Como construir una mesa de cultivo DIY para huerto urbano | Español

Mar 21, 2024
very good morning, thank you very much for being here with us once again, domestic survivors, on this occasion what we bring you is how to build an urban garden or a growing table or a large pot that is elevated and this pot is not going to be for This house is going to be for my grandmother's house. My grandmother has a small balcony and she has always wanted to grow some plants, so she goes with pots, but of course the best thing would be to raise it off the ground so that she could work more comfortably and not have We had to bend down so much, so we started to look, we saw about the cultivation tables and we are going to make a cultivation table and well, out there on the Internet you see that there are many people who do this with recycled wood.

On this occasion, due to lack of time, we have decided. reuse these woods that we had at home cut them a little to size and thus save a little time because the idea is that my grandmother went out for a few days and we want to surprise her when she returns so we need to save time and that is why we are going to build it with practically new wood but everyone can build it however they want, building a growing table is something quite simple, it is about building a wooden box without a lid and putting some legs on it.

What we have done is cut these two sides here and others there two longer sides that will cover these things. What we are going to do and what you have to do in principle is to try to make sure that all the weight falls on the base. It is very simple to build these urban gardens, our cultivation tables, which would be their real name. But you have to know a few small things to look at when we build a pot the entire weight of the soil which is quite a lot because immediately there are also quite a few liters of soil or kilos although it is measured in liters all the weight falls on the base what we are going to do is install the legs directly on the base, what many people do is install the legs on the sides so that all the weight falls on the base and they also hold the base in this way so all the weight falls vertically on these sides and the screws that They are pointing the base suffer a lot.

The best way to do this is to use one of these tables to plant things that will support a lot of weight with the earth. The best way is to put the legs directly under the base so that the four legs will directly support all the weight. weight of the earth without depending on any screw or any nail and then the walls instead of putting them outside so that they can support the weight so it is better to put them on top supporting them from below we are going to build it and this way you can see it better whenever I have to have a box that has right angles, what I like to use is this type of jack that I bought on Amazon.

I leave you the link in the description box and see how easy it is to use. The only thing we have to do is open this piece enough to fit the wood and also this other one, once they are open, what we do is place them here and tighten these data again. What we have to do is make these woods fit. Come closer as I told you, the only thing you have to do is now adjust these woods and when they are adjusted, tighten these screws very tightly in this way, as you can see, the angle will be perfect and like this for the rest of the angles, once we have all the two positions, it should look like this and now the only thing we have to do is screw the upper part onto the upper part. top because then we will turn it over we will put this one back and screw we have the other part the option that we chose to screw are these small screws that do not even need to drill this so that the wood does not break after removing these jacks now we had put and turn it over to remove the data you simply have to release it and they are removed before turning it over, especially if you are alone and even if you are accompanied by recommended it is best to put this but adjust it too much at the bottom so that when you turn it over it does not burst all morning and now if once we have put the squares in one part we can turn it over carefully but without danger of it joining and breaking everything now even though we already have the jacks in place what we are going to do is adjust them as we have adjusted before those of the other part, first we loosen them a little and now we adjust the woods the first part as the bottom could move and the woods are a little bent it has been quite easy in this one you have to use a little more force but it's not going to be too difficult either.
The side you have to press first is the side that squares. If this line squares, you have to press this side first. This side is the one that controls the part, let's say vertical, and this is going to be the one that controls the part. horizontal now, look, we use force, we put the wood together and we tighten this part as much as we can. This way we can put the screw and the square will look quite good if like me or if you have squared yourself a little, what you can do is loosen this side and go back Let's play with it and again once the squares secure the angles of the growing table we are going to proceed to put a few small screws in total.
As you can see we have put a screw at the top, a screw at the bottom and we are going to put a screw in the central part With this we would have the option of if we had taken a screw a little thicker than this one, trust us and leave it like that. In my case I have preferred to put some more or less discreet screws here and make the joints on the inside with small squares. Let's see what we are going to do. What to do next because I don't want this thing to burst at any time and the earth to flood my grandmother's balcony is to put these small squares here we will put two on each side and in this way the drawer will be totally totally safe we ​​are going to hold these squares with these small screws and don't worry because it looks a little bad and the screw doesn't fit perfectly to the head of the square because as you will see this is not going to be seen, we are simply going to put two screws in each square, one that is really sure what we are going to do.
What we will do will be some screws but with care just because it will coincide with it will not happen to us to move it a few centimeters towards here when you already have the base of what will happen to you next is this on the sides of the wood you may see it sink so we have to put a screw also here and to put it in, what we are going to do, as you will see below, is to hold this wood in place and screw it. First we are going to put a little bit of the screw inwards and once we almost have the screw what we have to do is put this wood in its place so that you can see it well I'm going to try to hold on with this hand this way we prevent this from eating inwards outwards the same on the other side well as you can see we are in a different environment I have come to my grandmother's house to end up on the cultivation table or the urban garden and well, I don't control this environment too much, as you can hear, there is a lot of noise because I am going to work near the balcony where I am going to install the cultivation table and then, I apologize in advance because I think When editing the video I will have a lot of problems with the sound and as long as you say it quite well we are going to continue the next thing we are going to do are the legs for the legs we have used a fairly thick ribbon and not too high as you can see it reaches more or except for the knee, this will make it easier for my grandmother to work at a fairly comfortable height to place the legs.
What we are going to do is mark 5 centimeters from the outer edge and also 5 centimeters from this other angle and we will place the leg here. We are all going to put the rear legs about 5 centimeters away, which would be these, they will be 5 centimeters from the back because there is the baseboard on the wall, but the front legs will only be 2 centimeters away to maximize the base from which the entire drawer is supported To hold the legs, what we are going to do is pass a screw through the back part upwards, but we are also going to put two squares like the ones we used before.
We are going to put two squares on the outside, one here and one here if you want too. You can put other squares on the other sides or a larger square and now that the squares are attached to the base the only thing left is to put the screw that will hold the square to the leg. In this way the leg stays quite well in the absence of to pass the screw behind and perhaps put another square here. As you can see, a cultivation message is already taking shape and what we are going to do now is secure the legs from the top.
Every cultivation table requires drainage so that the water can escape. and do not rot the roots in this case what we are going to do is put here on one of the sides the side that will be a little more inclined and the slope will drag the water towards here we will put a hole here so that the water can drain the hole we will do it To do this with a drill to which we have attached some crowns. The crowns are these things and we can put them on any of these. The size we are going to use is this, but if you buy one of these crowns with the same device you can use different sizes.
I bought these crowns in a store that made everything a lot of years ago and the truth is that, let's see, they are not perfect, you can't get enough of the size, but to make holes that don't require a specific size, they are quite good, let's proceed and let's to make the hole right here in the middle and as you can see there has been a fairly large hole and the piece of wood that is left over has remained in the crown. Be careful because it burns but when it stops burning what you can do is and everything comes out both the crown like the piece of wood now we have to sand the edges of the hole a little and what we are going to do is go on to varnish, be generous on the base, it does not matter that there is quite a layer left so that it protects well against water 2 what we are going to do What we have to do now is put these large screws so that they hold the legs from here.
To do this, what we have to do is see where the screw goes and the best thing would be to measure the legs below so as not to make mistakes, so for this leg here we have three centimeters and a half then we put here and mark three and a half centimeters and then the distance also horizontally horizontally we would have about 3 centimeters like the leg about four centimeters we have drawn the leg and we can put the screw in the center let's now measure the other leg and then drill we have already marked the two legs and to put this screw what we are going to do is put a drill bit since this screw is quite thick and could burst the wood remember for wood always use the drill and not on the hammer and Now all that remains is to put the screw in.
Surely the electric screwdriver will not be able to, if it is one of these small ones, it will not be able to put the screw in completely and you will have to use a manual screwdriver. Here what we are going to do next is with a little bit of silicone. an edge here so that when the water falls that will come sliding down it doesn't continue to claim here and drip down this, let everyone do it as best they can. I have thought about it. I have not seen it anywhere but I think that this way the water will drip. down and it will not drip through the wood.
There are people who do it by putting a piece of pipe in a drain. I have also seen that there are people who do it with a plastic bottle, but well, I think it's just with a little silicone. that I had at home the idea is going to be to hang one of these tiny tin buckets here so that it is responsible for collecting the water and we are going to hang the handle of the bucket from this nail that I am going to put now the nail we are going to put here I think it will be comfortable and we will take advantage of the fact that the silicone is soft so that it covers a little and does not rust easily. 2 If you use this nail method, remember to never leave it inwards, leave it facing outwards as it will be easier to hang and take down the cube.
I am going to leave it a little tilted like this and I think that this will be enough, what you have to do now on a growing table or in an urban garden to display a mesh of these; they sell various types but this one has been collected since that mini raincoat Ok, it retains more or less water and it is for this type of thing. I have bought it from an agricultural cooperative but I suppose that many other places will also have it and now I am going to see a little how he placed it.
To place it we will need some scissors and also a stapler. These are used to engrave wood. In this case, it is to cover the bottom part of the crop, but it will be the part that will hang on the other side and now I will cut. The next step will be to enter it and we will begin to sink it. What we are going to do is start. To put it from this side to put this type of fabric, it is best to leave an edge that we will then fold inwards before engraving it and when you see that it looks more or less good, what you can do is engrave the bottom part to work more comfortable, I'm going to take advantage of one of these stripes and I'm going to staple the entire side here.
The next thing we're going to do is tape the other side. We stretch the fabric well. We think it's difficult for me to show you because it's quite difficult and cumbersome to work with, but Surely in the video it seems more difficult than it is, we were recording all this other side once we have the engraving base here in the middle we do not need to remember the smaller the size the fewer staples the better the less metal there will be that can rust what we are doing What to do is and prepare the corners for the corners we are going to fold them back as if folding it is a sheet of paper.
Maybe you have ever made a letter. What we do is fold this corner and put it this way once we put the big country ah we are going to do the same with this corner we are going to turn it inwards maybeestelado the bay and I have seen better it is about folding it like this and there is no 1 we adjust it to the corner nor can it be very tight because otherwise the weight of the earth would tear everything off I am left without staples these recorders are very easy to use I also leave the link to buy it on Amazon although you can buy it at any hardware store oh well we already have one side and now we are going to go for the other side once we have the base well placed and the corners well engraved what we are going to do is cut out a little bit of all the excess, for example three fingers of the wood, to then bend it inwards and catch it.
When it comes to folding this inwards, we will need the top of the corners to be cut to start folding this. I recommend starting from the center and not from the corners because if we start from one corner we may make an error and in the other corner it will be very noticeable. If we start from the center it will not be as noticeable. It is very important that you do not pull up but rather think down because if not Then the earth will be heavy and will tear everything off. We fold inwards and more or less this is where we are going to nail and I am going to leave a small piece up to the wood so that the canvas does not come off at the top at any time and this is where I am going to put a Stapling by making double what we avoid is that you see this that makes them continue to unravel and also that it is a little more beautiful and now from the center towards there we are going to staple, always remember to put a hand underneath so that we do not to keep it taut, the only function of these staples is to hold the canvas a little, although the canvas will hold it and the ground to make the edge look a little more aesthetic, you don't have to use any force, be careful here at the end because when you make a double on top of a double you are joining together with four layers of canvas and you have to use a lot of force with the stapler ah ah now we are going to continue with this edge this is quite simple because it does not have a double and like this we will continue with the rest of the edges and to finish with the fabric what you will have to do is look for where the hole is that you have made in the wood and what we are going to make is a cross we are going to make a horizontal cut and we are going to make a vertical cut once here it is Where will the water come out?
Once you have made this kind of cross with the scissors, it will be quite easy for you to finish making the hole a little round. Also remember that this fabric is simply plastic and we can use a lighter with a lighter or something to burn it. the edges so that it looks better before adding the drainage layer, what we have to do is cover this hole so that the drainage stones do not go through it. There are people who put a grid. I have recycled this small bottle cap and what What I'm going to do is use it as very easy.
I'm going to put it here and I'm going to hook it with two screws. It's time to put the drainage layer. The drainage layer is a layer usually of stones or rubble that makes it easier for water to flow into the hole. of drainage on this occasion I am going to put expanded clay okay but with any stone or well there are many types I specifically chose from this the drainage layer what makes it easier is that the water if we put soil to the bottom the earth becomes caked and the water It does not pass well, however, the extra pebbles, even if they become caked, there are always many gaps and the water flows and does not cover the roots of our plants.
The next thing we are going to do is put the soil in. Many people use coconut fibers today and some things are worth it. In this case we are simply going to use a soil that we have bought and that we believe will be enough but in the market you have many options, this would be a 50 liter bag of soil and we are going to put a little more because we want there to be 2 of 2 or 3 to the limit, well, as you can see, we already have our soil in place and we conclude the construction of this growing table.
Now the only thing we would have left would be to put a little metal hooked on the drainage hook so that the water falls and plant our plants but I already left this to my grandmother.
