Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: Place the trough on a level, stable surface in your desired location. Ensure the area can support the weight of the trough when filled with soil and plants. While no assembly is required for the trough itself, consider its final placement before filling.
Compatibility: This trough is compatible with most standard potting soils and composts. It can be used with or without a liner, depending on your planting choices and soil type. The approximate volume of 62 litres accommodates a significant amount of growing medium.
Care: To maintain the appearance and extend the life of the wood, periodic cleaning with a damp cloth is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Reapply the oil-based water repellent preservative annually or as needed, especially after harsh weather, to ensure continued protection against the elements. Check the galvanised zinc bolting periodically to ensure they remain secure and free from debris.
