Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Kent Garden Planter comes fully assembled, meaning you can simply unpack it and begin filling it with your chosen soil and plants. No tools or assembly are required.
Compatibility: This planter is compatible with a wide range of plants, from flowers and vegetables to shrubs and small trees. The pressure-treated timber is safe for food growth, making it suitable for kitchen gardens.
Care: To maintain the planter's appearance and longevity:
- Painting: For a custom look and added protection, you can apply exterior-grade paint. Choose from the available color options (Wild Thyme, Coastal Blue, Dark Oak, Black Ash, Charred Burned, Harvest Gold, Dusky Gem, Urban Slate). The exterior paint has a 6-year finish.
- Cleaning: Clean the planter periodically with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the wood or liner.
- Drainage: Ensure the drainage holes at the base are not obstructed to allow water to flow freely.
- Placement: For longevity, place the planter on a level surface. If using optional feet or castors, ensure they are securely fitted.
- Liner: The pre-fitted liner should remain intact to protect the timber. If it becomes damaged, consider a replacement.
