This is our first garden and we have an excess of milk crates so we are trying them out as containers using weed barrier to hold the soil in.

Anyone done anything like this before?

Bonus pictures of the rest of our little garden.

    Has great drainage, can’t be any worse than the plastic in other planters.

    Love it, super resourceful! May dry out extra fast due to all the drainage though so more watering on hot weeks

    I have a few crates that I recently found in storage that I cant wait to use – looks great!

  4. I did this for years and only stopped because my wife didn’t like the aesthetic. Probably some of my most successful gardening in those babies.

  5. Some of the best tomato plants I’ve grown have been in milk crates with weed mats. They love a good soak, but like to dry out in between waterings, so it was perfect. Good luck to ya!
