How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This planter serves as the final container in planting projects. After selecting a location with appropriate sunlight, gardeners prepare the planter with drainage materials, fill it with soil or compost, then plant and arrange their chosen plants before watering.

The integrated drainage system works continuously after planting to manage moisture levels, protecting plant roots while the planter itself requires minimal maintenance beyond occasional cleaning.

How to Use

1. Positioning: Place the planter in your desired location, ensuring sufficient sunlight for your chosen plants.
2. Preparation: Add a layer of gravel or stones at the bottom to aid drainage.
3. Filling: Fill the planter with quality soil or peat-free multi-purpose compost suitable for your plants, leaving room for watering.
4. Planting: Use a hand trowel such as an Aifa Garden hand trowel to plant and arrange your plants, ensuring they have adequate space to grow.
5. Watering: Water thoroughly after planting, allowing excess water to collect in the built-in reservoir.

Storage and Maintenance

• Rinse with water occasionally to remove dirt and maintain its appearance.
• Store in a sheltered area during extreme weather to preserve its finish.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners to prevent scratches to the surface.
