Hello nice people!

Some older or disabled persons can't reach the ground but would like to continue gardening. I imagine we could put at the proper height smaller plants (redcurrant, strawberry, raspberry, tomato, blueberry...), example:



Have you already seen a similar item for sale? I think at it for my old mum. If it doesn't exist yet, someone should produce it.

The soil would better be around hip height, so dumping it right on the ground would need an excessive amount. I'd like a mobile item to adapt the sunlight exposure to the plant, to move it when mowing the lawn, and to get rid of it without damage if the attempt ceases. The capacity of a wheelbarrow seems a good start, though narrower and deeper.

Details:

• The materials must resist sunlight (beware plastics), stagnant water, plant acidity.
• The container should have drains, for instance at the stiffeners. Its bottom can be V-shaped.
• The item should permit to assemble tight rows.
• The container could accommodate poles that hold a net against birds.
• The frame should stop slugs and mice if feasible.
• Several unassembled items should fit in a car's trunk.
