Description

The Deep Root Planter from Forest isn’t just an attractive timber planter that is certain to look great in your garden – it has been thoughtfully designed to allow deep rooted plants to thrive without running out of space. Too often, plants which require longer root networks run out of room to grow in smaller planters, a problem you should not find with the substantial 180 litre capacity of this planter. This size also makes it perfect as a planter for a “kitchen gardener” who wants to grow their own vegetables at home. A larger, 6ft version is also available.

The planter is raised, which not only means you don’t have to get on your knees or stoop over, but this also acts as a deterrent to pests. It also features in Forest’s Accessible Gardening range, designed in partnership with Thrive, as it is much more accessible to wheelchair users. No disability should stop someone’s enjoyment of gardening, so it is with this in mind that products like the Long Root Planter are becoming increasingly popular.  

Features

The timber is pressure treated rough sawn timber, giving an excellent lifespan and unbeatable protection against rot, fungal decay and weathering. This is all backed up by a 15 year anti-rot guarantee. The sustainably sourced timber used is all sustainably sourced and of the highest quality, ensuring a durable build. Sturdy legs support the planter and provide extra stability. All these premium features ensure you have a planter that will survive even the harshest winter.

"Bought 2 large and 2 small deep root raised veg planters. Great products and good prices. 1 item was damaged when unpacked but replaced very quickly. Delivery guys Bill and Keith were very helpful and carried the goods into my garage for me. Very happy with both goods and service. "
