Just wanted to post this photo for anyone who needs ideas on how to plant vegetable gardens at waist level.

I have three of these 200 gallon containers that were used to ship large palms to a construction site.

Obviously you would have to get someone to set them up and fill with growing medium - and it does take a lot!! However I did fill the bottom half with bulky styrofoam from computer packing boxes, the plants don't need dirt all of the way to the bottom.

Currently planted:

collards, onions, sweet peas, two kinds of chives, strawberries, asparagus, snap beans

DH is building a screen 'cap' for the one planted with strawberries to keep the birds out
