Budget-Friendly Gardening: Planter Boxes with Salvaged Wood

Join me as I build a six-foot planter box using recycled wood and basic tools. In this video, I'll show you the step-by-step process, from measuring and cutting to assembling the frame and attaching the boards. Using a Sawzall and a jigsaw, I'll navigate the challenges of cutting straight lines without a skill saw. This build isn't perfect, but it’s functional and sustainable, using salvaged materials to create something beautiful for my garden.

I’ll also share tips on dealing with warped wood, selecting screws, and painting the finished box. Plus, I'll show you the difference between my 9-foot planter box and this new 6-footer, along with my plans to upgrade the garden space by replacing old tires with these custom-built planter boxes.

Stay tuned to see the final product and hear about my plans for symbiotic planting and divider ideas for multi-use planters. Let’s make gardening more sustainable and creative together!
