Thinking of purchasing a couple troths and raising off ground with block. Is this a good idea for fruit trees and veg?
Horse troughs, depending on the depth are better for trees than for plants. Just make sure to make plenty of drainage holes.Thinking of purchasing a couple troths and raising off ground with block. Is this a good idea for fruit trees and veg?
2 feet deep is rather deep for plants and flowers. They will grow fine but it seems such a volume of soil for plants that don't have that deep of a root system is somewhat of a waste of good soil.These are 2'+2'+6'. Our backyard is all concrete and We're thinking this would be great for small tree and various wild flowers or veg and fruit plants. Also available in 4' and they can be painted and or stenciled. With the price of lumber this has to be less expensive than building raised beds.
Would work well for a lemon or lime for quite a few years.No Sir. These are galvanized troughs. We're in socal so these should work fine for a dwarf tree or tomato plants and such. Maybe some wildflowers around tree for bees and color.
Yes, its safeNow we're on the same track. Only thing I wonder is if it's safe to grow in. I'm guessing if livestock can water from it it's safe.
