That would cost quite a bit unless you can find some reclaimed wood. Built one for my
MIL. Top height was about table height. I think it was only 3x10. 18" or so for soil. Just
a big bin but needs to be strong. Not cheap. Then she moved. grrr

Milk crate gardens are all over NewYorkCity. Mostly in vacant lots that can easily
be moved to another location once building begins on the lot. Landowners don't mind
as it is temporary.

The bottom crates are empty. Top crate is lined with fabric bags. Or just landscape
fabric. The crates are not cheap unless you can find a company getting rid of some of
their rattier ones. Thats how I got mine.

A couple towers is a good idea. I don't grow strawberries anymore. To many critters.
But when we did I built a 2x10 board tower to save garden space.
