Transform your outdoor area with this modular metal raised planter—perfect for cultivating vegetables, herbs, and flowers even in compact gardens. Designed with versatility in mind, you can assemble the planter into six different shapes and sizes to match your planting ambitions and available space.

• Plant Type: Suitable for annuals, perennials, leafy greens, root crops, culinary herbs, and seasonal flowers.
• Mature Size: Choose from configurations up to 150cm x 70cm (approx. 35cm high), holding between 125L–320L of compost depending on shape.
• Growth Characteristics: Raised beds promote robust root systems, improved drainage, and warmer soil—ideal for early sowing and extended growing seasons.
• Seasonal Interest: Enjoy year-round productivity—grow spring salads, summer tomatoes, autumn carrots, or winter-hardy greens.
• Planting Location: Place on lawns, over soil beds, patios or decking (with a liner and gravel base). The hunter green finish blends naturally into garden surroundings.

Cultivate Healthier Plants with Minimal Effort

• No-Dig Gardening: Keep planting neat and manageable—no need to dig over large plots. Just fill with quality compost tailored to your crops.
• Pest & Weed Protection: Raised beds help reduce weed invasion and can deter some common garden pests.
• User-Friendly Height: The 35cm elevation makes gardening accessible—ideal for those who want less bending or wish to introduce children to plant care.
• Tough Construction: Hot-dipped galvanised zinc steel resists rust and weather damage. Lightweight yet sturdy enough for years of use.
• Safe Design: Fitted with a rubber safety band to cover edges for added protection during planting and harvesting.

Your Growing Guide: Get the Best from Your Planter

• Sowing & Planting: Start most vegetables from seed between February–May; transplant seedlings once frosts pass. For flowers, sow annuals in spring or perennials in autumn/spring as appropriate.
• Caring For Your Crops: Water regularly during dry spells. Top up compost annually with organic matter. Use slow-release fertiliser suited to your chosen plants (general-purpose for veg/herbs; specialist feeds for acid-loving or flowering plants).
• Siting Tips: Place in full sun for fruiting crops (tomatoes, peppers), partial shade for leafy greens or shade-tolerant flowers. Ensure good drainage if placed on hard surfaces by adding a liner and gravel layer beneath.
• Pest Management: Use netting or fleece to protect young plants if necessary. Rotate crops each season to maintain soil health.

Clever Planting Combinations & Design Ideas

• Create companion plant groupings: pair tomatoes with basil or marigolds; mix salad leaves with edible flowers like nasturtium; combine herbs such as parsley, chives, and thyme in one section.
• Add pollinator-friendly blooms (e.g., calendula or lavender) among vegetables to encourage beneficial insects.
• The modular system lets you adapt the bed shape as your gardening ambitions grow—from compact salad patches to larger vegetable plots or mixed flower borders.
