Question Wooden Planter

Hi everyone, treated myself to a posh wooden planter, at the week-end and I would like some suggestions, please, of what sort of liner can I put inside before filling with compost, any ideas would be gratefully received. Gosh, it was cold here in Brum today. Brr! Happy Gardening!

How about using an empty compost bag turned inside out?

Thanks LJ, but I had already thought of that, not big enough, I want to use something, that won't disintergrate quickly. Back to the drawing board.

Nicos thanks but I think bubblewrap will disintergrate too quickly, I'm surfing for answers. My legs are aching!

How about some planting membrane? Most garden centres sell it by the metre.
