Forest Deep Root Planter – 1.8m
Grow healthier vegetables, herbs and deep-rooted plants with the Forest Deep Root Planter – 1.8m. Specially designed with extra planting depth, this spacious raised planter gives long-root crops the room they need to thrive, making it an excellent choice for creating a productive kitchen garden at home.
Its raised design not only makes planting, watering and harvesting more comfortable by reducing the need to bend or kneel, but it can also help deter some common garden pests, making it easier to care for your plants throughout the growing season.
Perfect for Deep-Rooted Crops
With an impressive 350-litre compost capacity, the Forest Deep Root Planter provides generous growing space for vegetables with longer root systems, including carrots, parsnips, potatoes and beetroot, as well as herbs, flowers and ornamental plants.
This larger 1.8m version is ideal for gardeners looking to maximise their growing space, while a smaller 1m model is also available for more compact gardens.
The planter forms part of Forest Garden's Accessible Gardening Range, developed in partnership with Thrive, the UK's leading gardening charity dedicated to helping people improve their wellbeing through gardening.
Built for Long-Lasting Durability
Manufactured in the UK from robust slow-grown European softwood, the planter is pressure treated to protect against rot and fungal decay. This premium construction ensures it remains strong and durable through every season, even during harsh winter weather.
For additional peace of mind, the planter is supplied with a 15-Year Anti-Rot Guarantee and is manufactured using FSC®-certified timber sourced from responsibly managed forests and other controlled sources.
If you intend to grow fruit, vegetables or herbs, Forest recommends lining the planter with a suitable membrane before adding compost to help extend the life of the timber.
