Yes, I generally recommend using a liner inside wooden urban planter boxes. While wood offers a natural, aesthetic appeal, it is susceptible to constant moisture from soil and watering. A liner acts as a protective barrier, significantly extending the lifespan of your planter by preventing rot and decay. It also helps contain the soil and prevents staining from tannins in woods like cedar or redwood. However, proper drainage is non-negotiable. Always ensure your liner has adequate holes or slits at the bottom that align with drainage holes in the wooden box itself. This prevents waterlogging, which is crucial for healthy plant roots. For materials, consider flexible pond liners, heavy-duty plastic sheeting, or even landscape fabric. Avoid completely sealing the wood; some breathability is good. Ultimately, a well-chosen liner strikes the perfect balance between protecting your investment and creating a healthy environment for your urban garden to thrive.
