I've marked off a couple of rectangles in the garden.  I'm digging down, 
o.k., o.k., DH and Son #3 are digging, I'm supervising <g>, about 18".  I'm 
setting old fridges and freezers in two rows in each rectangle.  Now, around 
the edges I've pounded rebar and put 2x12"s around it.  Then I bend cattle 
panels between the two sides to make the hoop.  Over the top the usual 
plastic.

The freezers are insulated, so the dirt doesn't get all the cold and doesn't 
freeze.  I'm hanging grow lights in two rows over the two rows of freezers.

I've used them outside and they grow BIG veggies and lots of them!  I filled 
two paper bags with jaleapeno peppers out of the small freezer.  6 plants. 
I love my freezers <g>
