Entryway that was really fun to plan and build, luckily my mom volunteered to stain it.

The Rural re-use of things version of that is stacking old tires :v:

Add new tire on top, fill with dirt.

Bonus of just pulling them apart to harvest. I always hated plowing + picking potatoes.

I tried that for a few years and I'm pretty sure that the sun on the black rubber cooked them to death :(

I've just about finished building my planter box. No ordinary planter, this is a wicking bed design - Basically there is a big tank of water at the bottom, which will slowly seep up into the soil to water the plants. Refill through the pipe occasionally as needed, and no more wilty crops. This is a bit of a prototype, if it works well I may build submerged varieties in other garden beds that I have.

These work very well. I built two of them that are about 4' by 16' in my backyard, and and my tomato plants make everyone else's look like an idiot.

Mine are made from 6x6 timbers and just sit on the ground, but you can have them go below ground if you want. I didn't because I also use them as dog traffic management and I don't like kneeling to to the gardening.
