Garden Reuse: Make a Planter Wall from Discarded Cinder Blocks
This beautiful, functional idea comes via Annette at Potted. She built a low wall from cinder blocks, attaching them to each other with a weather-safe adhesive. The blocks are lined with wire hardware cloth, then a layer of broken block covers the hardware cloth to keep the soil in each section. She has planted the wall with succulents, which makes since because this would probably dry out fairly quickly. I can also see it planted up with Mediterranean herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, and oregano, which prefer things a bit on the dry side.
I have the space all set. The plants chosen. Can anyone drop off some FREE blocks?
