Keeping this in view, should I line a wooden planter?A wooden box may need drainage holes, depending on how porous it is without them. Line your planter boxes porous landscape fabric. The goal here is not to prevent the wood from getting wet—that’s impossible in outdoor settings—but rather to prevent the potting soil from directly contacting the wood.Subsequently, question is, does water penetrate landscape fabric? Moisture Matters The felted side helps water move through the fabric into the soil. If you lay it down upside down, moisture will still penetrate the fabric but at a slower rate than expected. Not all landscape fabric has a shiny side. Correspondingly, what should I line a wooden planter with? Line the entire planter with a sheet of plastic, trimming it so that it reaches but does not go over the rim. Staple the plastic all the way around the rim. Using a screwdriver or sharp stick, poke through the drilled drainage holes to let excess water drain out of the plastic liner.What to fill large planters with?If you have an especially big planter to fill, light, bulky materials are your best bet. Examples include plastic drink containers, milk jugs, crushed soda cans, foam packing materials and plastic or foam take-out containers.
