They are similar but flatter and wider than milk crates. I thought that they would work well for seedlings at first then I thought that they could be an insert for a larger, custom built SIP. This is a great example of reusing common objects to grow food. Thanks for posting - hope all is well.Russ Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384846093877363348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-23224591241439682612011-10-26T19:13:25.601-05:002011-10-26T19:13:25.601-05:00The ones I saw were upright with a bunch of straw ...The ones I saw were upright with a bunch of straw stuffed in them.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12715698548155245090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3161424655689380473.post-80824346809651620562011-10-24T21:37:03.287-05:002011-10-24T21:37:03.287-05:00Around here we call them urban basketball hoops.
