Miniature Wicking Beds from Wine Boxes
If you have limited space or simply want to upcycle your old wine boxes, you can create these miniature wicking beds. This is also a fantastic option for keeping your vegetables separated, but make sure that you do not plant anything that needs a lot more room to grow. This could be the perfect solution for spices and other herbs.
