Will it work?
 
Running out of room in my backyard and wifey wants to plant a garden. Thinking about a feed trough with drain holes drilled in bottom and fill with soil. Can move with 4 wheeler or lawn mower and drag to curb when her gardening itch is over. 27"x10'x18"

do like I told my wife....If you plant ,seed , buy or what ever you add to the yard is your's .....

Im over all weeds !!! So if my weeds get in your flowers, plants, etc... Remember I kill weeds for fun!!


Have zero plants, gardens, flowers , bushes etc!! Just mow and round up!!! Love it

This shouldn't have weeds with new soil, she doesn't do weeds and i have roundup. But will it work? Need room for the chickens.

It should work just fine Ray. What does your wife want to plant?

Bumfisherman 04-07-2014 12:11 PM

I believe it would wok fine. If it doesn't, just patch the holes and you are done.

Maters, peppas, ag plant. How far between plants and how many for the ten FT length?

You would be better off and cheaper using 5 gallon buckets. 1 plant per bucket

Get a bigger yard so you can plant a garden away from the other stuff

Ray you may run into trouble with tall plants(maters) that need support. Its not gona be deep enough for you to stake them solidly. Can always run some heavy wire around the outside to support the plants though.

I'm thinking about securing cages through the bottom, drill holes and wrap end of cages (twist). Not sure how thick that plastic is though.
