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.
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.
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).
Attention: Before drilling holes in the bins, consider that pesky
water may drip on the ground. TIP: Silicone tubing may be used
to direct the flow of water. (Silicone tubing not included.)
1" WATER RESERVOIR
To create a 1" water reservoir:
Option A: Drill a 5/16" (8mm) sized hole approximately 1 inch
up from the bottom of the bin, on the front face of the bin.
Option B: Drill a 5/16" (8mm) sized
hole on the top of one of the raised
features located on the bottom of
the planter bins.
If you require drainage but not a 1" water
reservoir, simply drill a 5/16" (8mm)
sized hole on the bottom of the
planter bins.
