    Making wooden planters using deck boards

    I have just had a new deck and have some left over as well as other wood from fence posts etc. I had considered donating it to a local place that makes things out of, e.g. pallets, but I think, instead, I would like to try to make (or have made for me) some wooden planters or raised beds. I think I read somewhere that you have to be careful what wood you use if planting edible plants so would stick with flowers or something.

    So, I am asking, how feasible would it be. I have the option of asking a joiner to do it for me and, having looked at the cost of such planters, it might be a good option.

      Have you thought about having a go at making them yourself minuet?
