Kitty litter buckets

I have a ton of these buckets around the place, and due to some issues I'm having with my back, I'd really like to garden up higher next year..... like actually standing I'm looking for ideas on exactly what to build to get these buckets up off the ground high enough to use. I've seen those pricey cedar garden tables that allow for stand up gardening, but they are very expensive and I certainly don't need that with all the buckets and spare wood I have in the barn. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

Turn one bucket/pail upside down and place the other one on top screw about three screws down through the bottom into the bottom of the upside down bucket, this will give you a 24" ? high planting pot. with a stool one of those rolling ones you can work them well maybe a wagon would do Good Luck Guilt Trip

Just build a bench,adding wood slats on the top. I made these for inside my greenhouse. Space the boards apart enough that water can drain through. You could even plant in buckets underneath, things that like shade.I have a rolling tractor seat for weeding, this would help for working under the bench. Make the benches only deep enough for you to comfortably to reach across. It will take Years for them to rot. I also use screws to put things together, easier for working alone.

I am a redneck woman, so I just use free pallets.
