Urban Gardening

We've heard a lot about dumpster pools lately but what dumpster gardens?
For the urban dweller, this is a great alternative to the rooftop garden. Plus, it's a perfect way to reuse and recycle an abandon container.

 
 

Has anyone seen these around their neighborhood? We would love to see photos from anyone who has tried this...
