Planting Instructions
1. Place approximately 40mm of raw material (straw, small twigs, garden waste or gravel) at the bottom of the planter to help with drainage. 2. Roll up a newspaper. If you have a broadsheet roll it up along the shorter edge (if you do it along the long edge it will stick up above the top). You may need to use a little tape to hold it together. Place this in the middle of the planter holding it in place with some dirt in the bottom. This will act as a central drainage core allowing water to easily penetrate to the bottom of the planter.
2. Build up the Garden with good quality potting mix or compost above the first holes patting down firmly as you go.
3. Remove your herb and strawberry plants from there seedling trays or planter pots. Dig out enough dirt from the hole you will be planting into. Gently insert the herb or strawberry plant.
4. Once the plant is in place add extra dirt and pat firmly down so. Repeat the process of digging out the hole, inserting the desired plant and work your way to the top adding extra dirt as you go.
5. Give the planter a very good thorough watering. Make sure that it is well watered all the time either form rain fall or one of our excellent watering cans. |
