Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Assembly is typically required. Ensure all parts are present before starting. Follow the provided instruction manual for step-by-step assembly, usually involving connecting the sides, base, and trellises. Place the assembled unit on a level surface in your desired location.
Compatibility:
This raised bed is compatible with most standard potting soils, composts, and garden soil mixes. It is designed for outdoor use and can be placed directly on soil, grass, gravel, or patio surfaces. The drainage holes are suitable for most climates, but in areas with extreme rainfall, additional drainage considerations might be needed.
Care:
- Wood Protection: To prolong the life of the fir wood, it is recommended to treat it with a non-toxic, water-based sealant or stain annually, especially before winter. This protects against moisture and UV damage.
- Cleaning: Clean the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Periodically clear debris from the planting bed.
- Drainage: Ensure the drainage holes remain clear of obstructions to allow water to escape freely.
