Patio Planter

This video from Harrod Horticultural shows their Manger Planter. It’s a good solution for those with small gardens or even just a patio to grow some saladings and vegetables. It’s big enough to contain the depth of soil needed for the deep rooted vegetables in the middle, placing shallow rooted crops like strawberries to the side.

Because it lifts the plants to waist height, it’s useful for those with back problems who cannot bend to get to ground planted crops and even for those in a wheel chair. Made from pressure treated FSC timber, it looks good and should last for many years

As an optional extra you can get crop protection kits, keeping the birds and bugs from harvesting your efforts. There’s detailed information on this planter on the Harrod site here.
