Ellen Peavey said… I really like your idea of the trough planters with the straw bale. Did you cut the bale in half before putting it in the trough? What did you plant in each one? Did you use plants already mature? Did you make holes in the bottom of the trough? Thanks Ellen from Georgia I made a compost bins out of mine

I've planted mostly edible flowering starter plants and herbs that can handle some shade, a variegated lettuce and a tomato plant in the sunniest spot. There is a drain plug on the bottom of the through but draining has not been necessary.
