New Big Long Planter for Carport

The last project I did, which took to long and wore me out, was adding a big flower planter to the end of the carport. I am going to try and get some small trees and plant in the planter and they can grow up tall enough to cover the carport from the street. hat way i gives you a little bit of privacy.

The planter is about 8 feet long x 2 feet wide (inside area) x 2 feet tall




Filled in enough dirt to get it ready for plants

This past weekend I went and cut down some bamboo from a another East Nashville house. Very nice guy and very nice house. The BamBoo was harder then I thought to cut down. BamBoo roots move around and just about all stocks are tied together. Almost like a spider web type because 1 stock may have 1 or 4 different roots going off of it and tied with other stocks. I spent 2 hours getting enough for what I needed. Now done, well we will see how the BamBoo does in the planter. If it dies I will have to think of something else. Also I still had to add 15-40 Lbs bags of soil, good thing Home Depot had it on sale for $1 each. (3-27-10)
