Full details

This lightweight, round barrel planter from Gardening Naturally is perfect for anyone looking to add charm to their outdoor space with herbs, flowers, or small plants. It offers the classic look of a wooden barrel with the durability and low maintenance of recycled plastic, making it an ideal choice for compact areas or patios.

Troubleshooting

Planter appears faded over time

While designed for UV resistance, prolonged intense sun can cause some fading. Rotate the planter occasionally and consider using a plastic protectant spray designed for outdoor furniture.

Water pooling in the bottom

Ensure there are adequate drainage holes. If not, carefully drill a few small holes in the base of the planter to allow excess water to escape.

Difficulty moving when filled

The planter is lightweight when empty. Fill it with soil and plants in its final desired location, or use a plant dolly or trolley for easier relocation once full.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This planter requires no assembly. Simply remove it from its packaging, and it is ready to be filled with compost and your chosen plants. Ensure there are adequate drainage holes at the bottom if none are pre-drilled, or drill a few yourself to prevent waterlogging.

Compatibility: The planter is suitable for use with all types of potting compost and soil. It is designed for outdoor use and is compatible with a wide range of plants, including flowers, herbs, and compact vegetables. Its recycled plastic material makes it compatible with various garden styles, from traditional cottage gardens to modern minimalist spaces.

Care: Cleaning is straightforward. Use a damp cloth to wipe down the exterior and interior as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the plastic surface. Due to its weather-resistant properties, no special winter storage is typically required, though storing it in a sheltered spot during extreme weather can prolong its aesthetic appeal.
