Can't believe DH actually made this for me, I'm blown away! It's treated lumber, and he stapled screen in the bottom, which is treated plywood, drilled many holes. I have some vague ideas about proceeding from this point, but wanted to solicit input from people who have done this before, or just have an idea to consider.
It seems like if I fill this with 50 pounds of moist soil, it's going to rot too soon. Of course it's not going to be sopping wet, and I'm pretty sure I'll keep it inside so squirrels, storms, or whatever don't mess it up. I will be watering the plants with a squirt bottle because they are mostly succulents, tiny ones, and "regular size" drops of water will mess up the details when I get it all together.
Any thoughts welcome! TIA for your time and effort!!!!
