My boyfriend Todd was the mastermind and carpenter for both planters. I really like the first one's recycled look too. We did discuss the practicality of having legs and a bottom on the first box - at the time we did want to be able to move it next year, though definitely not with all the dirt in there! It takes four people to move it when it's completely empty. But, as it turns out we may not need to move it after all. Oh well. It is pretty nice to have a planter that I don't really have to weed since it is entirely filled with compost and clean top soil... plus we can work on the plants standing up which is great for our backs :) We still have a lot to learn w/ gardening but it's been pretty satisfying so far!

LOVE both the planters... though i wonder why the first guy wanted a bottom on his planter? surely it can't be moved... at least not once it is filled? whatever... it is very attractive... i also like the way he didn't try to disguise the recycled planks with paint... but, of course, i do love junk. anyhow... both depths would be handy at my house... your newly planted elevated bed looks wonderful... am so glad you've discovered the fun of gardening... !
