Container and Recycled Gardens

Container Gardening
Live in an apartment, condo, or only have a small space that gets a decent amount of sun? Don't fret, use containers! All the big box stores, and your local garden shops sell great potting mixes, soil amendments, garden soil to put in them, so get crackin'! Here are some of the best ideas I've seen lately...
The Earth Box

Recycled Materials
At school recently, we made great strawberry barrels from old plastic barrels. Personally, I would use wood, but do the best you can with what you have available.
Barrels
Here is a great site for barrel ideas, http://homesteadbloggersnetwork.com/repurposed-whiskey-barrels-for-strawberry-plants/

 Gutters  - What a great idea for those sunny spots in a corner somewhere. No ground space needed!     Using walls as a growing space will also be a great heat sink, too.

Tires - I love the idea of reusing tires for planters.  This also conserves water and is a form of stack gardening. Apparently they are only toxic when burned, so check it out...

This below has lots of great ideas, as well. The possibilities are endless....
