Plant Benefits
- Ideal for vegetables, herbs and flowers: The generous 100cm x 60cm growing area gives roots plenty of room to spread, making it perfect for mixed crops or ornamental planting.
- Encourages healthy growth: An open-bottom design supports deep rooting and excellent drainage, reducing the risk of root rot and promoting stronger plants, ideal for UK favourites like tomatoes, lavender and spring bulbs.
- Safe, contained growing: The galvanised steel structure helps protect plants from pests and accidental damage, making it well suited to busy gardens or allotments.
Expert Growing Guide
- Soil requirements: Fill with nutrient-rich compost and loam. A neutral pH between 6.0 and 7.0 suits most vegetables, herbs and flowers.
- Location: Position the bed where it receives 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Suitable for patios, balconies and open garden spaces.
- Watering: Monitor moisture levels and water when the top 2cm of soil feels dry. The efficient drainage prevents waterlogging.
- Seasonal planting: Start planting in early spring once the risk of frost has passed. Ideal for salad leaves, onions and bedding plants that thrive in UK conditions.
- Mix crops or companion plants: Combine basil with tomatoes, marigolds with courgettes, or group flowering perennials to support biodiversity.
Planting and Care Tips
- Assembly: Quick and simple to assemble with all hardware included. No tools required.
- Annual reset: Refresh the soil at the start of each growing season and top up with a slow-release fertiliser for best results.
- Maintenance: Wipe or rinse the steel surface to keep it looking its best. Designed to stay outdoors year-round thanks to its weatherproof finish.
