DIY Planter


DIY Planter Guide (Cheap & Easy)


🧰 What You Need:

1 plastic crate or container (cardboard containers also work)

1 empty 35L plastic soil bag, and something to cut it with

Potting soil or compost and seeds or seedlings


🪴 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1 Line the Crate: Cut open the 35L plastic bag. Use it to line the inside of the crate like a basket. This keeps the soil in while allowing drainage.

Step 2 Add Soil: Fill the lined crate with soil.

Step3 Plant Seeds or Seedlings: Sow your seeds or plant seedlings directly into the soil. Water well.


Finally, make sure water can still drain out from the bottom/sides. Poke small holes in the plastic lining if needed.


✅ Reusing plastic bags and crates saves money and reduces waste.
