Here’s an easy way to set up your veggie patch if you have limited space or can’t plant easily in the ground. These stylish planters are 55cm wide and 40cm tall making them a perfect size to grow just about any vegetable at home. Great for balconies or if you live in a rental and need to move in the future. The fabric is Geotech felt which is UV stable and designed to last for years outdoors.

For the first week you may need to give a little water to each plant as they are still getting their roots out. After that, check the soil moisture under the mulch. You should find it stays damp for a week or so due to the extra water well in the base. The water gets drawn up into the soil by capillary action. If it rains and there is too much water, the saucer will overflow and the water will escape through the planter bag sides and base.

NOTE: Use Potting mix, not heavy soil from your garden or soil yard which often contains sand. The handles on these planters are designed to carry the weight of potting mix only which is lighter than garden soil. This will also make them easier to lift and move if needed. When lifting, use a smooth action rather than a quick jerk. 
If you have used heavy garden soil, use a trolley to move them around rather than lifting by the handles.
