Plant Benefits & Garden Impact

• Improved Drainage: Raised beds help prevent waterlogging, keeping roots healthy and encouraging robust growth.
• Weed & Pest Control: Elevated planting areas make it easier to manage weeds and deter common garden pests.
• Flexible Planting: Grow sun-loving annuals, perennial herbs, or leafy greens—these planters suit a huge variety of species.

Growing Guide

• Best For: Salad crops (lettuce, spinach), root vegetables (carrots, radishes), Mediterranean herbs (thyme, rosemary), and seasonal flowers (petunias, marigolds).
• Soil: Fill with rich compost or multi-purpose soil. For best results, use a mix tailored to your chosen plants—vegetables thrive in nutrient-rich blends; flowers often prefer well-drained loam.
• Sunlight: Place in full sun or partial shade depending on plant type; most edibles and annuals need at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.

Planting & Care Tips

• When to Plant: Start sowing seeds or transplanting seedlings in spring once the risk of frost has passed.
• Irrigation: Water regularly—raised beds dry out faster than ground-level plots. Mulch to retain moisture during hot spells.
• Feeding: Apply balanced fertiliser throughout the growing season to boost flowering and crop yields.

Design Ideas & Companion Planting

• Create themed beds: dedicate one planter to culinary herbs, another to pollinator-friendly blooms.
• Pair with companion plants: try basil alongside tomatoes or marigolds with lettuce for natural pest control.
