A wooden planter is a great way to create a bed for growing plants and vegetables when you’re short on space.

You can make a wooden planter from treated wood in a day. Simply calculate how large the area you need, cut the wood and follow our steps to assemble the planter. Make sure your wooden planter has drainage holes so the plants don’t get waterlogged. However, if you place your planter in full sun, you may consider lining the inside of the planter with pieces of an old compost bag to keep the compost moist and reduce the need for regular watering.
