How To Make A Planter Box

Introduction

A garden is a wonderful way to add colour and life to your home. You can choose from many different types of plants, including flowers, herbs and vegetables. If you plan on growing edibles in your garden then you’ll need a planter box as well as some pots or trays to put them in.

Planter boxes are a great way to bring colour and life to your garden.

Planter boxes are a great way to bring colour and life to your garden. Planter boxes can be built from wood, bricks, or concrete. They can be built in any shape or size.

Planter boxes are very versatile and can be used for herbs, flowers or vegetables. They add a beautiful touch of colour to any garden and are very useful when it comes time to plant seeds or cuttings from the houseplants you may have inside your home.

If you already have a list of the things you’d like growing in your garden, then plan your design around those items.

This will ensure that each plant has enough room to grow and reach its full potential but it can also maximize space for multiple crops.

The planter box should be as close to the house as possible so it’s easy to water, but not in direct sunlight.

The location of your planter box is important. It needs to be close to the house so you can easily water it, but not in direct sunlight. The ideal placement would be a shaded area that receives plenty of indirect sunlight during the day and where there is no wind flow (this prevents leaves from blowing into your planting bed).

Choose wood that is naturally resistant to termites.

As you’re building your planter box, it’s important to choose wood that is naturally resistant to termites.

Termites are attracted to moist, decaying wood. If you build a planter box out of soft, rotting and old wood then you’re basically asking for trouble.

If you want to avoid having your DIY project destroyed by termites, there are some easy ways around the problem! The first thing is by using preservative-treated lumber such as cedar or redwood (the chemicals used for this can be toxic so make sure if it’s not specifically labeled “safe for edible plants” then don’t use it). You can also just buy pressure-treated lumber which has been treated with chemicals specifically designed not only kill off any existing termite nests but prevent future infestations as well!

You can use your planter box for herbs, flowers or vegetables.

Take away some soil for each plant, making sure there’s room for roots to grow.

Now it’s time to make room for your plants. If you’re planting something tall like corn or tomatoes, remove an inch of soil from the bottom. For smaller plants like herbs and lettuce, take away half an inch. This will allow them to grow without being too cramped in the box and with enough room for their roots to spread out.

Fill the box with potting mix and plant seeds according to package instructions.

Seedlings need a light, sterile soil like Pro-Gro or Sunshine Mix #4 (you can buy these at your local home improvement store). Fill your planter box with 2” of potting mix, then carefully spread out the seedling roots over this layer of soil. Water well and let it sit overnight before planting seedlings in it.

For best results: keep the soil moist, but not wet; keep the temperature between 60 and 75 degrees F; fertilize regularly once plants have sprouted.

Planter boxes make a great addition to any garden.
