3. Planter Box Rack

For this project you need a good saw, power drill and 2" screw. Other are measuring tape, pencil, scrapped wood and planter box. You can use nail instead of screw if you do not have a power drill.

On the wood which the planter box is seated, I use a double screw to secure the wood.

On the wood which is to sandwich the planter box, I use a single screw so that I can unscrew it anytime to release the planter box.

If the wood splits when you screwing it, just use another screw to secure the split from the side.

Angles to show how it was fixed.

Another angle.

One part of the wood cannot be screw tight, I just left it as it is, this is when the 2" screw comes handy.

Add extra piece of wood to secure the planter box. (Optional)

Wooden Cantilevel for Flower Pot

Cantilevel attached to your column to increase your growing space.

1. You need wood of 1" x 2" and wooden strip use for ceiling.

You need these. You can use nails and hammer for this project depending on how you start the assembling part.

Measure the column size and determine the length of the cantilever. Note* you need to leave a 1cm gap for the width of the column size.

Make pilot holes before you screw in to prevent splits and to make screwing easier.

This is how it is assemble.

Marked the parts to avoid mix up.

Strat the assembling, using screw and power tool  it easier.

That 1 cm gap is to use for fitting in a piece of wood acting as a wedge to tighten the grip around the column.

Single screw is enough to fasten the rest of  smaller wood.

Long piece of wood used as wedge to hold the cantilever tight.

Use a leveller to balance the position.

If you notice, you did not drill any holes into concrete column.

How heavy the pot you can put on this cantilever? You just need to test them out..

Noni (Mengkudu) Wood Smoking Pipe

Harvested the tree trunk, left it to dry slowly. Patiently select the right wood size, boring the holes and fit it at the right angle.

Not that I am a smoker, just want to put it to good use. Can call it a Healthy Smoking Pipe :)

Pot Stool or Garden Stool.

To elevate my Kucai.

All are scrapped woods. Some good and some just ok..

The bottom bar, used 2 pieces instead of 1, because I ran out of the 1'x 2' wood. 

Using the thinner wood to nail together the top piece to the legs.

How it look like from the bottom.

One of the not so okay piece cracked. Used to nails to hold the cracked piece in place.

Simple Stacking Planter Box

Very simple and cheap project. Just 5 pots on top of one another with cable tie to hold them in place.

Total cost less the RM12 (Pot @ RM2.12 each, Cable ties, Screws) * assuming the wood/stick is free.

View from the back.

Using 2 wood/stick as legs to support the back. Use screw to set them in place.

Drill holes where you think is best for the cable ties.

As usual. Wood can crack easily. Nevertheless, you can prevent this by drilling a hole onto the wood before screwing it.

*Noted. The planting medium should be light weight. Am using 50% cocopeat, 30% soil, 10% sand, 10% (biochar,compost,rock mineral).
