Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This planter arrives fully assembled and with a pre-fitted liner, meaning it is ready for immediate use. Simply position it in your desired location before filling.
Compatibility:
- Soil Types: Compatible with all standard potting mixes, composts, and soil types suitable for your chosen plants.
- Drainage: While the liner helps contain soil, ensure the base of the planter has adequate drainage to prevent waterlogging. For long-term placement on patios, consider placing it on small feet or blocks to allow water to escape freely and prevent rot.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the timber for any signs of wear. For extended lifespan, consider applying a plant-safe wood treatment or sealant annually, especially to exposed end grains.
- Winter Care: While pressure-treated, prolonged exposure to extreme dampness can affect the wood. Elevating the planter slightly can improve air circulation and drainage during wet periods.
