I'm sure you have heard of the excitement of having your own concrete planters in your backyard, but what about how to make them yourself? That's right! Making your own concrete plants can be a great way to add some personal touches to your outdoor space. First things first, it's important to know that making concrete plants requires a variety of materials such as sand, cement, water, and an earthy substance like compost or soil. You'll also need access to equipment such as a hand tools such as a sander, chisel, and a hammer. Here are some steps to help you get started: 1. Gather materials: Start by gathering all the necessary materials. Sand is needed for shaping the ground into the base of the planters, while cement and water are needed for setting the foundation. 2. Crush the sand: Place the sand on a big, flat surface such as a hard surface or a clean, dry sandpit. It's essential to use a texture-resistant sand, such as sandpaper or recycled sand. 3. Build the planting structure: Using a mallet, level the ground so that the sand is evenly distributed. Then, place a block of or other material between the two sides of the planters. This will help provide a sturdy foundation for the planters. 4. Install the soil: Apply enough water to the soil around the planting structure to create a level surface. Add any required nutrients and mulch to the top of the soil to prevent weeds from growing. 5. Fill the planters: Fill each planter with a sufficient amount of soil based on the recommended size and depth. Use a chisel to cut out the edges of the soil, leaving enough space for the concrete plants to grow. 6. Gradually cover the soil: Once the soil has been fully filled, gradually cover the planters with more soil until they are covered completely. Be careful not to overload the planters too much, as this could damage the planters over time. 7. Wind down the planters: After covering the planters with soil, wait for several days before starting watering or finishing up withding. This will help to prevent the plants from overwatering or dying early on. 8. Rebuild the planters: When the planters are fully covered with soil, gently build the base of the planters using new or cement. This will help to stabilize the planters and protect them from corrosion.
