Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Place the planter on a level and stable surface in your desired garden location. Ensure adequate drainage beneath the planter by placing it directly on soil, gravel, or patio slabs. Assembly may be required depending on the delivered state; follow any provided instructions carefully.

Compatibility: This planter is compatible with a wide range of soil types and compost mixes. It can be used with any standard garden plants, flowers, herbs, and vegetables. Ensure the chosen location receives appropriate sunlight for the plants you intend to grow.
