I haven't had any luck so I asked Erika where she got hers and she said to try a local feed store. So I stopped by a feed store while I was out running some errands Saturday and they didn't have any but told me to ask someone who worked there. Well he was helping another customer so I hung around and finally had to leave because I couldn't stand the smell [I'm the weirdo that has a huge aversion to smells]. Have you guys ever been in a feed store? OMG I seriously had no idea that large animal food was so smelly.
So I'm back at square one but I really want a couple of these, aren't they gorge? I think they would look so pretty mixed in with the trough.
Do you think I should give up on the trough and just run to Home Depot or call every stinky feed store in town?
love them. i just started tackling our garden... and let me start by saying i have a black thumb. honestly i can kill plants by just looking at them. but I'm hopeful, and trying again. so far so good, but i've not had proper time to go wrong yet;-) love the mix of rough and pretty. my stuff comes out like that anyway, so might as well try and make it intentional!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a Sutherlands in your area? I'm not sure if they are just a midwest thing or not but they actually had some troughs just like that in their latest ad...
ReplyDeleteWe bought 2 of these large troughs last summer for our veggies - we have a teeeeny garden so this was our only hope for fresh veggies. We found ours at the local hardware store, just like Home Depot but smaller, they were about $100 each, but they do look amazing all in bloom.
ReplyDeleteGo for the trough! Great look!!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple smaller metal planter/troughs. The heat up & the soil heats up, so I lined them with thick layers of newspaper.
Great post!!
I would talk to someone that handles livestock and horse feed. They should have them. Our local feed store keeps stock of them.
ReplyDeletegreat blog site here, I actually have a galvanized vase you might like for indoors or out at HG.
ReplyDeletestart calling sista! Awesome things are worth the extra effort - stinky smells and all!
ReplyDeleteI want one, too!! Atwoods has them and so does Tractor Supply Company. I love that Smith and Hawkin one!
ReplyDeleteLove them too. I had to laugh about the smells, I have an aversion too....Let us know if you find anything!
ReplyDeleteHi, Love the look. The planter in the bottom photo can be found at Anthropologie. They had a bunch on display at the store...I didn't see them online though.
