Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
This garden trough is supplied pre-assembled and pre-treated, meaning it is ready for immediate placement and planting. Simply choose your desired location in the garden, ensure the ground is relatively level, and fill with appropriate soil and compost.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all standard garden soils, composts, and planting mediums. Due to its wooden construction, it is best suited for outdoor use. As no liner is included, consider adding a heavy-duty landscape fabric or a specific trough liner if you wish to protect the wood further or manage soil moisture more precisely.
Care:
While the trough is pre-treated, periodic maintenance will help preserve its appearance and extend its lifespan. Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed. For ongoing protection, consider applying a wood sealant or preservative suitable for outdoor use annually, especially before winter. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Ensure the drainage holes at the base remain clear of debris.
