Handmade Wooden Garden Planters UK | Set of 2 Ready Assembled | Sustainable Timber

These are wooden garden planters, delivered as a set of two, fully assembled and ready for planting. They suit anyone who would rather get on with the job than spend an afternoon puzzling over flat-pack instructions or hunting for the right screwdriver. If you want a planter that will see you through more than one season, and you would rather not replace it every spring, this is the sort of thing worth considering.

The planters arrive ready to use, with drainage holes already in place, which is no small thing.most planters fail because water sits at the bottom and roots rot away before you notice. Here, the drainage is sorted from the start, so you can plant straight in, knowing your herbs or tomatoes stand a fair chance of thriving. The depth is generous enough for a good root run, whether you are growing salad leaves, bedding, or something with a bit more ambition.

There are five sizes, from 30cm up to 120cm, so you can fit them to a windowsill, line them along a balcony, or run them down a border if you want a matched look. We have found that a set of two is often more useful than a single large trough, as you can move them about or swap out the planting as the season changes. The planters are weather-treated, so they will see off a British winter without much fuss, but it is worth checking them over at the end of the season and brushing off any soil or leaves that have built up in the corners.

Most people go wrong by overwatering or by forgetting that even the best planter needs a bit of attention now and then. If you tip out the old compost each year and give the inside a quick clean, you will find these planters last far longer than most. Store them somewhere dry over winter if you can, but they are built to stay out if you cannot.

If you are planting up for the first time, fill with fresh compost and water in well, but do not overdo it.roots need air as much as water. Over the first season, you will see the wood settle and silver a little, which is as it should be. These planters work well alongside terracotta pots or as a run of troughs for a more ordered look, and if you look after them, you will not be shopping for replacements any time soon.
