1. Repurposed Plastic Crates
Instead of growing your vegetables, herbs, and flowers in expensive flower pots, you can grow them in stackable, repurposed plastic crates. The humble plastic crate allows you to grow your produce in a small yet neat space. It also allows you to unleash your creativity when designing possible variations when arranging your produce when it flourishes.
You can either stack your planted crates on their edges, checkerboard-style or make a living wall of containers. Another popular option is that instead of planting your crops in the open space of each crate, you can make hanging planters out of these crates by attaching s-hooks to the top edge of the crates. With this method, you can double up these crates for storage, and can also use them to organize your plant babies — your imagination is the only limit.
