Can I use this for vegetables?
Yes, the 50 cm depth is excellent for most common vegetables, including leafy greens, herbs, and root vegetables.
Does the bed come with a bottom panel?
Most raised garden bed designs of this type are open-bottomed for direct soil contact, but please verify your specific shipment box for any provided base liners.
Is it safe for organic gardening?
The wood should be treated with food-safe sealants if you intend to grow organic produce to ensure no chemicals leach into the soil.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: Unpack all panels and hardware. Follow the provided instructions to align the sides and secure them tightly to ensure structural integrity.
Placement: Choose a location with adequate drainage. If placing on a wood deck, consider using a protective liner to prevent moisture buildup underneath the bed.
Soil Preparation: Fill the unit with a mix of topsoil and organic compost to ensure nutrient density. Do not pack the soil down too tightly, as this can inhibit root growth.
Maintenance: To extend the lifespan of the wood, apply a non-toxic, wood-safe sealant or outdoor stain annually. Regularly check the joints to ensure they remain tight and clear debris from the corners to prevent moisture retention.
