Water Gardening: A small trough I made, 1 by Dinu

While the construction work was on and 'bar benders' [as we call them here], I got the steel frame and mesh ready. I thought I'd make my own work. I did and I am happy the way it came out. It rained when I was giving finishing touches but had to stop then and there unable to move it in and work as it was still wet. I intend to use this as a container for some small water plants. Does this hold good for my intended purpose? I had initially planned it to be a bird bath, but my wrong calculations proved it was too deep for it. Hence this new idea. It is about 2 ft. x 18 inches x 8 inches.
