If you’re using a fabric liner, such as burlap, try letting the liner show for a decorative, rustic look. Furthermore, our qualified team will always be in touch with you throughout the production process. Plastic liners will offer your planters an improved lifespan. Without the constant moisture, it will take longer for rot to set in and destroy your planters. Healthy plants Choose the correct diameter and height for your pot whilst taking into account the internal diameter of the access hole. If required, the height of the liner can be trimmed down with scissors and then squeezed into the pot below the rim to create an unobtrusive barrier into which you can pot your plant.

I was planning to line them with plastic (from a new matress) but then someone suggested soft weed surpressing membrane (and bought me some!) and was very certain this was the best way (and said he'd spoken to 2 landscape gardeners and the garden centre man about it). That was 4 years ago and it’s still going strong. Environmentalists report plastic can take up to 450 years to break down, so your wooden liner will go the distance.Another problem with filling a container too high is that soil washes from the top when it rains or you water it. About 2-3 cms from the top is usually enough. All you need to do is to submit your specification sin advance and or team of professionals will work on it to ensure that it meets all the standards. The grow pot height is standardised (normally 12cm or 19cm) and shown on the size option for each hydroculture plant. Ensure the external height of your decorative pot is at least 2-3cm higher than the grow pot height of the hydroculture plant. In this article I’m going to show you exactly how to line a wooden planter box – with pictures included! I list all the tools you need, followed by my 5 simple steps to follow. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to line your planter and preserve the wood, whilst creating neat little drainage holes! Let’s begin… It needs to fit well, but not so tightly it’s at risk of tearing. Don’t worry about being too precise, pretty soon it’ll be covered in compost and out of sight.

Hydroculture plants - These require a hydro kit for assembly, this includes a waterproof pot liner with a base wide enough to accommodate the hydroculture grow pot. The size tip provided for each hydroculture plant provides a recommended size for the external diameter of the decorative pots that will accommodate the specified waterproof liner. Liners are meant to protect your box from the constant moisture of potting soil. They are the best way to keep your planter from rotting prematurely if you’re using wood or rusting away in the case of metal. If used correctly, you should be able to get many more years out of your planter. To prevent soil from falling out, you can place coffee filters or fine wire mesh over the drainage holes. You can also use a newspaper or cheesecloth for this purpose. Given that my friend bought me some I will use it if there is a growing/longevity advantage but not if it's just convenience related for these folk who were so keen on it?Have your Sui Generis products manufactured in your corporate colours or any other colour of your choice. That’s it – now is the fun part of filling the container with soil and planting it up to creating something interesting. For hydroculture plants use the size tip to select a decorative pot that will accommodate the waterproof liner recommended for the plant in the hydro kit.

But remember! The planter must have drainage holes or roots will rot in the consistently wet soil. Where to Go Next… At Sui Generis we can create pieces in any colour. Seating, water features & planters for commercial and residential projects Meanwhile, our QC team do 100% inspection to help you get perfect clear plastic planter liners with minimal worries about the mess.This is an important step. Without drainage holes in the plastic, you’re creating a swamp and not many plants can survive those conditions! Lower carbon footprint which helps reduce the amount of poisonous gas emission thus protecting the Ozone layer

Any kind of metal in wood will cause damage and allow wet to enter – but in my experience glue doesn’t hold the liner in place. Staples cause the least wood damage – but don’t go overboard! I think I’ll use this planter to grow some tasty tortoise food for Alberto. A mix of campanula, sedum and clovers would grow well in here. Besides, we monitor the production process to ensure the right tolerance and dimension consistency. You can use this process to line wooden planters of any size. The one I’ve lined today is 60 by 40 cms, but I have also lined an 8 metre by 2 metre raised bed with a mixture of compost bags and rubble bags. Drainage: Traditional indoor plant pots have drainage holes and stand in saucers to allow excess water to drain freely. For modern decorative plant pots without drainage holes the grow pot could be stood inside the pot on a saucer, or in a pot liner for extra protection. Alternatively, for a professional design look, the plant can be repotted directly into a pot liner with a layer of hydrogranules to provide both a drainage layer and a reservoir for the plant. The roots above the granules will pull the water gently out of the granules (capillary action) to keep them moist but not wet.Wood is a natural material that rots, breaking down into fibres and eventually into compost that replenishes our soil. It is important to buy soils that are specifically for potting. Things like garden soil and mulch were not created for planting in containers.
