When I was in England at The Manor Hemingford Grey
I saw this rock planter and wanted one.
So this is what I did when I got home.

I bought an old cinder block from a store that sells used building waste.
It costed 1.00.

Then I found a place I wanted to put it. (Cinder blocks are heavy and when you add dirt and plants they only get heaver.)

Then I took black garden fabric the kind you put in your garden to keep the weeds down and placed it in the bottom and up the sides. You may also want to put a board under your block if you plan on moving it.
Next I added my dirt and plants.

The look I got is not perfect but for a dollar who can complain.

I also found this cool cinder bock pipe and could not resist it.
It was also a 1.00.
Just think of the possibilities.
Those would be great in any land garden, but way too heavy for my cabin's float. I need to transplant two cedar trees into larger containers. I'm trying to think of a way to cut down on weight even for the dirt. Don't you just love thrift and seconds stores? - Margy
ReplyDeleteHave you ever thought of building them their own float? It could be neat looking.
