Crystal - 29 Rue House Stratford, CT

for concrete forms that work perfectly for planter boxes like yours. In fact I have a planter box just like that for berries and even though I used deck screws to put it together I put the stakes at the corners and in the centers of the long run because over time it will come apart, even with good attachments. The stakes are cheap and durable so you will get many years of service out of your box with no maintenance issues, that is why I use them. I'm not sure what kreging is but even with that I would always stake a planter just so I don't have any future issues. If you just built it there is no hurry for that but the next couple of years should suffice.

BTW the milky spore does work great but you really should just broad cast it everywhere in your yard not just your planter boxes. Seven dust works great but unfortunately it does kill just about everything it touches. That is why I quit using it years ago, except for flea infestations.

Good luck with your new garden.
