Unlike raised beds, our outdoor planters are self-contained units that retain all the materials (e.g., compost, water, fertiliser, plant roots, etc.,) within the planter via a hard bottom panel. Therefore, growing space is restricted to the depth of the planter. For this reason, it is important to choose plants carefully.
