Since my budget is really tight this month, I've been looking around the yard and in my downstairs neighbor's yard (she has everything in her little patio area), I came across these curbside recycling bins from the city. Do you think it would be okay to use those for containers to plant vegetables in?? If I drilled in a few more holes and cleaned them up real nice like.

And my other question is: I have these totes from, well I'm just not going to name the place where I got them from. I don't want anyone to get in trouble. Lol!! I have these totes, they have tons of little holes on the bottom and they are spacious and roomy, low to the ground. Worth trying in a container garden or would those holes leak out all the dirt??? (I've included a picture of the tote.)
