I made one of these planters a few years ago and love it. I used mini aluminum loaf pans to line the shelves and it makes it really easy to replant or trim plants back.

i have done this in the past. Problems i had were, no drainage so in wet weather plants rot. In mid to late summer, heat caused plants to die, since not enough soil to hold moisture

I put old sponges in the bottom of my planters and raised bed planters (they are 4x4 and 35 inches high and were drying out very badly. Also, baby diapers or adult diapers help in a pinch but the old cleaning sponges work the best for my planters and keeping moisture in. Also helps with keeping moisture out as they soak up the extra water but not a deluge wondering why you would plant anything without a drainage hole in it. Maybe pebbles on the bottom either way all plants need something that will give them air to breathe and a drainage spot.
Have a question about this project?
I planted one very similar to this in the spring, with different succalent plants, etc. I left it siting flat on the deck for at least 5 weeks, as we were having a wet spring here in Maryland. After finally getting it upright, some of the soil has shifted, and now I have some erosion spots. How do I fill them in, without the dirt falling out, as I replace it? I was thinking, that eventually the plants will fill in, and the spots will not show?
I stapled black gardening plastic inside to hold the dirt in.
What font did you use?
Sorry, I really don't remember, I bought it at Michael's years ago and have since misplaced it
Great idea. I’m going to do this diy for my herbs and write (a taste for my pallet). Thanks you. Keep those ideas coming.😄
