ok so here are things that i've done/plan to do for my gardening. please let me know if any of you have other ideas:
1) kiddo's empty plastic milk powder containers (1kg) as plant containers (after cleaning and drying)
2) i got from store big rectangular cardboards (without any plastic/tape on it) and plan to use them as pot for growing pottatoes (1 season crop, as cardobard will eventually degrade)
3) i plan to use those big sqaure cardobard for making test raised bed with support from several tree branches all around the board.
4) i plan to use wooden drawer either for container/raised bed
5) tomattoes i bought are coming in 15-16 cm (wide) x 6 to 7 cm (depth) recycled plastic containers. I use them to grow some peas/lettuce
6) i germinate seeds in egg boxes (cardboard ones)
7) transparent drink bottles i use as mini greenhouses
8) paper coffee cups i use for germinating seeds/first level of growth for plants
9) the old bed base i have they seem like untreated, so either i will use them for short hight raised bed or make wooden compost bin
.

.
i get sometimes really greedy when i see someone is throwing some wooden stuffs/materials which i could use in my garden...hpefully i will never be called as junkyard gardener
recycled stuffs are easy to find... here a site:
