Hi,=20
We are planning on building a school grounds garden with large planters =
made from cob. We are thinking cob would be better than wood (for all =
the obvious reasons) but have no experience comparing it. We are in =
Alberta, so have all the weather extremes, from -40 C to +35C, rain, =
wind, snow etc. I think if we incorporate drainage holes into the bottom =
of the planter, water build up inside won't be too much of a problem. =
However, because much of the info out there is on houses, I'm not too =
sure.
Do you have any suggestions/ advice where to look?=20

Thanks much,
Rebecca
