Jasmine into skip-raid planter

A few weeks ago I made a skip-raid planter but didn't get round to planting the Jasmine. Now I've stocked up on B&Q's cheap peat-free compost it's time to finish the job...

There she goes. I've got some Pansies grown from seed from a planter outside daughter's school. Will put them around the base of the Jasmine when they are big enough...

Skip-raid planter

Found some timber in a skip the other day, luckily all the same length 8x2 offcuts. What to do with them though? How about a planter!

Simply drilled pilot holes and screwed four together to make a case...

Repeat for the second layer, then use a few old scraps of offcuts to make the base...

Gave the base and bottom layer a coat of creocote to aid preservation. Timber was already tanalised, but as planter will be full of soil wanted to be sure it wouldn't rot too quickly.

Both layers pinned together with a few more scraps of wooden batons, top finished off with some spare decking.

Job done! Will fill the planter with soil when I get round to it. Jasmine has found a new home...
