To bad that he doesn’t answer people’s questions, because people ask great questions that I would like to know the answer.
Hi! Do you use the linseed oil inside the planter as well or are you only applying to the outside
Thanks for the tip. Was wondering what I could do to improve the wood.
Very informative. got the oil and I'm gonna try it today.
Great advice - thank you!! I purchased 6 containers like the one on your video. What are you using for inside the container to help prevent rotting? Plastic Liners?
Will this help protect from rain as well?
What kind of wood are using ?
Plz answer our questions 🙏What can we use to protect the INSIDE the box?? We are using 2x6 pine wood
I have used excess pool liner material stapled to the inside of similar boxes. You can also use heavy black poly drop sheet material (available at home depot). Any type of thick plastic sheeting would do. Drape the material into the box without cutting it. Cover the sides and bottom and fold it into place for a neater fit. Staple the folds against the wood with a staple gun to secure them into place. Think of it as wrapping a present inside out. Once you have the inside neatly covered, cut the excess material along the top edges. You can even leave an inch or two extra and fold the top cut edge and staple it into place for a cleaner finish. Then drill large spaced-out holes along the bottom for drainage. Don’t be shy with the holes. You can place them a foot or 6 inches apart, for example, depending on the size of your box and how well draining your planting medium is. Go with your gut. You can staple small squares of chicken wire fencing cut to size to cover the drain holes. If you are making bottomless boxes, basically just the 4 sides placed on the ground, measure out strips of the thick plastic sheeting, enough that they wrap around the inner sides and bottom edge of the wood and maybe even an inch of wrap around the front. Then staple it into place to cover the inner surface. Basically, you want to create a layer of separation against prolonged direct contact with moisture so that the wood doesn’t eventually start soaking up water in place of the raw linseed oil. Good luck!
Just a random question, but do you think the ultimate spar urethane water based is safe to use for planter boxes? Just wondering.
I’m confused about flaxseed and Lindseed oil. I don’t have time to wait for a lindseed oil to come in, can I just buy flaxseed oil from the grocery store and use that? It’s basically the same, right?
anyone have mildew problems with linseed oil on raised beds? I live in the pnw and my research indicates that linseed oil can act as food for mildew.
Is it a waterproofing agent? Also can you apply it with a paint brush or do you suggest using a cloth...
I've been looking around and Linseed oil isn't water resistant nor mould resistant. Tung oil is both water & mould resistant but a fair bit more expensive.
Shellac and tung oil are weatherproof.
Hi! Why is raw better than boiled linseed oil? Please share your expertise
He answered that question in his video, raw linseed oil has no chemical additives and is all natural versus boiled linseed oil may contain added chemicals.
