On our last trip out to Utah, Alexaus got a 55-gallon drum and is planning to make a composter with it. That was the beginning of March, and she didn't really have anywhere to use compost, so for her birthday I built her a couple of planter boxes. Here they are:

The bottom is supported by 6 2x4s

One of three drain holes in each box...

1.8ish planter boxes


1.3ish planter boxes

They're 8x3x1, plus 4 inches on the bottom for the 2x4s. Originally I thought of putting them on the patio, but it's 10x10 and the boxes dominate most of the pad, and they fit perfectly against the house (there's a bed of rocks that they're sitting on that has been overrun by the grass), so that's where they'll sit. We're debating painting them or just filling them with dirt and having done. I'm sure I'll post before they're planted, but that'll be coming soon.
