my friend gave me this planter box for my girlfriend and I’ve never done anything regarding gardening. I think that I should make a couple holes at the bottom, but I’m not sure if I should line it with something. I think she wants to plant various vegetables. I’m slightly concerned about the wood rotting. And also the sides have slight holes in them. I think I’m just gonna get a bunch of topsoil and fill it up but correct me if I’m incorrect I’d love to hear all of your opinions and any help is appreciated.

Maybe get yourselfe tomatos or chillies first. Don´t drill hohles in it. Because if you do and then start watering, all the soil is gonna come out of them. Get some felt and put it on the inside of your box. Then you won´t mess up you balcony and still let water through.

Thats mine. I got no hohles because the water should be able to pass through. It could rott but if you put the felt in, you will slow down the rott significantly.
