DIY Earth BOX clone self watering planter

Жыл бұрын

after watching a few videos I decided to build my own earth box planter
you will need a container
some corrugated pipe
some pvc pipe
potting MIX (not soil)
Happy New Year, I wish you all the best for a bountiful 2023.
I still have a corrupt section in this video but at least the whole thing is uploaded now, enjoy.
Thanks for watching The ProCut

I like your build, looks better than others I've seen but I'm surprised that you did not add a piece of geotextile to prevent soil from going into your water reservoir though the weeping holes.

@TheProCut17 Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and commenting. I've seen it both ways, but I did not have any cloth laying around. I will likely pull this box apart this fall and can report whether any soil got through or not.

with the 4" pipe in the bottom you want the drain hole between 3" and 3.5" so there is approximately a 1" air gap
