Assuming you'll be placing clay planters in those wooden boxes potting
soil should be quite adaquate. I would definately not be placing any
kind of planting medium directly into those wooden boxes

I certainly do plan to put soil directly in those planters. They are teak,
and I expect them to last more than a year.

I used cedar lumber for on-ground raised beds and for compost
boxes and learned that it starts to rot away after a few years when
in contact with the ground - I thought it would last longer.
The upper parts that had some amount of air-drying,
were still solid after 10 + years ..
... not sure if teak is similar ?
