Raised Container Garden
Solid wood containers provide great water retention, but old crates or twig-constructed containers, like this one, need to be lined with a water-resistant material before filling with soil. Burlap gives an eye-pleasing, rustic appearance, but line it with plastic to help it last through the growing season. Remember to puncture the bottom of your plastic liner with a few drainage holes.
