Hi Bonnie, the original table had a top that was loose and unattached when I purchased it, so it made it easy to staple the wire the open bottom and form a basket of sorts to hold the landscape fabric and then the soil.

]]>Great idea!
]]>Hi Paula, what’s along the bottom of your lettuce table? It sounds as though the water isn’t draining well. I usually water daily in the summer because of the heat, it’s a shallower garden, and because the water drains quickly from the bottom.
]]>My table is about 3 feet long and about 4 inches deep. I can grow lettuces, spinach, and other greens. I could also grow herbs if I kept plants small. It’s not quite deep enough for root veggies. You’ll have to plant lettuce more than once to enjoy it in the spring and fall. When summer temperatures get too hot, it tends to bolt. Herbs you’ll be able to harvest throughout the spring, summer, and fall until they go to see. Keep pinching basil to prevent it from flowering.
]]>At that size, could you grow spinach, lettuce (2 or 3 types), arugula, radishes, parsley, and basil? (enough for 2 people)
Can you harvest the entire spring and fall growing season?
How many days between harvests?
