I use old bookcases that are falling apart. Take off the back, screw in the shelves for support, place it on its back, fill and plant. Makes a great raised bed with no waste! The shelves make perfect dividers for different crops, or to let my children have as their personal garden space!

I use old Styrofoam boxes for my garden beds, the kind that Broccoli and fish go to the supermarket in. I pull them out of the bin behind the shop so they’re free, and I put holes in the side to make ‘wicking’ beds, but you could put them in the bottom to make a more traditional pot if you prefer. I also used them to make worm farms and I’m going to make a ‘soldier-fly larvae colector’ out of one next week (I’m in Australia, so SFL are a great way to get food for ducks, chicken and fish).
My boxes are super strong, and I can move them where ever I want.
