Creating an outdoor plant box from a repurposed duct is a creative and sustainable way to enhance your garden. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you craft this unique DIY project.

Materials Needed:

- An old metal or plastic duct (clean and free of rust)

- Drill with metal/plastic bits

- Screws or strong adhesive

- Landscape fabric or mesh

- Potting soil and plants of your choice

Steps:

1. Clean and Prepare the Duct: Remove any debris or rust from the duct. If using metal, sand rough edges to avoid injuries.

2. Create Drainage Holes: Drill small holes at the bottom of the duct to allow water drainage.

3. Line the Interior: Place landscape fabric inside to prevent soil from escaping while retaining moisture.

4. Fill with Soil: Add potting soil, leaving enough space for your plants’ roots.

5. Plant and Arrange: Add your chosen plants, ensuring they have enough room to grow.

This upcycled plant box is perfect for herbs, flowers, or succulents. It’s a budget-friendly and eco-conscious addition to any outdoor space!
