  • Self Watering Planter from April Issue

    My wife accidently threw out my April copy of The Family Handyman. I was intending to build the raised self watering cedar planter but now now longer have the plans and cannot seem to locate the DIY article online. Is there somewhere I can find this article? The May issue stated I could download the Family Handyman on my iPad and pull up the articles but could not locate the app either.

    My husband built this garden exactly as directed.  We love it!!

    We purchased a rain barrel to water it and flower gardens, shrubs, potted plants.  The rain barrel will be used very little on this raised bed as it has been holding water just as described in the article.   

    This is our first vegetable garden and it is "thriving" with little care and no bending!

    Can't wait for you to have it up on the site so I can share the plans with friends online.

    I built it out of scrap I had left over from a loft I disassembled.  It is incredible!  Tomatoes beginning to ripen!!

    I still haven't been able to find this article from the April issue and I apparently left my April 2012 issue on the plane!  Any idea when this is going to be available?

    I was planning to have a kitchen garden for my new home and surfing the net when I  found this post. The rain barrel to store water seems a good idea. I was planning to have sprinklers, but now I wont need it. Thanx for the article.
