Troubleshooting
Wood appears to be warping or cracking
Ensure the planter is adequately sealed with a wood protectant and not exposed to constant extreme saturation or prolonged direct sunlight without protection.
Inner cloth bag is difficult to remove or clean
Gently pull the bag out, ensuring no soil is packed too tightly. Wash with mild soap and water, then allow to dry completely before reinserting.
