Re: Trough?

From: "Beth Arnold" <seabeth@heart.net>

Well believe it or not the word comes from livestock watering containers
which were found and coveted for growing alpines, hence the name linked with
alpine gardening.   There is a site, maybe someone can post the address as I
do not know it at this moment, that explains trough culture very well
indeed.

My explanation: it is a homemade container made of cement/peat/sand, or
vermiculite and molded into a container suitable for growing alpines which
is most attractive for displaying same.  Very good for those small subjects
and composing mini landscapes.

I have been doing this for a number of years and find it very rewarding.
