On the way to my plots the other day I discovered another spot, totally secure, close by, and I can do pretty much whatever I want with it. However, there's so many roots and vines in the ground I can't dig holes. So I gotta use containers. I want bigger than 5 gal buckets, more like 10.. The way I see it I can either build boxes out of wood- but then I'm in the woods with cordless tools, a whole production..oooorr.. I have a roll of trim metal(white), 3' WIDE X 100'. I could cut and roll up pieces, making tubes measuring 2' diameter x 3' tall. Sink those 6" or so in the ground and fill them with my soil.paint the outside and rim flat green, and I'm good , right? My question is: can I use painted metal as container?
it would be ok i would think as long as you dont paint the inside ,raised beds are an idea to !...i guess what your doing is kink of like the raised beds im thinking about
