Building a gabion-style outdoor plant box is a creative and durable way to enhance your garden. Here’s a simple guide to help you create one:
1. Gather Materials: You’ll need wire mesh panels, galvanized wire, stones or pebbles, and a sturdy base (optional).
2. Construct the Frame: Shape the wire mesh into a rectangular or square box, securing the edges with galvanized wire. Reinforce the corners for stability.
3. Fill with Stones: Carefully place stones or pebbles inside the mesh structure, ensuring even distribution for a balanced look.
4. Add Soil and Plants: Once filled, line the interior with landscape fabric to retain soil. Add potting mix and your favorite plants.
5. Maintain: Water plants as needed and occasionally check the mesh for wear.
This gabion plant box is not only functional but also adds a rustic, modern touch to any outdoor space. Customize it with different stone colors or sizes for a unique look!
