How To Make Concrete Planters For 7 Dollars

I made concrete planters for a total cost around 7 dollars. If I used the whole bag of concrete I could make 23 planters for that 7 dollars. There was only 20 minutes of hands on time and was very easy to complete.

    friend and it did great although she used wigglers too. I made a vent near the bottom front of the cooler by cutting out a hunk of foam about 3" x 4" and covered it with screen. Be sure to keep it moist by either wet scraps or adding a bit of water. I've heard of people keeping wormbeds in their homes for convenience but don't do that. Sometimes nats hang around. Be sure to turn your "dirt" from time to time.
