LARGE 8 FT. TRUG PLANTER PLANS
Need to grow more
vegetables? Maybe you just
like BIG. This larger version of
the trug planter is for the
serious gardeners. The project
is a bit more challenging than
the 5 ft. planter, but with the
detailed instructions each step
will be explained.
Consideration should be made
where to place this behemoth,
because once it’s full of dirt it’s
going to stay put.
95” x 39” wide x 32” tall.
The planters are the perfect height and depth!
How to Build a Raised Garden Trug Planter
Huge raised garden bed design! These trug-shaped planters have
plenty of room for growing vegetables, herbs, or flowers. No more
bending over! You can build it yourself and be the envy of all your
gardening neighbors. The downloadable woodworking plans read like a
book. A craftsman will take you step by step through construction with
easy to follow diagrams and photos at every step along the way. Plans
include at least 50 pages of full color photos and DIY instructions.
The design is similar to the popular Veg-Trug planter, but this
planter is even better with an X-shaped, sturdy frame. There are no
nails. Everything is screwed and bolted construction.
The instructional guides show you how to build each planter out of
long-lasting treated lumber, but you can also make it out of
standard lumber and paint it if you’d like. Nice!
Raised Bed Gardening
Raised bed gardening is an effective and efficient way to grow
vegetables and herbs. The soil conditions can be controlled much
easier, and you don’t have the compaction you find in the ground. This
allows roots to grow quickly in a well-drained and loose environment.
Elevated garden beds allow you to fertilize and remove weeds easier
too. Those with little room for an actual garden will find raised beds a
useful alternative. Those gardeners with disabilities can enjoy
gardening with a raised garden too. Kneeling and bending over is
eliminated, so your back will thank you!
Downloadable woodworking plans include
pictures and easy to follow instructions.
The plans read like a book, with actual
construction photos explained in detail at
every step. Material and tool lists
included. Plans are in PDF format and can
viewed on your computer or you can print
them on 8.5 x 11 paper.
