Rick - I see what you mean about the depth of your pavers. The cinder blocks I have are 8" deep. But ... I have seen skinner cinder blocks. Check several places before you decide! http://www.cinderblockonline.c...

Lynn - You really lucked out finding those for .90 each! Wow! I love the stone look too! Please share photos when you are finished with your bed.

Did you see the link I posted earlier? http://remodelista.com/posts/d...
Scroll down to the 2nd and 3rd photos. That type of planters would look really nice using a few of those stone finish cinder blocks. I love succulents and they grow better than any other plants in my tipsy clay pots: http://www.bing.com/images/sea...

Because of the heat and sun in Florida, succulents thrive in the clay pots, but I bet they would also do well in the holes of those cinder blocks if they were just left in pots sunk into the holes or planted in the holes. That is my newest kick ... succulents!
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
