In reply to Jeanette. Build your own. Much cheaper and you get the size you want. I built two for my wife out of cedar and they turned out great.

In reply to Jeanette. I paid 37.00 for 8 ft. window boxes. I went to an unfished wood furniture store in Falmouth Mass. I would also hunt for pots, planting materials in discount stores. At the Christmas Store in Sandwich Mass. coconut matts were selling for 2.29 a piece.....I don't know where you are from but I would check out those types of stores for a deal.

Currently it sounds like Expression Engine is the preferred blogging platform out there right now.
(from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?

First off I want to say excellent blog! I
had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your mind before writing.
I’ve had a tough time clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.
I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to
15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or tips?
Thanks!

Hi, I looked up tips for flower boxes and found your site. What a lovely home you have!!
Re: the flower boxes…I just bought two large plastic ones. Would you line the bottom with just rocks, or would you add anything else in there before the soil? (e.g. plastic, coco?)
Thanks for sharing this post – you explained it so clearly.

I ran across an idea a couple of years ago. After the holes are in the bottom, I open up an unused baby diaper and cut so it lays semi-flat in the bottom of the box. It absorbs water and releases back into the soil throughout the day. Plants love it. I live in a low humidity area and I was having to water twice a day to keep anything alive before the diaper. Now it is once a day or every other day. I have changed the soil out yearly but the diaper lives on!

In reply to shavonda@ahomefullofcolor. Yes! So jealous that you live in a climate that can handle succulents as window box plants. Sounds so beautiful!

In reply to Robyn. Those dang squirrels! They are the worst! I don't know the best way, they have natural animal repellents at the garden store. I've been using one that is basically dried up bovine blood, but it's been keeping the rabbits away. I would start there.

How can I keep squirrels out of my flower boxes? I planted geraniums in my flower boxes two years ago and the darn squirrels had it all dug up in no time!

In reply to Scoops.

That would be awesome if you got back to me — thanks!!
Now that you mention it, I have come across a few DIY window box tutorials on Pinterest recently. I would definitely try my hand at that for the sake of saving money. But like Rachel commented below, I’m also a bit hesitant to drill into my siding! :-/

In reply to Kristy. Hey Kristy, Glad to hear this post could help. I would drill holes through the wood and the liner, so that the moisture can drain our. This is my 5th season with my wooden window boxes and they are still holding up great using this method. I don't know how long they were on the house before this, but I imagine awhile - let me know if you need more info :)
