What is the best sealer to use on a brick planter box?

by Debbie Ford

Answered

We have a large planter box that is made attached to the house and front porch. We are wanting to seal it but we are not sure what sealer, if any should we use that would still be safe for my plants? We are going to drill holes into it to let moisture out so that I don't get root rot in my plants.

What about lining it with landscaping plastic and adding styrofoam packing peanuts for drainage? That way, you don't have to worry about your plants, Debbie!
