This is a downloadable PDF sent automatically by Etsy after purchase. The PDF is printer friendly on standard size paper. Planter Dimensions: 64" x 26" and 25" inches tall. Includes 11 pages of comprehensive SketchUP drawings, detailed 3D diagrams, step by step instructions, material list, cut lists, recommended tools list, and all key measurements and details. You can build this Planter with only a drill and a drill bit if you don't own a miter saw or a circular saw. Most of big box lumber stores can cut your wood to dimensions. All of my plans are designed and test by myself from start to finish. The list of reasons for switching to raised vegetable garden beds is long, but these are the main advantages: Tending raised plants is a lot easier on the back and knees. You can fill planters with top-quality soil for more productivity in a smaller space. Raised beds curtail creeping weeds and drifting seeds. The height discourages pests, especially rabbits. Cost to build averages around $80-$140 depending on your location and your choice of materials. If you need help at any point in the build process feel free to email me. Skill Level-Beginner

Sometimes when you move from one space to another, you realize how much (or how little) you really have of something. I don’t know if it’s because our new house is a very different shape than the last one (long, narrow ranch instead of open concept), but I definitely have more plant stands than places…
Since seeing this container planting over on Garden’s Illustrated’s website earlier this summer, I have been all sorts of obsessed with mini meadows in pots. This lovely thing was grown from seed, so my own experiment to re-create something similar with have to be added to next year’s ‘To Do’ list….but my patience for this […]

A couple of months ago I dreamed up these planters. Thankfully, I have an awesome husband who can whip this sort of stuff up for me. I posted some pictures on Twitter and Facebook (and I'll be posting some on my new Instagram account too!) of my garden and people wanted to know more about the raised planters I'm using. So, here is what they look like. I've got five of them made out of leftover culverts we owned and weren't using. Culverts are big drainage pipes that are used underground to carry water. Now, I'm sure not everyone has these just laying around, but you can check Craigslist and find them or call around and see if your city has any they want to get rid of. Otherwise, check with a plumbing supply house (not a Lowe's or Home Depot). Here is what you will need: Culverts (mine are 48" wide and 4' tall) 1 garden hose 1 roll of thin metal wire Drill with 3/8" drill bit (or similar) Razor knife Level Circular saw/sawzall/plasma cutter (one of the three) Paint (if you're using a galvanized pipe, you'll need to make sure you have paint that will stick to galvanized metal) Creek or clean gravel - enough to fill up half of your culvert Garden grade dirt - enough to fill up the rest of your culverts Directions: 1.) Measure and mark your culverts for cutting. 2. Cut your culverts to length using a circular saw with a metal blade, a sawzall or a plasma cutter if you have one. 3.) Paint the culvert. Let dry completely. 4.) Using your knife, cut a slit through one side of the garden hose (not all the way through it - it should remain in one piece) so that it will wrap around the top of the culvert (see picture below). 5.) Place garden hose on top of the pipe as shown below. 6.) Drill a hole right below the garden hose every 10-12". 7.) Thread metal wire around garden hose, through the hole you just drilled and tighten (shown below). 8.) Set your culvert in place and make sure it is level, side to side and front to back. 9.) Fill your culvert halfway with gravel. ***If you're only using these to grow shallow plants, like herbs, you can use more gravel and less dirt which will be less expensive. *** 10.) Fill remainder of the culvert with garden dirt leaving about 4" of space at the top. 11.) Plant your garden! Here is one of my planters - this one has potatoes and onions! These planters are GREAT for anything that will grow down into the dirt like carrots, onions, garlic, potatoes, turnips etc. Let me know if you have any questions!
