Question by Drew2169T: How to build a box or shed for plants?
I would like grow a few plants in a box with lighting and ventilation. I would like it to be around 5′ by 5′ by 3′. I was going to use plywood ( compressed ) but idk if i should add some 2 X4′s or something like that. I also need to install a small fan and possibly a shelf. Any tips?

cant guide u on construction details from here,but..5x5x3 is a large volume of soil,and even heavier when wet…u will have to build support frame work,and also line/paint the box with a waterproof membrane and add drainage holes.without these 3 basics you r destined to fail..good luck

Many people besides me are losing potted plants because of all the rain we are getting. Can’t bring them inside & have no patio overhang for them. How can I keep them dry when it rains so much?
