PLANTER GARDENING
PLASTIC PLANTER BINS
The plastic bins are made from 100% new Polypropylene material
(PP) and are food safe (BPA free, phthalate free, lead free, mercury
free). The bins have a 3000hr UV stabilizer to protect the plastic
from degrading in the outdoors.
DRAIN HOLES
These bins do not come with drainage holes. Not everyone wants
drainage holes in their planters. But, if you want to add drainage
holes, we suggest using a 5/16” (8mm) drill bit (drill bit not included).
DRAINAGE LAYER
Some gardeners recommend placing approximately one inch of
drainage filler (pottery, shells, gravel, etc.) at the bottom of the
planter bin, before adding the soil. This is optional. The bottom of
the planter bins have raised feature denoting the drainage layer line.
TIP: Why add a drainage layer?
Some people do
this to help prevent root rot. What this does is
create a small water reservoir below the
soil line. As the plant roots will prefer
to stay in the soil above, they won’t
sit in accumulated water where
they can potentially grow root
fungus. The water in the
lower drainage reservoir
will eventually evaporate up
through the soil, keeping the
soil moist.
