Maxi Manger Trough Planter - Getting the most from these Trough Style Wooden Planters isn't difficult and even though quality raised beds and planters are - pardon the pun - a huge growth area as gardeners realise the benefits of growing their own fruit and vegetables in waist height comfort with little or no maintenance and free from certain pests, we're still rather pleased with the stylish Maxi Manger Raised Planter we've both researched and designed.
Standing 79cm (2'7") off the ground, the Trough Style Raised Planter provides growing options that single level raised beds can't dream of offering - plant your salads and shallow rooting crops round the perimeter of the FSC approved, high pressure treated wooden trough and let the plants (including carrots and parsnips) which require extra depth really stretch their legs in the centre, where 45cm (17½") of soil is available. Manufactured from 2cm (¾") thick planed wood and carrying a 5 year structural guarantee, you can be sure the Maxi Manger Raised Planter won't let you down and your patio will be grateful for the thick, fitted, non-woven polypropylene fabric liner which aids water retention, contains fine sand and compost and helps prevent leaching.
We've even added a very cute, smaller version of the Manger Raised Bed Planters to our range - the
Mini Raised Bed Planter, ideal for smaller patios or courtyards - but we're sure the 83cm (2'9") wide Maxi Manger Raised Planters will prove extremely popular, especially as they are available in four lengths - 0.6cm (2ft), 1.2m (4ft), 1.8m (6ft) 2.4m (8ft) - giving you ample opportunity to produce home grown vegetables in comfort!
