I am slowly working on creating a. Permaculture garden/ food Forest sort of thing and got these large clay drainage pipe sections for free but I’m not sure what would go well planting in them if I’m using them as stationary planters / small raised gardens, looking for perennial edibles preferably, but honestly any and all recommendations are welcome.

I will basically just be filling them with dirt and planting stuff on top. Nothing detailed like filling them with different types of dirt or mulch or stone. Literally just dirt shoveled out of the ground.

Shovel for scale.

    Sure it does, some like their roots drier or wetter, some have tap roots that might reach all the way down this tube to soil underneath, others are fibrous

    Cat mint would grow in this just fine but it’s not edible, alternatively I doubt raspberries would like this much though. But my overall range of knowledge is limited. There are hundreds of species with unique growing conditions and while I could probably come up with a few that would grow in these I am asking because maybe there are others I wouldn’t think of or don’t know about.
