Vegetable Gardens on Wheels: Food Map Containers

We saw these garden tubs on wheels over at AT:Chicago yesterday and thought you all might enjoy seeing them too. This is a very clever idea, and after all the years we've spent dragging huge pots back and forth on our porch, we're wondering why these didn't come along sooner. More photos and purchase info below...

The wheeled Food Map Containers are made by a young design firm in Santa Monica, and they manufacture their products right there in Los Angeles out of recycled materials that are themselves recyclable. Their mission is to help people become less dependent on grocery store food and grow more at home.

We love the built-in drainage system and the wheels that let them be moved around easily.

• Buy here - The two models are $205-$215 each.

I agree with the pricey part! It seems like the cost of some of the gardening stuff out there defeats at least half the purpose of growing your own. I was looking through one of my gardening catalogs the other day and was stunned at how much even the tomato cages cost!
