DIY Old Log Planters for a Colorful Garden

A log planter is a type of gardening container made by hollowing out a log,

It can be used to grow a variety of plants, including flowers, herbs, and small shrubs, and is often used for decorative purposes. Log planters offer a natural look and are a sustainable alternative to traditional plant containers.

Here’s how to make your own DIY log flower planter for your garden:

• Choose a log: Look for a log that is the right size for your desired planter and has a straight edge on the top.
• Cut the log: Use a saw to cut the log to the desired length for your planter.
• Hollow out the log: Use a drill and a large wood-boring bit to hollow out the center of the log. Make sure to drill evenly and stop when you have reached the desired depth.
• Sand the edges: Use sandpaper to smooth out the edges and surface of the log.
• Seal the log: Use a wood sealant to protect the log from moisture and decay.
• Drill drainage holes: Use a drill and a smaller bit to make holes in the bottom of the log for water drainage.
• Fill with soil: Fill the hollowed-out log with soil and plant your flowers or herbs.
• Place in your garden: Put the log planter in your desired location in your garden, patio, or balcony.
