Default Planter

Raised Planter we designed and built last fall. Has drain rock behind blocks and filled with amended spent mushroom compost

Beautiful workmanship and design. I love the organic feel to the flow of the design. Curves with all the hard surfaces.

Thanks for sharing.

Yes, I agree - I love the curves. It looks beautiful!


How many tomato plants can you fit in it?

Thanks for the complements. I might be able to sneak 1 or 2 tomatoes in between my wife's flowers, will tell her it's a new exotic plant with cute little yellow flowers. Maybe I could get away with a dwarf.
