Growing Guide & Care Tips
- Planting Time: Best planted in early spring after the last frost for vegetables; ornamental flowers can be sown from spring to early summer.
- Soil Requirements: Fill with a quality multipurpose compost or blend with well-rotted manure for nutrient-rich growth. Adjust pH to suit chosen plants (slightly acidic for most vegetables).
- Sunlight: Place in a sunny spot—most edible crops and annuals thrive with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Irrigation: Water regularly but avoid overwatering thanks to the open base. Mulch can help retain moisture during dry spells.
- Maintenance: Minimal—just rinse occasionally to keep the steel clean. No painting or special treatment needed.
Design Inspiration & Companion Planting
Create a productive kitchen garden by pairing leafy greens with root vegetables or companion flowers like marigolds to attract pollinators. Use several beds side by side for crop rotation or mix herbs such as basil and parsley with salad crops for a fragrant display.
