This Dollar Tree Storage Solution Makes The Perfect Planter
By SARA HALCUMB
Buying enough planters for all your indoor or outdoor plants can add up to a hefty sum, which might be better spent on purchasing your plants. Dollar Tree has a better solution.
With minimal effort, Flexible Plastic Storage Tubs with Handles from Dollar Tree can be turned into planters, and at a cost of only $1.25 each, you can buy as many as you need.
These large round tubs are made of lightweight plastic, measure 14 ¼ x 9 ¾ inches, and come in white, gray, or blue. You’ll just need to make drainage holes in the bottom.
Next, line your tubs with cardboard, weed barrier fabric, and dried leaves so you don't have to buy as much soil. Finally, add commercial potting mix that's made for containers.
