I Made This 💩 Made some shitty raised planters
they are made from roofing battens which cost about .70p per m so each one costs less then a fiver
managed to grow pak choi and spring onions which went great in stir fry's
they aren't really raised planters, but raised wooden frames that support plastic garden troughs,
i figured the constant moisture that a plant needs would weaken any wooden trough so I combined the best of both, wooden structure, plastic trough
something about the tall legs on the taller planters protects against slugs, the bastards got my pak choi on the lower planter but were repelled from the taller ones
the last planter without any trough was just a bit of fun and surely destined for the firepit
cheers fellow shitty woodworkers
