Woodworking projects for indoor use. That really means they can be a bit larger and the finish will be suitable to outdoor use.

- Raised bed planter

This is another very simple project. You can build it from recycled wood, e.g. pallets, but I used treated decking board and timber because it was going to be outside and exposed to moisture due to watering the plants. The weed control fabric helps keep the soil in and the roots warm in the winter. You can use plastic sheeting but make sure you add some drainage holes in it at the bottom. I built this planter about ten years ago and it is still going very strong. I use it to grow herbs in.

This is really a simple project you can easily build it from reclaimed/recycled materials. It makes a real impact to a front approach. Think of it as a combination between a hanging basket and a wood-carved door number
