Market Farming

["Margaret L Wilson" <booldawgs AT cavenet.com>]

Matt, when I gardened in the desert (Coachella Valley)  I used old wooden 
date/grapefruit packing boxes.  I bought them fairly cheap as the growers 
replaced them with new plastic or new wooden ones.  They are about 4 x 4 and 
about 3 ft deep.  I liked them enough that I moved them to Oregon where I 
still use them.  Some were battered up so much that they were free.  They are 
all still usable after about 6 years.  They are pretty indestructible.  I 
still use some of them as hay feeders for cows and horses.  Right now I have 
asparagus and garlic growing in them.  I have grown tomatoes, peppers, 
cucumbers,basil and flowers in them.  Row covers and frost blankets are easy 
to toss on.  I am planning to use them for salad growing in a long hoop house 
next. Plastic in the winter, shade cloth in the summer.

So, in the interest of peace, will you help me with this?

Thanks, folks!
