We would have the sides high enough to have several inches of soil. Would the plants freeze too much in the winter.? Could they have straw or plastic wraped arpund the bottom and protect them enough./ We thought we could use wooden cattle feed troughts or bunks. We are short on space and thought we could put these in areas that we can't till. The watering wouldn't be a problem.Do you know where this type of thing is being used? Thanks.
