After being scattered in pots in my yard, it was finally time to do something. It seems like I’m always working in my yard, and my biggest challenge is decluttering. So I decided to help the plant pot situation by building a plant shelf.
Build Your Own Plant Shelf
I love the idea of a place to store and organize all my little potted plants. I also wanted something to help fill in the space between my sliding door and where the wall mounted hose is. For some reason, this little section of my yard always seemed messy and incomplete. But once the plant stand is built and established, it finally looks finished.
Diy Plant Stand Ideas For Your Houseplants
1. Start with the sides and frame. Place the 2×2s and attach 3 of the 12″ 1×2s. I placed them 1″ up at the bottom and 3″ down at the top, and centered the center piece. After both sides are built, attach 3 32.5″ 1×2s to the back as pictured.
2. Next, attach the 32.5″ 1×3s to the back. This will serve as a rail for the shelf.
3. Now start adding the 12 1×3 shelf boards. I used 4 of each shelf and another piece of 3/8″ wide scrap wood to space them out evenly. Be sure to start from the front blade and then work your way back.
4. I added the shelf boards first with the top shelf, then the bottom shelf and finally the middle shelf.

5. Finally, add 2 12 3/4″ 1×2 to the top. This will act as a handle while also giving it a more finished look. Then I added the last 6 12″ 1×2s to each end of the shelf as shown.
1. Before painting, be sure to sand all rough edges and clean off any excess dust.
3. Spray the stand, more details and tips on how to do this can be found here on Wagner’s blog.
4. Once the paint is dry, finish the plant stand with a sealer. The Detail Finish nozzle on the Wagner Flexio 3000 sprayer works great for this.
Freestanding Plant Shelf
5. Finally, it’s time to set up your new plant shelf! As I mentioned earlier, it’s on a small wall between my sliding door and our hose. It works great for hiding some extra plumbing, electrical, and overall the wall feels finished.
As you can see I’m going for a neutral look with my pots! I’ve slowly moved on to have my pots white, cement gray or rustic terracotta. But for under $40, this plant shelf has been an amazing addition to my garden. More importantly, finishing with the Wagner Flexio 3000 Sprayer made painting and sealing much easier.

There are so many varieties of houseplants that the possibilities of using them to decorate your space are endless.
However, displaying plants can be difficult. Everyone needs a pot, and usually they need a window.
A plant stand can be used to display indoor plants or as an accent piece in an outdoor space.
Diy Outdoor Plant Stand With Arbor
There are many ideas for DIY plant stands: metal, wood, concrete or any material can be used to make them.
Plant stands usually display potted plants. The plants are usually filled with dirt and the plants are planted directly in the dirt.
If you want to update them, you can always use spray paint to give something a completely new look before putting in a plant or two.
Tiered plants are another easy DIY. They are popular because they allow you to display several plants at the same time.

Also, keep in mind that the plants on the lower shelves may not have as much access to sunlight and plan your plants on that shelf accordingly.

Year Round Indoor Salad Gardening

Release Date : 2015

ISBN :
Description : The Low-Tech, No-Grow-Lights Approach to Abundant Harvest Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening offers good news: with nothing more than a cupboard and a windowsill, you can grow all the fresh salad greens you need for the winter months (or throughout the entire year) with no lights, no pumps, and no greenhouse. Longtime gardener Peter Burke was tired of the growing season ending with the first frost, but due to his busy work schedule and family life, didn't have the time or interest in high-input grow lights or greenhouses. Most techniques for growing what are commonly referred to as "microgreens" left him feeling overwhelmed and uninterested. There had to be a simpler way to grow greens for his family indoors. After some research and diligent experimenting, Burke discovered he was right--there was a way! And it was even easier than he ever could have hoped, and the greens more nutrient packed. He didn't even need a south-facing window, and he already had most of the needed supplies just sitting in his pantry. The result: healthy, homegrown salad greens at a fraction of the cost of buying them at the market. The secret: start them in the dark. Growing "Soil Sprouts"--Burke's own descriptive term for sprouted seeds grown in soil as opposed to in jars--employs a method that encourages a long stem without expansive roots, and provides delicious salad greens in just seven to ten days, way earlier than any other method, with much less work. Indeed, of all the ways to grow immature greens, this is the easiest and most productive technique. Forget about grow lights and heat lamps! This book is a revolutionary and inviting guide for both first-time and experienced gardeners in rural or urban environments. All you need is a windowsill or two. In fact, Burke has grown up to six pounds of greens per day using just the windowsills in his kitchen! Year-Round Indoor Salad Gardening offers detailed step-by-step instructions to mastering this method (hint: it's impossible not to succeed, it's so easy!), tools and accessories to have on hand, seeds and greens varieties, soil and compost, trays and planters, shelving, harvest and storage, recipes, scaling up to serve local markets, and much more....
