Steven @ WoodBlocX According to Dictionary.com, garden planters are "a decorative container, of a variety of sizes and shapes, for growing flowers or ornamental plants." Only problem was we then took far longer to complete the overall task than we had anticipated! Also when you get to the end,(& in our case at retirement age we felt pretty tired) we just wanted to celebrate the achievement of making the two very large planters for ourselves. We couldn't because they were both incomplete, until the remaining pieces arrived. So it sort of took the enjoyment away from our project!

A variety of low-maintenance plants may be combined, so as lush and impressive as they look, living walls needn’t be a lot of work. Benefits of a Plant Wall Unlike raised beds, our outdoor planters are self-contained units that retain all the materials (e.g., compost, water, fertiliser, plant roots, etc.,) within the planter via a hard bottom panel. Therefore, growing space is restricted to the depth of the planter. For this reason, it is important to choose plants carefully. Choose plants with shallow roots, such as small shrubs, herbs, some vegetables, and annual flowers. My daughter and I managed in the end and I am delighted with my finished pond. There is a very good fish and pond shop near me and they have helped me with choosing a pump and small fountain and I have plants and fish already. I am so pleased with it!Panels with an abundance of foliage that looks convincingly real will make your wallet wince more than flimsier versions, but they are worth the extra expense if your budget allows. If it doesn’t, but you need extra coverage, grow real ivy, clematis or jasmine to intertwine with the faux foliage. Trees can be a natural way for effective screening but may take a while to grow to the desired height,' say the experts at Gardenesque.com. How can I stop my neighbours overlooking my garden? Ok it’s not cheap, and I took my time, around 2 hours a day over 10-12 days to build, but buying wood the same quality then cutting and sawing etc or hiring a joiner made this a great option for a very amateur DIYer like me. The finish is very professional. Of course, it’s not exactly a green wall project but a smart vertical vegetable garden idea for limited space gardeners.

We would have given 5 stars if the delivery times had been more accurate. Although we had asked for a date several days more than the minimum it didn't arrive on the date so be prepared for the delivery to be at least one day later than asked for. WoodblocX does say it may not be on the day requested. Although the video says there is a Saturday delivery, our distribution centre did not offer a Saturday. We also had to phone to find out when the delivery would be as we had no notification.

I enjoyed putting the pond together, despite making a couple of mistakes putting pegs in where they shouldn’t have gone!
