One of our customers had a dilemma - he wanted to grow tomatoes but he had only four hours of sun on one side of his house and four on the other. Tomatoes need at least six hours of direct sun to produce. So we took an old shopping cart, set two five gallon buckets (with drainage holes drilled in the bottom) inside it, hung two from each side and one from the front. Filled with good quality potting soil and planted with tomato starts, he could now grow seven tomato plants by moving the cart from one side in the morning to the other side in the afternoon.
Putting your container garden on wheels - on a wagon or a cart - means that in the mountains you can wheel your plants out during the day and inside at night. The threats of hail or a sudden freeze? Run ‘em inside. Nice spring day? Run ‘em out.
