The Cheap Vegetable Gardener recently did a post with an idea to increase growing area. Vertical gardening (growing things up rather than out) isn't a new concept. Most home gardeners do it with trellises, etc. for vining crops all the time. This idea was unique, though. Using recycled two liter bottles and plywood, they created a nifty vertical unit that can be placed on a fence.
The water drains from the top to the next highest "pot" helping to conserve a precious resource. While you couldn't grow huge crops in it, one could easily do lettuces, herbs, peas and beans (attach the pot directly to a trellis!), or other small veg with ease. No need to waste any space, right?
