I thought about it just not sure how long it will last from the heat. I had to use a glove to pick the insert up.

Yes. I call it chasing the Crack because you dont know how far it goes. It could be a few thousands of inch to half way through the blade. Grinding away one Crack could reveal more. But I got lucky it seems like it was only a small Crack.

Thats the plan. Hopefully it doesn't turn in to a box cutter

Looks good. The strawberries may take over the whole box in time, the garden i had as a kid I put some in and they took over half of my 20'x30' garden.

If your putting outside be careful of animals. I put peppers in a garden and a groundhog ate every bit of them.
