Tip: Can a Fresh Salad Bar Get Any Easier Than This?

I love this idea!!! Pure brilliant!

I love that you have access to wonderful, fresh veggies without having to bend over or kneel to get them. This is such a good idea for those of us who are no longer able to do the gardening that we love to do but can't because of physical restrictions.

FOR ME I WAS THINKING OF USING PLALETTS ON LEGS OR CEMENT

FANTASTIC thank you

did you put holes in the bottom of the trashcans for drainage?

Genius! I am looking to do something similar, you saved me a bunch of head scratching! Plus the dogs will not be tramping thru my edibles. I lost my bowl of french thyme to the chihuahua, she loves to lay in it in the summer because it is in one of the cooler spots in my very hot back yard in the summer. At least she smells pretty! Had to start more in another location for human consumption. ☺

wish i could come up with this same principle for an indoor salad bar. any thoughts??? anyone .... please feel free to share :) :) :)

This is amazing!!!!!

Thank you!

Great idea. I'm sure you get plenty of greens that way.

Love this for my spring in California

thanks ... anxiously waiting to see

Thanks Jeff. Ive done every gardening trick (I thought) Have done in ground backyard with all the normal problems, flower beds, raised cinder block areas, raised wood barriers, platform structures and this winter I bought a stack of new plastic trashcans at an auction, with plans to use them for my garden this next summer. I may incorporate them into my platform area because it is raised and 2 layers tall and would be easy to adjust.

I have been collecting some tall plastic soda bottles which I plan to cut off the bottoms and stick them into the soil so I can water through the bottle to feed the plants. The way my platform is set up the top layer will water the bottom layer also. Hope it works as I plan and looking forward to more fresh vine ripe tomatoes, peppers, etc again this year. I use basil in my garden to keep away the bugs and it works great plus my friends all like free basil (I hate... it except for the bug thing of course).

Thanks for sharing Lyn! Get some pics up here, we would love to see your garden ideas. I am always coming up with different ideas to make gardening easy. I hope to find the best idea and implement it in urban communities just to show that it is not as hard to do as it used to be.

What a great idea, I have a few pallets and I'm going to work on them today
