The Mini Manger Trough Style Planters are a great way to grow your own fruit and vegetables on a small scale, in waist height comfort with little or no maintenance and free from certain pests; and as gardeners ourselves, we're rather pleased with the small but perfectly former Mini Manger Raised Planters we've both researched and designed.
Standing 56cm (1'10") off the ground, the Mini Manger Raised Planter - smaller brother of the taller, longer and deeper
Maxi Manger Raised Planters - 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 timber manger and let the plants (including carrots and parsnips) which require extra depth really stretch their legs in the centre, where 34cm (13") of soil is available. Manufactured from 2cm (¾") thick planed timber and carrying a 5 year structural guarantee, you can be sure the Mini 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, helps prevent leaching and even gives the timber further protection. The 60cm (2') wide Mini Manger Raised Planters are available in four lengths - 0.6m (2ft),1.2m (4ft),1.8m (6ft) and 2.4m (8ft) - giving you ample opportunity to produce home grown vegetables in style and comfort!
