Growing in Crates - Veggie - 03-09-2022
[attachment=5261]
I've acquired about 12 of these crates (green ones) and I have a vague plan on how to use them.
First, I'd like to know what you would use them for - then I'll tell you my idea.

I have a few, I use them to hold pots of seedlings - It means I can move lots about easily. Fab for hardening off in the Spring... leaving out with fleece over.

I line the sides with empty compost bags and use them to grow things in.
I use a couple as laundry baskets at work.

I have four or five of these and I stack empty pots of the same size and lay them down in these crates, then stack them on top of each other. Works great, because I don't need to use shelves for them in the shed

I would fill each one with logs stacked on top of each other close to my back door with a cover over top one. It would then be a simple matter of picking a crate of logs up and taking it indoors for that days burning.

I think I would use them as storage in the potty shed. I expect you're going to stack them somehow and plant trailing things in them.

I use them for ferrying peppers and tomatoes to and from the greenhouse during April and May.

Storing apples,
Growing lettuce,
Shopping crate in the car boot

Crikey! They cost about twenty quid each. Where have they been liberated from?
