4. Operating Instructions

Using the Raised Garden Bed

Fill the raised bed with appropriate soil mix for your chosen plants. The open bottom allows roots to grow deeper into the ground, promoting healthier plant development and natural drainage. The internal rods help organize different plant types.

Using the Mini Greenhouse

The mini greenhouse cover provides a protective environment. Use it to:

  • Protect from Cold: Shield plants from frost and cold temperatures, extending your growing season.
  • Prevent Wind Damage: Offer a barrier against strong winds that can harm delicate plants.
  • Regulate Humidity: The cover helps lock in humidity, beneficial for many plant types.
  • Deter Pests: Acts as a physical barrier against birds and other small animals.

Utilize the roll-up windows for ventilation on warmer days or when plants require more airflow. Remember to bury the 4-inch edges of the cover for maximum effectiveness.
