Usage Guidelines

Preparing the Planter

Once assembled, ensure the fabric liner is properly positioned inside the bed. Fill the planter with your desired soil mix, leaving adequate space from the top edge for watering and plant growth.

Planting

This elevated garden bed is suitable for cultivating a variety of plants, including vegetables, flowers, and herbs. Consider the mature size of your chosen plants to ensure proper spacing and light exposure within the bed.

Watering

The bottom of the planting bed features drainage holes that provide oxygen and ventilation for roots to thrive, while preventing water from pooling. Water your plants as needed, allowing excess water to drain freely through the bottom.

Maintenance

Wood Care

While made of natural fir wood, applying a protective wood sealant or stain to the exterior surfaces is recommended to extend the lifespan of your garden bed, especially in outdoor environments. This helps protect against weathering and moisture.

Liner and Drainage

Regularly check the fabric liner for any tears or damage. Ensure the drainage holes at the bottom remain clear of debris to allow for proper water flow and prevent root rot.

Troubleshooting

Waterlogging Issues

If water is not draining properly, check the drainage holes at the bottom of the bed to ensure they are not clogged with soil or debris. Clear any obstructions to restore proper drainage.

Wood Warping or Cracking

Natural wood can be susceptible to warping or cracking due to prolonged exposure to moisture and sunlight. Applying a wood sealant or stain as part of regular maintenance can help mitigate these issues. Ensure the bed is placed in an area with adequate air circulation.

Instability After Assembly

If the garden bed feels unstable, re-check all assembly screws to ensure they are fully tightened. Verify that the bed is placed on a level surface. Uneven ground can affect stability.
