I’d build a box the same dimensions as your burlap soil bags. Use the burlap bag as a liner so all the costumer has to do is open the bag and ready to plant!

[@kurtcraig3421]

great idea. at the least you could cut the soil bag to line the bottom of the box for drainage after drilling some holes.

[@davidj.leavitt7176]

Another great video with great ideas. Thank you Emerald and Jade. Double up some landscape fabric to lay in the bottom of your planter boxes. If you’ve got little critters that love to eat the plants and veggies in the boxes, cover the bottom with chicken wire. All of my raised beds have chicken wire and landscape fabric on the bottoms. No gophers or moles can get in. Chicken wire covers also keep rabbits and deer from munching on the plants.

Might be worth checking to see if you could fit 3 or 4 flower pots in your boxes. It might be nice to have then in these during early spring and late fall when you might have to move them to protect against freezing. If the fit snuggly so they don’t slide around you might be able to team up with a local green house or garden center to sell them.

Flower post (could be the plastic ones that plants come in) in boxes is a good idea. The boxes will last longer, and the pots can be rotated out with new plantings from the greenhouse.

I like the planter with the feet. The box will last longer if it sits on dirt or grass - the feet will rot faster than the bottom. I think holes on the bottom will work better than the gaps along the edge. I can always cover the holes with some screen or a broken piece of pottery etc. to prevent soil from falling out but that would be hard to do with the long gap. Holes are traditional for a reason I guess.

May I suggest either finger joints or dovetails for the corner joinery as well as dadoing the bottoms in and I would dowel pin the wooden handles on (keeping it 100%wodden construction). YES, I know there will be small investment in tooling jigs and fixtures to get going but that will pay for itself VERY quickly. and you will have a product that will actually function well. for small flower boxes it isn't really necessary but for boxes that need to stand up to weight, yep, that is what I would do. well actually have done.

Pine, outdoor planters, maybe some way to preserve ? posts in the ground you can tar, wrap in plastic and heat and shrink wrap (the best way)(posts for pole frame buildings) and old farmers in the west used to coat their posts with used motor oil, two coats length in the ground to 6 inch above grade, some of these posts have been in the ground for a hundred years, but depends on soil type/climate also. So something to think about.

[@geraldblackburn4883]

@@neverlookback3382 Ya, come on, just making discussion, but never know, if you paint it on, and let is set in the sun a few days, sure not for food, but for plants ?

By far, the attached handles are the most reasonable and require the least amount of time for construction and attachment (remember: time = money!). As far as the legs, build and sell them separate.

Try using landscape fabric in the bottom of the planter boxes to keep the soil from falling out. It is rot resistant. You could buy a roll and cut off pieces for customers who don't need to buy an entire roll.

Awesome ideas all around. Couple of thoughts, in particular for the cook wood. Yes, definitely needs rope handles, but perhaps also making skids on the bottom like sleigh rails / sled, could be decorative and help. Also, to reduce weight, have the cook wood on the outside /line the outer walls of the box and have homemade charcoal in the middle. Would reduce the weight tremendously and provide 2 different cooking options. I would buy that in a heartbeat and I think others would as well. Keep doing what you're doing! Peace and all good!

[@mkllove]

Hi Emerald and Jade ! I like the planter boxes with the standoffs underneath to keep it elevated off ground so there is less likelihood of rotting from being saturated with moisture. You could also pre treat them with a weed burning torch on insides so they have better protection vs water. Another option could be to instruct users to staple the canvas bag your soil is packaged with to the insides to prevent it trickling out the gaps along bottom edge.

[@carlosjimenez1988]

You should line the planter with landscape fabric. For the charcoal, I would line with burlap.

Great video you are very good at explaining and promoting your products thank you, see you on the next one.

[@twistedhillbilly6157]

Just my 2 cents (9/16 cent after current inflation). ALL of your ideas are great. Offering a box to go along with your other products will be a big hit. Maybe offer a smaller version that can be shipped economically. The planters need drainage. Drilling eight or ten 1" and stapling a 2" sq piece of stainless or alum. screen over each hole would allow a solid bottom which will be stronger.. Give some thought to longevity.. As the pine dries, it will loose it's grip on fasteners and glue is completely useless outdoors. If someone lifts a planter full of wet soil and plants and the bottom falls out of the box, their shoes may get dirty. Dovetail corners would be good but time consuming to produce. You can leave a couple sample boxes in the kiln for a few months to gat an idea of what might happen outdoors... LASTLY Get a branding iron with your company logo and burn it into every box... You do great work and take pride in ti.. It wouldn't hurt to FLAUNT IT!!!! ..

The planter boxes look like a marvelous idea. Putting a layer of river rock in the bottom before adding the potting soil makes for a very healthy place for the roots to grow strong and deep. It only takes a few holes to permit proper drainage. I hope you sell lots and make good money for your efforts.

If you cut aprox 2" wide 17/64" strips vs one piece bottom you can space them with 1/2" gaps. Drainage is more consistent across the horizontal plane. Too keep soil from passing through the user simply lays down newspapers and those annoying flyers. The water passes through the paper and through the slots. Carter.... Canada

[@ciaheadmechanic0809]

If you size the burlap bag to the planter, just slicing it open and planting might be the way to go. Leave the burlap in the bottom of the planter and tuck the cut edges in and away from the plants. It will degrade slowly and by then hopefully the mix will have compacted a bit and have roots through providing structure. Instead of holes you might be able to use a few narrower boards to provide drainage and cut cost, especially if the burlap and feet are there for support. I love woodworking and gardening too!
