Transform Your Garden with a Raised Metal Planter

Create a flourishing space for your favourite vegetables, herbs, or flowering plants with this elevated metal raised bed in sleek grey. Designed to provide optimal growing conditions, this planter offers generous depth and sturdy construction—perfect for both beginners and seasoned gardeners.

Why Choose a Raised Metal Bed?

• Promotes Healthy Growth: The extra-deep planting area (63L x 43W x 40Hcm) encourages strong root systems, supporting a wide variety of crops from tomatoes and carrots to basil and marigolds.
• Keeps Soil in Top Condition: Raised beds prevent soil compaction, improve aeration, and make it easy to control soil quality—ideal for nutrient-demanding plants.
• Defends Against Pests: Elevated design helps deter weeds and small animals, so your plants stay protected as they grow.

Caring for Your Plants

• Drainage Excellence: The open-bottom design allows water to drain freely, reducing the risk of overwatering and root rot—especially important for Mediterranean herbs or moisture-sensitive vegetables.
• Weather-Ready Construction: Crafted from steel with an anti-water coating, this planter withstands rain and sun without warping—unlike wooden alternatives.
• Flexible Planting: Suitable for most annuals and perennials. For best results, use a rich compost mix tailored to your chosen plant types. Regular feeding during the growing season supports abundant yields.

Planting & Seasonal Advice

• When to Plant: Start sowing cool-season crops (like lettuce or spinach) in early spring; summer annuals can be planted after the last frost.
• Care Tips: Water consistently but avoid waterlogging. Mulch the surface to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Mature Size: The bed’s generous volume (108L) accommodates sprawling roots—great for companion planting schemes or intensive vegetable gardening.

Design Ideas & Placement

• Create a Kitchen Garden: Grow salad greens, herbs, or compact fruiting plants right outside your door.
• Add Colour & Texture: Mix flowering annuals like nasturtiums with leafy greens for an attractive display.
• Perfect for Small Spaces: Place on patios or balconies where ground planting isn’t possible.
