Abstract: A selectable volume container for dispensing an article includes a surrounding sidewall with a first end portion and an opposing second end portion with the sidewall having an interior. Further included is an element having an outer periphery, wherein the outer periphery is slidably engaged to the sidewall interior inner surface such that the element dispenses the article form the interior. Also included in the selectable volume container is a planar member that is affixed to the outer periphery on one end and extends outside the interior on the other end. Operationally on the selectable volume container the article is disposed within the interior and in contact with the element, wherein a manual pulling of the planar member results in the element moving with the article being transported from the interior toward an external environment.

Abstract: The instant invention provides a plywood garden container that is inexpensive to manufacture, that may be produced sustainably, that is lightweight, that is durable, that is not prone to bowing of straight sides, that preserves the shape of curved sides, that is not prone to aliasing during handling, and that may be of any desired shape. A plywood garden container includes plywood boards (sides) to form an outer structure. Lightweight posts or hinges are disposed at each corner of the structure to hold sides upright and to enclose a plywood garden container. Wooden parts of a plywood garden container are painted with a food-grade paint before assembly in order to seal the wood. A sheet of wire mesh is pulled taught across an underside of the structure and secured with anchors. A plywood garden container includes an open top. After a garden is planted in a plywood garden container, the wire mesh distributes pressure away from the corners and to all parts of the container.
