Cob: cob planters

Thu Apr 5 14:34:34 CDT 2001

Hi, 
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? 

Thanks much,
Rebecca
