So my husband was able to pick up 4 long under ground piping. He is going to cut then long ways in to and put legs on them so I can enjoy my gardening more. I am just getting to up in age to do all that crawling around on the ground and pulling weeds. So I am excited . My neighbors as they got older built benches and started doing container gardening.
They seem to harvest alot more produce.

Now living in an apt. I do container gardening on the balcony. Have learned a lot about vertical gardening as well. Works great for herbs. It certainly is a way for us to enjoy gardening as we get older and the ol bones don't cooperate as much!
Dorinda, I think you will just love it! Enjoy!
Blessings,
Linda

My garden this year is 2 galvanized water troughs, a big round one, and a small oval, 2 tractor tires, a feed bunk that lost its' legs, a small plastic watering trough, a cast iron form for something, some cattle protein tubs, and a chunk of galvanized pipe about 18 inches across. That is so far. I have some busted up plastic tubs I want to get dirt into. So far it has been good. The weeds that have some up are very easty to pull, since I don't have to bend over or get on my knees. When the plants get bigger and shade the ground, the weed problem should be taken care of. I am watering by hand, may have to figure something else out later. Would love to see pictures of everyone's container gardens. Had our first radishes yesterday.

I like the idea of more produce.
