looking for the favorite planter box liner
or maybe i will just make drain holes
pond liner seems too stiff but seems to be the right stuff

Just went thru this exercise. Built 9 planters, all dovetailed corners, from PT lumber,
sealed inside and out with 2 coats of clear Cabot waterproofing.
Put 1/4" galv hardware cloth in the bottom, covered by weed blocking fabric.
Lined the planter with 6 mil poly letting it hang/drape over the top edge,
with the bottom scored so as to direct water to the bottom where it can drain.
Using Plastic J molding (think vinyl siding accessory) capped the planter top
and trimmed off the excess poly. Exterior of planter/capping was coated with
exterior solid stain. Plants are doing great, will not know till next spring
if/how well the planters themselves hold up...

Hmmm, which? The Poly, the Cabots or the PT lumber???
Pairs well with Drano on ice
These are just flowers, nothing for human consumption.


Ha !
I would like to see a pic though - especially the dove-tails -
large hand-cut ? ... a lot of PT sawdust if machine cut ?

Used a Keller Jig, worked outside, fresh air...Used PT fence boards, $2 per 6' board, not intended for ground contact, so I was hoping for lesser concentration of chemicals...
