Today I went to Home Depot. $300 for the supplies I wanted for my raised beds:( I went to the Salvation Army, bought a white dresser for $20! Pulled out all four drawers for raised beds, then pulled the front off the dresser for one larger raised bed. It looks respectable and I don't have the guilt or empty pockets that the first option would've cost.
Wouldn't these get moldy after a few times watering plants? If so, is mold okay for flowers? I'm guessing probably not good for edible things like veggies....
Damn! I had a dresser that i have been trying to give away. Someone took out all the drawers which now ibaee would have worked perfectly for the pumpkin starts i just got

I would love to see the final effect once all the plants were thriving!
Really like your ideas and your Planters thank you for sharing
Great idea. The drawers sure do make cute little raised beds :)
+Sunny Hilltop They were fun to create! We hope you give it a try. Thanks for watching!
Line the draws with plastic with drainage holes at the bottom and the wood will last a season or two longer
Two months later, drainage good, bare root rubbish, strawberry from garden centre ✌️
Thank you so much for this. This really helped!!!

is there any way to make drawers & dressers food-safe for growing veggies?
I'm thinking fabric liner
never pick yellow, it confuses bees
Would the glue keep from draining ?
I have a dresser that's on its way to the dump. I'm sure it's particle board, so that means I can't use it at all?
You could probably use it for one year, until the damp causes it to fall apart. You wouldn't want to grow vegetables in there, though.
Damn!

I know how you feel! I gave away a dresser and was like that would have been perfect for making a DIY project! Didn’t think of it.
Using furniture, is the chemicals in treated wood leaching into the plants not a concern? I was considering a dresser
Would of been nice to seethe end result😮
You can see it planted out here: ruclips.net/video/1Su7niM03CI/видео.htmlsi=WlwHv5GqNI5agEOG :)
Surely you wouldn't try to grow vegetables in painted beds like this, right?
my questions as well. THe wood has chemicals in it right?
I think it's best to line with plastic bags and no paint if your growing food
A woman that can use a drill is super hot....lol
Too much talking. Not enough showing
