Its primary benefit is enabling easy, above-ground cultivation of herbs, fruits, and vegetables while offering protection from pests and the elements.

Key features include durable Finnish spruce construction, a protective polycarbonate greenhouse lid, adjustable ventilation, a lower storage shelf, and a 65L capacity.

FAQs

What is the capacity of the planter?

The planter has a soil capacity of 65 liters.

What type of wood is used?

The planter is constructed from dry, Finnish spruce wood.

Can I leave the planter outdoors in winter?

While the wood is durable, it is recommended to protect the planter from harsh winter conditions, such as covering it or storing it in a sheltered location, to prolong its lifespan. Ensure it is completely dry before storage.

How do I adjust the ventilation?

The planter features adjustable side tools that allow you to prop the polycarbonate lid open to varying degrees for temperature regulation and ventilation.

What are the dimensions of the planter?

The overall product dimensions are L80 x W60 x H109cm. The vegetable garden section measures L80 x W60 x H80cm, and the greenhouse section is L80 x W60 x H29cm.

Is the geotextile liner removable?

The geotextile liner is typically installed during assembly and is designed for water filtration. While it can be removed with effort, it is intended to remain in place during use.

Troubleshooting

Wood appears to be warping or cracking.

Ensure the planter is placed on a level surface and is not subjected to extreme, prolonged moisture without proper drainage. Apply a wood sealant annually for protection.

Polycarbonate lid is fogging up excessively.

Adjust the side tools to open the lid slightly, increasing ventilation. This is a sign the greenhouse effect is working, but may need fine-tuning.

Water is not draining from the planter.

Check that the geotextile liner is properly installed and not obstructed by soil or debris. Ensure the drainage holes at the bottom are clear.

Assembly is difficult.

Review the assembly instructions carefully. Ensure all parts are aligned correctly before tightening screws. If issues persist, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Assembly is required. Typically, this involves connecting the wooden panels and securing them with the provided hardware. Refer to the included instructions for detailed step-by-step guidance. The geotextile liner and crossbars should be installed as per the manual.

Compatibility: This planter is suitable for most common potting soils and composts. It is designed for outdoor use on stable, level surfaces such as balconies, patios, or garden grounds. Ensure the location receives adequate sunlight for the intended plants.

Care:

  • Wood: To maintain the wood's appearance and durability, it is recommended to clean it periodically with a damp cloth and mild soap. Applying a wood sealant or protective oil annually, especially before winter or periods of heavy rain, will extend its lifespan.
  • Polycarbonate Lid: Clean the polycarbonate panels with a soft cloth and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface.
  • Drainage: Ensure the geotextile liner remains clear of debris to facilitate proper drainage.
