This is a cool idea and the portableness is a plus, definitely.  Other ideas might be to use boxes or containers cast off from some manufacturing or delivery process - FarmLab has some of these that are being used to grow their garden that many of you probably saw at Larry's permaculture talent show.   

They are at about waist height, which makes gardening especially easy, and they won't tear or send off PCBs like plastic might, and they are recycled as opposed to manufactured newly for gardening.  The boxes could even be painted with murals - all sorts of fun stuff.  Cardboard and sheet mulch would work too, not as portable though...
