  • Gotta love succulents! Especially when there is a clever way to hold and arrange them. Cinder blocks cost only about $1.50 USD each. This has to be one of the cheapest and easiest ways to create your own modern succulent planter.

    I'm surprised that the landscape cloth holds tightly enough to keep the soil from falling through on the blocks that suspend above the ground. No problems with that? BTW, I LOVE this and will get started as soon as you reply about the suspended blocks.

  • @happybruceter
    @happybruceter 3 года назад

    Hey there! I love this idea and your arrangement, I've been wanting to do something similar on my patio. Question for you: have you noticed any issues related to the water falling to the ground inside the cinderblock holes (under where the plants are) and getting trapped there? Or does the water do a good job of evaporating? I rent my current place and worry about damaging the cement on my patio if the excess water cannot escape - perhaps a silly concern, but want to make sure.

    • @acreativetraveler783
      @acreativetraveler783  3 года назад

      I haven’t noticed any issues with that. To my knowledge, the water is evaporating just fine. Maybe you could put something on the ground first to help prevent any water damage?
