That little herb box is only 8'x8"x8" and it works great. Last summer I had three rosemary plants, two basil plants, thyme, a ton of green onions, and dill in it. Obviously the plants would get bigger with more room, but 8" is plenty deep. It requires watering every other day in the summer. I don't mind it though because we use the herbs a lot and it just means we can keep fertilizing them ha.

I keep mint separate just because it takes over everything.

You just saved me a little money. I was thinking of using 1x12’s. Now I’m gonna use 1x10’s.

My wife saw this picture one day and said “build dat.” So I’ll give it my best shot.


Hopefully this doesn’t turn out like one of those Pinterest fails.

Do you have trouble with flea beetles getting in those marigolds? When I planted them in my garden, I had a booming flea beetle factory.
