if the air is hot there.. and with your metal containers.. it will soon have the soil temps the same as the air.. metal is like that.. adrip system will help somewhat there.. a layer of thin foam lining the inside of the metal will also help even strips that will allow drainage..andstill keep the dirt away from the metal.. most of it is shielded by the wood.. but it sticks up above and below that. so the sun will shine right on the metal.. what's your car hood like 1:30 pm July 14th.
