Ingredients
- 1 file cabinet
- 2 cans spray paint
- 1 drill wide bit
- 10 cubic feet potting soil
Instructions
- First, take out all the drawers. If it's been sitting watch out for spiders.
- Clean the cabinet, if necessary.
- Lay it down on its side so the openings are facing up.
- Drill drain holes - don't skip this! Drain holes are important for plants to grow properly.
- Spray paint the cabinet your desired color.Let dry (this part takes the longest).
- If desired, run drip tubing through the planter to make it hands-free. This tutorial can be applied to this planter for drip irrigation (the tutorial is at the bottom of the post).
- Move it to your desired location.
- Fill with soil. I filled the bottom 4 inches of mine with rocks and pieces of cardboard and then tilled the rest with soil. It held 10 cubic feet of soil.
- Plant your plants in the planter.
