Pots work but watering is clumsy so isn't the ultimate answer; has anyone tried building a wood "earth box" type system out of untreated pallets? (Can get those and I don't expect them to last more than 2 years.) Or have a link as to how to do it? I would like something with a reservoir (stupid heavy plastic on the bottom) with a drain that lets excess water escape but with an easy waterer PVC pipe included and my searches are coming up empty.
