The Valley Trough Medium is an ideal choice for gardeners and homeowners looking to elevate their patios, balconies, or pathways with durable, high-quality wooden planters. Handmade in the UK, these troughs offer a rustic aesthetic and ample space for a variety of flowers, herbs, or small shrubs. While they arrive fully assembled for immediate utility and feature pressure-treated Swedish Redwood for longevity, users should be prepared to perform an annual wood treatment to protect the material from long-term rot and environmental weathering.

No, the Valley Trough Medium is delivered fully assembled and ready for planting.
These planters are made from sustainably sourced Swedish Redwood.
An annual re-treatment is recommended to maintain wood quality and protect against rot.
Yes, they are suitable for herbs and smaller vegetables; ensure you use a food-safe wood treatment if you have concerns about chemical leaching.
The planters are supplied as solid units. If you are planting directly into them, it is highly recommended to drill drainage holes in the bottom.
Each trough measures 79 cm in length, 39 cm in width, and 32 cm in height.
This is a natural process for outdoor timber. Clean the surface and apply a fresh coat of high-quality wood preserver or exterior-grade garden wood oil.
If you intend to plant directly into the trough, ensure you drill drainage holes in the base and line the bottom with a layer of gravel or hydro-leca to prevent root rot.
Setting up your Valley Trough is simple: select a flat, level surface and position the planters where they will receive the appropriate light for your chosen plants. Since they arrive fully assembled, no tools are required for initial setup.
For ongoing care, the manufacturer strongly recommends an annual re-treatment. To do this, clean the exterior of the wood with a mild detergent and a brush to remove debris, allow it to dry thoroughly, and apply a high-quality wood preservative or exterior stain. To prolong the life of the wood, ensure the planters are not sitting in direct, standing water for extended periods—consider placing them on small feet or risers if they are positioned on flat paving.
