Milk That Space

Do you live in an apartment on the fourth floor? Do you want to grow your own vegetables and herbs? Don't worry! You can do it and you don't have to break the bank. All it takes is two old milk crates and some dirt and you are ready to get started.

The basic unit is two milk crates, one on top of the other. Circulation is provided by the bottom crate and the top crate is your "crop land."

You can put the stack any place that's convenient.

   You can put them in the kitchen. 

   You can put them on a chair. 

   You can put them in the garage.

   You can put them in the open air.

   You can put them on the roof.

   You can put them anywhere.

(I just had a Dr. Seuss moment.) 

Just about everyone has some kind of "milk crate like" storage unit. In college they were used to conveniently store all the expensive textbooks you had to buy and never read. Most big box stores have a supply of stackable that fits the general description of a milk crate. 

One of the coolest things about this set up is you can move the garden where ever it needs to be, or you need it to be. You can grow year round with your milk crate garden.
