styrofoam
I'm just curious... I have a couple large styrofoam containers, a bit
larger than the throw-away ice chests you can get for cheap. Any idea how these would hold up for a one-season planter, if I drill some holes for drainage? Is there anything that would leach into the soil and cause problems? |

styrofoam
No problems at all. I've been raising seed in them for years. Polystyrene is
quite inert. "belly" wrote in message k.net... I'm just curious... I have a couple large styrofoam containers, a bit larger than the throw-away ice chests you can get for cheap.

Just be sure you position these *before* you fill with dirt. They're not very sturdy. |
