This DIY raised planter is fully made out of cinder blocks! These blocks are staked and then filled with dirt and rock. Traditionally you would pour a concrete footing and then stack the block, I wanted to see if it would work with rock and block adhesive. I love how it turned out and so far its doing amazing. If I were in a more wet area I would have installed a drain, we are in a pretty dry area and this dirt is mostly granite, clay and rock. I have found there isn't much settling that occurs in this area.
