Grow Herbs in a Repurposed Wooden Crate Garden
✅ The Hack
Use an old wooden crate (like a fruit or wine crate) as a compact, rustic planter for herbs such as basil, thyme, parsley, or mint. Line it with burlap or landscape fabric, fill with potting soil, and arrange your herbs for a charming mini garden.
🌱 Why It Works
Great for balconies, patios, or windowsills.
Easy to move for optimal sun exposure.
Rustic aesthetic doubles as decor.

🍓 2️⃣ Strawberry Tower from Recycled Buckets
✅ The Hack
Stack a few recycled plastic buckets (or large plant pots) with holes cut in the sides. Fill with soil and plant strawberry seedlings through the holes as well as at the top. This tower design saves space and produces lots of fruit!
🌱 Why It Works
Vertical growth maximizes harvest in small areas.
Keeps fruit off the ground — cleaner and less pest-prone.
Reuses materials that might otherwise be waste.
