podster: I haven't done that with milk jugs, but I've done it with 2 liters and it worked well. First I cut all the way around the equator. Then punch drainage holes, sow seeds, water in. Take the top half of the jug, and cut slits in the bottom. Eventually, on someone's advice, I changed from simple slits to an upside down "V" on the bottom rim of the top half. It slides easily onto the bottom half. Doesn't even really need tape, it stays together. As the weather warms, just pull up slightly on the top and you have instant windows on the sides where the "Vs" are.

Works very well with the 2 or 3 liter pop bottles. The attached pic is from 2006 WSing.
