Re: DIY Window box / garden planter..

[quote=Jez;477173]Also a concern for me to Phil! Even though I plan to fill mine with plants I'd like to know if the wood is treated against rain and damp soil. I think to play safe I'm going to line mine, stain and varnish![/QUO

I would line any container as it stops the compost drying out too quick and if used for annuals then I would not put any drainage holes in the bottom again to save on watering do this in summer not winter as the plants will rot.
