has anyone ever built a salad table and if so was it any good?
Sorry. Don't know what you mean.
I've seen lots of plans on the net for them but never got round to trying it. Google 'salad table'. This year it doesn't matter how high off the ground I grow salad, the slugs have got their climbing gear out, either that of they've sprouted wings :(
I've grown pinches of provence salad leaves in modules and planted them into a couple of troughs. I can keep these above the slugs and away from the birds. Never thought of a salad table :)
I grow a salad garden when in the UK, usually through the winter in a greenhouse, actually I had four.
I used fish boxes, they were royal blue in colour very heavy plastic about 3 1/2 feet x 30 inches and about 10 or 11 inches deep.
They were very good for all the sak]lad veggies I wanted. I had them on my greenhouse benches in the winter. I grew lettuce greens, onions,few small beets,radishes etc.n They worked very well.
