Just realized my balcony setup was all wrong after a visit to the community garden in Portland

I was at the Portland Community Garden tour last month and saw how they used old milk crates for deep root crops like carrots, which I'd always failed with in my shallow pots. Tbh, I came home and switched my whole 8-foot balcony to stacked crate planters filled with a 60/40 soil and compost mix. Has anyone else tried this crate method for things like radishes or beets?

Is it that big of a deal?

Honestly, what isn't a big deal these days?
