Re: The Great Garden Show / Troughs

Hello Walter,
    We attended a class on constructing hypertuffa troughs about a year ago
at the Hosta College. This past month we made a trip up to Indianapolis to
take lessons on traditional trough making more along the lines of concrete.
We have been saving various articles from gardening magazines over the past
3 or 4 years and have a nice folder of those, along with the book. This week
we hope to get out and locate our supplies and make up or locate various
forms. Our intention is to make up several over the next week or two to cure
this winter.
    JoAn has sever of various sizes in her garden purchased over the past
couple of years in full sun. I now have several along the paths in my shade
garden and I am looking to have more. Then I can become truly interested in
all those miniature plants for shade......
