Milk bottle gardens
One of the best ways I've found to grow, pack and deliver a garden is using milk crates and bottles as the modular system, there is really nothing you can't do with them which is why they are so highly prized by pragmatic people.
Here I am using a soldering iron and Stanley knife to to make the pots, first cut the bottle neck around, but leaving partially connected to allow micro green house.
I've removed (plucked) the seedlings from the jiffy coir pots for the hydroponic system already (more on that later) and will be burying the pellet in potting mix in each milk bottle.
I melt a hole in each corner for this type of grow with soldiering iron. In past I've experimented with the height of holes and even making wicking beds to allow longer gaps between watering, even growing in stacked milk crates just to see how viable it was for a crisis garden.
Total cost of this was $8 in potting mix, even made the trowel for transferring soil from an old milk bottle as I didn't bring one with me!
