I love that you repurposed the salad containers! A great idea I will use.

These are great ideas — but still a lot of work for gardening-challenged folks. Personally, I love the EarthBox. You buy it once and reuse it year after year. Initial investment is about $35-$60, depending on whether you buy the basic box or the full kit. You can set it up in 20-30 minutes. It has a special water reservoir and fertilizer, so all you do is add water when needed and harvest!

It has a sort of “shower cap” cover, so NO WEEDING! Uses less water and produces huge amounts of vegetables or whatever you plant. Just a few Earth Boxes can provide a lot of produce on a deck, balcony or yard with good sunlight. Definitely worth a try.

You alluded to this with the raised beds, but I’ve had groundhogs and rabbits living in my yard or my neighbors yards (and they like to visit mine), but the raised beds keep them out of my tomatoes, cukes, etc. Won’t work with deer, but for those short to the ground animals, it keeps them away from the goods. (I learned this from the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society back when I was a member) Also, for the best tasting tomatoes, I UNDER-water them, almost to the point of only watering when they are drooping from thirst. Makes for very flavorful fruit!
