I have a couple you could have. They're from Fleet Farm, less than ten years old, blue painted steel with a black 1/8" round poly bottom. We used them for cows before we got an automatic feeder. I have one or two in the Nerstrand area and at least one at my Dad's in Northfield.

leaves, place your trough so a rounded end points north. Also grow your tallest plants on that end and slope the size down to the shortest on the south. This allows for the least shade in the garden--at least shade produced by its own plantings.

I did a raised pottage garden, near the kitchen door, this year--great fun. In spite of the bed being newly developed in the lasagne style with new top soil, thetomatoes developed early blight, but have gone on to produce.

Of 7 tomato plants in a "square foot gardening plan,got heaviest production, best old fashioned sweet tomato flavor (for me) and largest size fruit from 'Big Boys'. I enjoyed the earlier 'Golden Girls' for their yellow contrast and the itty bitty 'Sweet 100s'- much like BB in flavor and tiny 'Yellow Pears'. The first being the best flavor of all cherry tomatoes for me, the pears are good and unique. All are still producing, except for 'Heritage' which never did.

'Burpless' cukes:from 4 plants on 6' trelliw-needed 8', enough for two of us and gave about four away-which was part of my plan.

Two summer squash from each huge plant which looked tacky from mildew almost immediately. 4 "Patty Pam" squash which shriveled up and died after one squash, it was one of four PP plants that survived that long.

Beautiful production of pretty red margined leaf lettuce, and chard. Radishes and miniature carrots were eaten to the ground before I realized I had bunnies and put up a fence.

Herbs: basil, lavendar, thyme, parsley and rosemary are doing great.
