How do I plant wooden flower boxes?
Line the PlanterWood tends to deteriorate when wet, so line wooden flower boxes with water-resistant planting containers. Either a traditional flower pot with a water tray or a food-grade plastic gallon jug cut in half and placed in a meat tray will make a good container choice.Plan for Drainage and Soil TypeCover the bottom of the inner container with thumb-sized pebbles or pieces of broken pottery. Add the proper growing medium for the plant you intend to use. Fill the container about half-full of growing medium if you are setting in live plants. Fill the container to about 1 inch below the brim if you will be planting seeds.PlantingPlace the plant on the soil and follow up with the rest of the growing medium. If you are planting seeds, insert several more seeds than necessary so that you can thin the plants later. Follow the seed package directions to determine planting depth. Place the wooden flower box where the plants will get the recommended amount of light.
