Smart Container Planting - Garden Sail and Dragon fruit trellis - Part 1
I used two 3/4 wine barrel for the garden sails, and left over redwood post for my dragonfruit trellis! Wood is really expensive these days and need to make sure I use every bit of it without waste! I am not affiliated and do not gain anything if you choose to use the links or not. Just sharing my building journey as someone new to gardening and woodworking (and don't have a trunk to load lumbers and too cheap to pay for delivery). Yes I will love to be sponsored lol! Wood is expensive! Material: i) Two Red wood posts, each cut into 2 pieces. The short end is about 30 inch (as my car can only fit 66 inch max). ii) Weed blocker, twine, stable gun to tie/secure iii) Post cement or equivalent (any brand, you need about 2 bags) I chose Post cement as no mixing / stirring required (no mess). https://www.homedepot.com/p/SAKRETE-5... iv) Mask (cement particles) v) Post cap I use the cheapest one I could find in Home Depot. https://www.homedepot.com/p/4-in-x-4-... vi) The black plastic tube called "Riser Pipe" from the plumbing section Way cheaper than those cement paper thing! (Even the staff could not believe in the price!) I even got an extra one stand by at home in case I will ever need another one in the future (inflation is crazy. I bought screws within weeks apart and it increased by $5!) https://www.homedepot.com/p/IPEX-6-in... vii) Wine Barrel Wheels for wine barrel. I got the "pre-wheeled" wine barrel from FB Marketplace. Check out my other video if you want to see some suggestions. You 100% want a non-fixed as those will be impossible heavy. Optional: 1) You can use some flex seal / plasti dip cover the top of the concrete if it bothers you. They have it in black so it matches in color. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Plasti-Di... 2) Wood Stain for equivalent for protection. I would probably not do it on my trellis as I am growing food it in! I am using TWP HoneyTone to match my fence Part 1: • Smart Container Planting - Garden Sai...
