I rinse them out, punch holes in the bottom, and fill them with potting soil. It lets me raise some crops WAY off the ground. I stock milk crates as a platform. It has completely eliminated my issues with critters eating my lettuce - I didn't even see a slug hole! So far, I have used them for lettuce, spinach, and mustard greens. I am about to start a second round of more heat-tolerant greens - trying romaine and a broccoli from purchased starts. If you click "fish box" in my topic list, there is more discussion of them. I am planning to cover the boxes with a clear plastic lid this fall, to try them out as little coldframes. Some people harvest spinach, kale, and chard all winter, I hear.Matriarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11626790347402266263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573115152567675253.post-64985755921822017372008-06-11T17:54:00.000-04:002008-06-11T17:54:00.000-04:00What is a fish box?I am enjoying your blog.
