So, don't let it be a place holder too long!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12629439279545629954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138796585948849623.post-21318916647440408602008-10-30T19:15:00.000-07:002008-10-30T19:15:00.000-07:00Thanks for the reference.

He has super ideas with lots of drama in his wall planters.compost in my shoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06572258657523962702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138796585948849623.post-21471143845050257152008-10-29T20:08:00.000-07:002008-10-29T20:08:00.000-07:00Phil, It drains through a slot way down at the bot...Phil, It drains through a slot way down at the bottom on the far back side. We had a hard rain several days ago, and after that I could see that the drainage was working because some red dust off the lava rocks was washing out. Thanks for stopping by and taking a close look.Muddy Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03962465155331472873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9138796585948849623.post-29135253962211142382008-10-29T15:57:00.000-07:002008-10-29T15:57:00.000-07:00Great job on describing the construction of the pl...Great job on describing the construction of the planter and planting it. I was trying to figure out if the drainage hole came out on top of the gray concrete or below it. If to drains across you will have to figure out a way to keep the water from staining the concrete and becoming unsightly. Again good job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
