I just bought some wooden window boxes and the liners from my old ones don't fit. They are unfinished wood. Any suggestions of what I should put in them before I plant?

I use aluminium flashing. It works for me.

Screen wire would possible work.

OK, I'm lost here. Do you NEED to line a windowbox? In both examples given, water would still come into contact with the box--both through landscape fabric and the holes poked in plastic for drainage. We live in an old house and the windowboxes are quite different so we never had this problem. I was thinking of making some more wooden ones, but never considered this.

I lined mine with a piece of leftover landscape fabric. Just used heavy duty staples to attach it.

Joy, I line mine with plastic garbage bags- cut the excess off and duct tape it to the box as unobtrusively as possible, poke some drainage holes and fill with soil as usual-
