      That's not what the Cabbage Patch Kids told me

        That's just propaganda made by lizard people to distract you from from their offspring hatching from eggs.

        I’ll take a stab. People have these, get bored of them and get overgrown with weeds becoming infested with spiders.

          It'll sit around the house, rotting, rusting, until finally one day the house is sold to a developer and it's thrown into a dump truck with the rest of their crap.

        So Redback spiders like to live in places between 2 horizontal surfaces. The underside of the planter being a good example. Any place where they can hide up above to catch bugs walking by below.

        They usually live up top, underneath the top surface out of sight. Unlike the usual spider webs we know, they will have individual strands going down to the ground like tripwires. Anything walking along under the planter has a chance to walk into a silk strand and alert the spider.

        • So basically all backyard decks and tables and chairs?

          • @mogley: Maybe not tables because they're so high up from the ground.

    I bought one of these a few years back. Bottom fell out of it and ended up with a rusted pile of trash and soil all over my lawn. YMMV DYOR

    • exactly the same happened to me

      I had a better quality raised garden bed, and it still wasn't great. Weeds still got in just as much as with my usual non-raised beds, and the metal got seriously hot in the summer sun, evaporating water as fast as I could fill it. Plenty of coir peat was a necessity.

      Meanwhile, unlike the non-raised beds (where the worms kept the soil in check) I'd need to refresh the potting mix regularly.

      In the end, I kind of wondered what the point is. Maybe for some flowers on an apartment balcony? Otherwise, it's better to just have a normal garden bed sitting on the ground.

      • Generally, the raised garden bed is so people don't have to kneel or bend over to potter around in it. Helps older people especially.

        • The need to regularly refresh the soil by lifting a big bag of potting mix to shoulder-height and pouring it into a raised bed certainly wasn’t back-friendly! No worms and no ground contact means the soil exhausts itself pretty quickly when growing herbs/veges.

          I find my non-raised beds are generally more user-friendly overall.

          • @axyh: Like most things, YMMV

      Same, rusted after less than 2 yrs.

    Is this UV stabilised so this can be used inside under grow lights? Asking for a friend's kids

  • If using raised beds, I prefer the cheapo's at Stratco when they're on sale. You can connect two together to make the 60cm, but need to but a box of screws/bolts to do the job.

    Fill the bottom with as rotted logs as you can, as most plants root only go 10-20m down. The wood will break down and become a spongy-water-saver + nutrients. To express the time, drop the wood/branches & drop a layer of poo before proceeding to the good soil steps.

  • Can you grow varieties of Oregano in this?

    Asking for a friend who likes the colours.
