4. Operating Instructions

Once assembled, your raised garden bed is ready for use. Its design allows for flexible placement and diverse planting options.

• Filling the Planter: Fill the planter box with appropriate soil and compost. The generous capacity of 1.48 cubic feet accommodates various plant types.
• Planting: Plant your desired vegetables, herbs, flowers, or climbing plants. The deep planter box provides ample space for root growth.
• Watering: Water plants as needed. The two drainage holes at the bottom prevent water accumulation and over-soaking, promoting healthy plant growth.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and continued performance of your raised garden bed.

• Wood Care: The planter is made of 100% fir wood, which is naturally weather-resistant. Periodically inspect the wood for any signs of wear or damage. While designed for outdoor use, applying a wood sealant annually can further extend its lifespan and maintain its appearance.
• Drainage System: Regularly check the two drainage holes at the bottom of the planter box to ensure they are free from obstructions (e.g., soil, roots, debris). Clear any blockages to maintain proper water flow and prevent root rot.
• Cleaning: Wipe down the wooden surfaces with a damp cloth as needed to remove dirt or residue. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the wood finish.
• Wheel Maintenance: Ensure the wheels rotate smoothly. Clean any debris that may accumulate around the casters.

6. Troubleshooting

• Wobbling/Instability: If the planter feels wobbly, re-check all screw connections to ensure they are tightened securely. Confirm that the wheels with brakes are properly locked when the unit is stationary.
• Poor Drainage: If water is pooling in the planter, inspect the drainage holes for any blockages and clear them. Ensure the planter is on a level surface to allow for even drainage.
• Trellis Not Supporting Plants: Ensure climbing plants are gently guided and tied to the trellis as they grow. Verify that the trellis is securely attached to the planter box.
