    I very much appreciate the added tibs/tricks/tribulation comments you make along the way. Even if we're not that interested in a specific project, it's great to learn about the how of doing things.

    Great build im the same way when using my kreg jigs with normal screws I am going to be adding the k320 jig to my collection of kreg stuff I used mine to build a hope chest for my niece Hannah for a graduation present. Keep up the great videos

    Nice build, with plenty of exercise thrown in ! I built 3 low mobile planters a while ago for strawberries and found that adding about 1 inch of medium gravel before soil helped keep the drainage holes free . What IS she going to plant in there ? bananas maybe…

  12. David Harvey

    Wow that's very deep. You did a great job. I'd be afraid that the side would push out as the compost settled though

    to much work for just one box , i made pallet garden beds , if look on you tube you find them , cheaper and a lot less work later

    very nice project! Reminds me of planter I built for my Mother-in-law many years ago. It had to sit on ground and top had to be level with bottom of her window. She wanted to grow flowers and be able to see them from her favorite chair. After building to her specifications, my wife and I drove it 5 hours to her home in a seniors' complex, carried the massive structure around the building to where her window was and filled with soil Unfortunately, she didn;t like it. She said it reminded her of a casket! LOL. We removed the planter and gave to another friend who did enjoy it because it was high and didn;t have to bend down to tend to the plants.
    Question. I noticed you did not use any glue, any particular reason, or do you find the screws alone are strong enough?

    This is a fantastic planter. I have to make a something akin to this to neatly hide the new gas bottles I had installed for my new Stove/Oven. I'm going to convert the idea you have here. I was a bit iffy on how to do it at first but i think you're video has really helped. Cheers.

    Would not a wider gap between side boards and end boards allow for the planting of "stuff" that would hang down the side? Think tomatoes, flowers, non-lettuce veggies although my mainframe is overheated and memory banks are fading. The reason I mention "side-out" plants, ferns, flowers and the occasional veg is that I'm building a chicken-wire frame, filling the planter with sphagnum moss sides that'll accommodate a plethora of flora, something to water with a wand mister and dream there's not a water shortage. Cheers from San Diego and THANK YOU for filming your work, you inspire me to do things right.

    Hi, Marie. So I've binge-watched all your videos and I have to say, I'm loving your channel. I was just looking up herringbone work and found you. Thank God too because I've already learned so much from your vids. Count me in as a new subscriber. Love your projects, your style, and your presentation. I also love how you explain as you go. Others do that too but you seem more clear. I can not wait to see what's next. Thanks so much and keep up the great content!

    Super excited – This is just what I’ve been looking for, so I purchased the plans. Thankyou !

    I enjoyed the video. Great job and I look forward to your next project. A big howdy from Texas.

    Nice looking planter but why to deep unless you want to bury some bodies as somebody already mentioned. I would think the top third would be plenty deep for vegetables.
