PLEASE NOTE: We recommend that all planters be used with potting soil, or a light soil mixture.

Potting soil is specially formulated for planter and container gardening and is usually a mixture of soil, hummus and peat, but varies according to mixture. To ensure you are using the correct type of potting soil for your plant(s), check with a professional to determine the correct regional and plant specific soil to be used.

Heavier soil and "earth" absorb and retain more water which can apply strong pressure to the walls of the planter and can cause structural damage in larger planters.

Planter with nursery pots can be set into the planter, but depending on the type of plant(s), you can plant directly in your planter(s).
