Introduction

Gardening is a wonderful hobby, and it can be even better when you add your own touches to the mix. You can make your own large plant pots from found objects or repurpose items in your home. Here are some steps to follow when making a DIY planter:

Step 1: Secure Your Planter

• Choose a container that is large enough to hold your plants. You want to make sure there is enough room in the planter for your plants and their roots, so choose one that will hold them comfortably and not overcrowd them.
• Choose a container that is durable and will last. This doesn’t have to be expensive, but it should be able to withstand being outside in all kinds of weather over several months without falling apart or cracking too easily.
• Choose a container that is easy to move around if needed (e.g., if you need more sun or shade).
• Choose a container that is easy to clean if needed (e.g., if you need more sun or shade).

STEP 2: Add Drainage Rocks

Add Drainage Rocks

You can use a mix of stones and gravel for your drainage layer. The stones should be about the same size as your pot, and the gravel should be about 1/4 the size of your pot. The stones and gravel should be about 1″ deep in order to allow adequate drainage.

STEP 3: Add Your Potting Soil

Add your potting soil, fertilizer (if you’re using it) and water well. You can also add some decorative items like stones or shells to your pots if you’d like them to have a more polished look. Now that all of the main components are in place, it’s time to add the plants!

Step 4: Pot Your Plants End of Season

After your potting soil has had a chance to settle out into the bottom of each container and dry out for a day or two, plant up each container with its new contents. Because these plants are going into large containers, it’s best not to bury them too deeply—just enough so that their roots aren’t exposed at the top of the soil but not so far down that they won’t be able to support themselves later on when they start growing again next spring (or whenever)!

You can make your own large plant pots from found objects. You can use anything from old tires to plastic buckets, or even an old bucket that you have saved from the trash.

To fill these large containers, you will want to use a potting soil that is specifically designed for large containers. It should be light weight and drain well so the water does not sit in the bottom of your container and cause root rot or mold to grow on top of it. Also consider using a no-fertilizer potting soil because some fertilizers may not be good for your plants later down the road when they start growing rapidly during warmer weather months.

If using a recycled tire as a base for your planter, drill holes all around its circumference before filling with dirt so it drains properly once watered regularly over time without having any standing water left inside after watering cycles are complete (which could lead to root rot).
