How Do You Plant Wooden Flower Boxes?
If you don’t like weeding, but love flowers, then flower boxes are for you. In a small rectangular wooden box you can plant an entire miniature flower garden. Plus you never have to spend endless hours under the hot sun pulling or digging out interloping weeds. Apply a few basic design principles to planting flower boxes and you’ll be rewarded with visually sumptuous accents to your windows or deck. Decide where the wooden flower boxes will be placed and purchase plants accordingly. If the box will be in full sun a great deal of the day, then purchase sun hardy plants like geraniums. Select a combination of plants that have varying heights and textures. Decide on a color scheme such as flowers of varied colors or whether to stay in the same color scheme like all blues or reds. Fill the flower box with soil to just one inch below the top of the box. First pour the soil into a pail, pour water in and mix it around until the soil is damp but doesn’t clump together.
