I meant to line the box with it but termites being a thing there, maybe straw so that there is less problem with soil contact with the metal. That's what I was thinking about,

I used straw for all kinds of utilitarian purposes in the garden last year and I was hppy with the results. It works as insulation and coverage for weed control, cover seedbeds for warmth while germinating, that sort of thing.

You'll figure it out.
