"You don’t have to have a lot of outdoor space or cash to start an organic garden – in fact, if you’ve got a fire escape and some plastic containers in your recycling bin, you can grow everything from fresh greens and tomatoes to a wide array of herbs. Just ask Mike Lieberman, who built self-watering containers out of recycled materials so he could grow some of his own food at his Manhattan apartment."More at the link.
Simple, ingenious and Organic.
I wouldn't use plastic though, I do not encourage the use of it.
I would use organic pots, green ones, one of them is cow pots made of cow manure. It's better for the plant and the environment.

Thanks for the responses. I've recently updated the pics and videos from the fire escape. It's been a lot of fun so far. Not much space or money, but getting it done.

This is awesome stuff. The only organic pots I've seen to too pricy for my pocket. I'll stick to recyclables myself.
