Depending on your space purchase as many bags of soil as you think you may need

puncture holes in one side for drainage

the other side slit the top open to plant your plants

Have fun and plant whatever you want.

This method is really AWESOME for people who live in an area where the soil is really bad! HAVE FUN and HAPPY GARDENING!!!!!!!
