Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These planters arrive fully assembled, meaning no construction is required. Simply choose your desired location, ensure the ground is level, and fill with appropriate compost. For optimal drainage, consider placing a layer of gravel or crocks at the bottom of the trough before adding soil.
Compatibility: These troughs are compatible with a wide range of plants, from annuals and perennials to shrubs and small trees. Ensure the chosen plants suit the 62-litre volume and the dimensions of the trough. They are suitable for placement on patios, decking, gravel, or directly onto soil.
Care: The planters are treated with a water-repellent preservative. To maintain their appearance and prolong their life, it is recommended to reapply a suitable wood preservative or oil annually, especially at the beginning of the growing season. Clean with mild soap and water using a soft brush or cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can damage the wood over time. Consider using a planter liner if you wish to protect the wood further or manage soil moisture more precisely.
