Cardboard gardening

5. I am not sure how the containers will work either, but

I am going to try it. The article does suggest that this is not for the gardener who wants everything to look perfect, because the boxes will not stay pretty. But it also suggests that if you line the box with a plastic bag, the box will hold up longer. I am going to try this without lining though. All I know is that large containers, even the cheap ones, are not really cheap. I like the idea that the whole thing can be thrown in the compost at the end of the season.

I'll let you know how it works, and I will have a plan to move the plants into a bigger box if they don't hold up for the summer.
