can anyone tell me what to use & how to line a metal trough?
 

Hi,
I have 2 36 inch metal troughs (strips of metal bent into a trough
shape). they screw to the wall. Does anyone know what to use to line
them with.

I had a look at B&Q but they didnt have anything suitable.

p.s as well as growing plants in the top I also want to put plants
through the sides.

Thanks

Because the metal bars about 4 inches appart and so there is nothing
to hold the soil in place.
