PLANTS IN CINDER BLOCKS: WHAT WORKS BEST?

Cinder block planters are an inexpensive way to fill your garden with plants. As you can probably imagine, some plants work better than others.

So, on that note, here are some of the best cinder block plants to use in your garden.

The arrangement and style of your cinder block planter might impact what you can plant in it, but this is a good enough estimate to work with.

Getting Started with Plants in Cinder Blocks

Strawberries

Strawberries make great cinder block plants because they don’t need loads of room to grow. What’s more, as they send out their runners, you can fill up the rest of the planter.

Herbs

Not all herbs work well as plants in cinder blocks, but there are enough that we can group them together. The best are: -Cilantro -Marjoram -Dill

Arugula

Arugula is happy in confined spaces, so a cinder block is pretty much perfect. Plus, each plant is fairly small, so it’s easy to use them as plants in cinder blocks.

Carrots

Just focus on smaller carrot varieties, such as Chantenay, and you shouldn’t have any problem growing them in cinder blocks.

Petunias

Petunias are great plants in cinder blocks because they’re easy to grow and don’t need loads of root space. If grown in the equivalent of a 6-inch pot, you shouldn’t expect them to get too big.
