We made this salad table this year and have already cut 3 Walmart bags full of lettuce! We let the residents in our care home plant/water them and they loved watching them grow, grow, grow! Easy for them to water them. No bending over for them. They all loved it! Awesome plan Martha and friends!!! :)

Our salad table was a great success! Read my review on the Philadelphia Healthy Food Examiner page. http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-63312-Philadelphia-Healthy-Food-Exami...

What a great idea!! We just built two of them. It's our first year growing in the Mid-Atlantic and was trying desperately to figure out how to grow lettuce, second time around, in this heat!! :)

I made this last summer and It turned out great. I used lag bolts to attach the legs. They seemed sturdier when we moved it. I didn't see the link to the Univ of Maryland, so I just measured from distance from the floor to my waist and had the boards cut that long! Then when I screwed the large casters on, it was the perfect height. I do like the idea of the table resting on a second board, so this spring, I'll take the legs off and add another board for stability.

This was a great project for my husband and I to do together. It took very little time and we recycled wood that we had in the yard. Thanks

I built the salad table in a few hours. total cost was $38. Be sure to put at least 2" wheels on the bottom so you can move it around. Also, I painted mine forest green to protect the wood from the water and moisture. Otherwise it will rot and fall apart in 2 seasons or less.

The instructions are much better on University of Maryland's site. http://www.hgic.umd.edu/content/documents/HG601SaladTables_SaladBoxes.pdf . Can't wait to try this out.

I've been waiting for a picture to show my husband what I wanted to build. Thanks to "spaceetracee" s comment and info I was able to go directly to University of Maryland's website and download what I needed. As of Sunday at 7pm your website did not have video or pictures only instructions. My husband does better with a picture. Plan on making this over next weekend. I've already purchased the different letture and spinach seeds I want to plant. Thanks again "spaceetracee".

I really don't want a table with legs on the lawn since i"ll have to mow around the legs. My thought is to utilize heavy rope in place of the legs and hang the table from several branches of our large tree. Main concern is will they get enough sunlight--how much do 'salad' vegetables need? What do you think?

If you click on "Home and garden information Center" above it takes you to a site for a very detailed instruction on building this table. I can't wait to try this myself.

I don't see where the directions for the table refer to the legs. Is the wood needed for the legs included in the 2x4's listed above? Help!

can this be made deeper for other vegetables? if so how? email me at dizz3898@aol.com
thanks

I just signed on as I saw this last evening I have the general idea. Are the 2x4 quantities enough to make the legs of the table no instructions are given thank you so it is a great idea.

I have been growing Salad Greens for 3 winters in our greenhouse using plastic Gutters with drain holes punched in bottom hanging up with jackchain. I plant a Gutter every month so I dont run out of lettuce, by the time the third one is planted the first is almost ready to replant. It is to hot here in AZ to grow Lettuce in the Summer.

made two of these yesterday and used 2X6 and chick wire cause it was free and for extra strength I put 1x2 over top of the wire edge for extra strength and they turned out great can't wait for the first harvest. Thanks

The legs are two boards of different lengths simply screwed or nailed together.
I thinks she means, Its the first ORGANIC garden.

You need to include instructions for cutting the lumber into the appropriate lengths, and for assembling the legs. Not all of us are experienced woodworkers.

I watched the show today and I seem to have heard Martha say that this is the first garden to ever be planted at the White House. However, I'm sure it must have been a glitch, since I'm sure she must know that Eleanor Roosevelt planted a Victory Garden on the front lawn of the White House during WWII in 1943.

I love this plan for a standing lettuce garden, making it much easier for elders who have a more difficult time bending over for prolonged periods of time. I

You forgot to include instructions for making the table legs and attaching the casters. Please include or email me.

Thank you
