I wanted to support my point with an example for a while now. I always forgot.
So here >>35327 is that informational I posted. Sounds great right?
But let's take a look at from the practical side.
You need lumber to build that. Make them from scratch is unlikely, but even if it is, you need to fell a tree, dry it if it's not, cut it up to boards and staves, lots of work. Or you pay money for it. But then it's rot. It can be reused, but in time you either make/get more, or it has to be impregnated to make it more durable - and since the whole thing have to be watered regularly... This is already three things that informational forgets.
If we are talking about reusability... we nail together and take apart the thing, that destroys the wood, we make holes and cracks, whatever, it leads back to the point that we need replacement parts. But we could design the box for easier disassembly, with screws and bolts for example.
Let's move on. Where do you get the soil? It needs liek a cubic meter... Ok, let's buy it, although with the lumber, waterproofing agent, screws and shit we're getting to a price (add the work too, time and energy...), it's simpler and cheaper just to buy the potato. But ofc this could be acquired free, maybe the garden needs a drainage ditch, that could give in unneeded soil. Or just bring (oh the labour) from the woods or wherever.
So quite a few pitfalls, just by the assembly. Who knows what unexpected problems just waiting while the thing is in use.
