Hello all,
I'm new to gardening and new to the forum. I have been learning quite a bit reading through the forum topics. Thanks for the site and sharing all of your knowledge.
I want to use some planter boxes as a "green roof" over the firewood rack I'm building. I have some old wooden crates that I'd like to use for the planter boxes. They were free, very sturdy and have a great "rustic" look to them that I like... But, I need a way to water proof the inside of the boxes to prevent rot and keep my firewood dry.
I'm looking for some suggestions on what I could use to seal the inside of the boxes that would be safe to eat any veggies we grow in them.
I have a plan for drainage, so that shouldn't be an issue.
In the flower planter boxes that I've seen built, they used roofing tar to seal the insides of the boxes to avoid rot. But something tells me I might not want to eat veggies grown in a bed of roofing tar...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
