She drills 19 holes into a flower box– now look at the results 5 months later

Isn’t there something particularly satisfying about build something with your own hands?

While spring is still several weeks away, watching this project made has me really looking forward to replanting my garden.

The best part of the below project is you don’t really need much prior experience in gardening at all to succeed with it. Just follow the simple instructions, and it will go splendidly.

I know it would certainly look great in my home. 

To start, you need a wooden box, like the one pictured above. Start by drilling about 5 cm large holes. The distance between the holes should be approximately 15 cm.

Note: The holes in the box can make the soil dries up easily, so make sure to water every day. A little organic fertilizer once a week will also help.

Here are the flowers May 20:

“It was a really hot summer and the leaves were very green and beautiful, but no flowers,” says the gardener. “It took some bug spray, but then the flowers came back.”
