I’m thinking of purchasing a metal raised bed for growing dahlias in fabric pots.
Does anybody have experience with metal beds? There’s so many brands, sizes, and colors. Do you have a favorite brand that has worked well for you?

It has been many years, but I grew in galvanized stock tanks- both flowers and some veggies- that you can get at a feed store. I put in a false bottom that raised the growing space and planted directly (no pots). Don't know if there was a brand. But they worked beautifully.

Think of it as a corral…

And they make an interesting point of focus. I got lots of appreciative comments with mine.

If they're going to be in pots, albeit fabric, why do you need the raised beds? The fabric pots lose water rather quickly. Placing them in an encompassing container that keeps them close together may help. |
