current plan is to rip out that decking and replace the bucket section with a long, narrow planter.
Speaking of which, any recommendations for large planters that don't cost too much?

What materials, and how much is too much? I've got some Primrose galvanised steel box planters (1m x 40cm x 40cm) which I rather like and I thought were pretty reasonable.
They're these ones. Although I'm pretty sure they were a fair bit cheaper when I bought mine. Bloody Brexit.

Wanna quote for a new decking? In all honesty, decking is not the cheap solution it was, timber prices are up over 60% in the last year.

The best value are going to be random scores. A while back Ikea had a load of their stuff marked right down.
Modern faux lead planters look really good nowadays.
I think there's a UK brand that makes pots planters that my LGC sells. I might be going there today, so I'll see if I can grab the name.

If you do, use some kind of spacer to avoid the planter touching the decking. There's little that rots a decking as effectively as a continually damp planter or pot of any description.
