Westland Peat Free Multi-Planter Medium

Before you start Shake and gently squeeze the planter to loosen the compost. Position it in the orientation that best suits your crop:

• Flat for an 18 cm depth, ideal for salads, herbs, strawberries, peppers and chillies.
• Side-on for a 30 cm depth, which is 50% deeper than a standard growbag and perfect for peas, beans, cucumbers and tomatoes.
• Upright for a deep 37 cm growing space, ideal for long-root crops such as carrots, parsnips and potatoes.

Prepare the planter Make several drainage holes on the underside of the planter. Cut along the guide lines on top to create the planting opening.

Loosen the compost Remove enough compost to create a planting hole for the root ball. Break up the remaining compost inside the planter using gloved hands or a hand fork so it becomes light and airy again.

Start planting Place the plant into the hole and refill with the reworked compost. Firm gently and water well.

For potatoes Remove half the compost and loosen what remains. Add chitted seed potatoes, then replace 15 to 20 cm of the removed compost. Position the planter in a sheltered spot against a wall or shed.

For climbing crops For tomatoes, peas and beans, insert supports before planting to avoid disturbing the roots later.

Watering Keep the compost consistently moist. During warm or dry weather, daily watering may be required.
