In a small garden, space is always at a premium so here is how I have  a simple idea to maximising the space.

I did this project before even seeing this! RV stores receive most of their shipments in wooden boxes about this size and shape. Simply cut a hole in the side to let the water drain out, and add legs. In my case, I used milk boxes I got from the local convenience store, and stapled a heavy duty garbage bag to the bottom of the box, and a bucket under the hole. This is actually my indoor seed starting table.

 This is a great idea and perfect for ppl with bad backs as well as a space multiplyer. Am I right in assuming the plastic is to make it easier to water all the containers?

 The plastic is to keep some moisture under the plants esp in hot dry weather and to reduce water run off and therefore waste
