Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The VegTrug Classic Raised Planter is delivered flat-packed and requires assembly. Follow the included instructions carefully. Typically, this involves attaching the sides to the base and securing them. The four plastic feet covers should be attached to the bottom of the legs to provide a stable and slightly elevated base.
Compatibility:
This planter is designed for outdoor use in most climates. It is compatible with standard potting soils and composts. The dimensions (103cm L x 76cm W x 80cm H) make it suitable for a wide range of garden spaces.
Care:
- Wood: While treated with a water-based preservative, the cedar wood can be further protected by applying a suitable outdoor wood sealant or oil annually, especially in harsh climates. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Liner: The biodegradable liner is designed to break down over time. Replace it when it shows significant signs of degradation, typically after a few seasons, to ensure continued soil health.
- Drainage: Ensure the planter has adequate drainage. If placing on a solid surface, consider adding a layer of gravel at the bottom or ensuring the surface allows water to escape.
