Yes, make your own is the best thing, but I understand it can seem a little overwhelming at first. Nurseries that sell rock garden plants might also have trough. Cement/hypertufa ones will be far cheaper. Real stone is very expensive.
Troughs can be made of anything. A regular pot you like, wood(like a window box), even a cake pan or loaf pan(with drain holes drilled) and yes, even a kitchen sink.
Hi, I am new to this forum. I have been researching troughs because I want to start a couple of trough gardens. The site that I found that sells hypertufa troughs is www.farmbrookdesigns.com. They have a large selection. Lynn
