Something to do during dreary winters, or year round

more concrete block planters :

site prep

molds set off-center to adjust to alternate pattern(which adds stability) of block layout.

to seal the holes of top blocks, pour a bit of cement over a sheet of plastic

the blocks inverted

slather the tops and sides with tan concrete icing to finish the cake, then stuff the void with as much organic matter(weeds/thorny brambles/twiggies/kitchen refuse). Economical since it fills the bottom and skimps on having to buy extra soil-mix bags to be used as topsoil

then top it off with friable soil mix and drench with water to percolate downwards and fill empty packets.

the final products with lemon grass, okra, egyptian spinach, and mexican green onions/chives
