How do you calculate how many bags of soil goes into a planter?
If your planter is six feet long and one foot wide, it probably needs three bags. The bag will say 2 square feet of soil. Measure the length of the planter. Figure one bag for every two feet in length. If you need more, just buy another bag. If you have too many bags of soil, just return them for a refund.
Does peat moss soften garden soil?
Peat moss is not a soil softenering enabler. It is put on the bald spots of the lawn in order to hold the seed still so it will take root. If you desire to soften garden soil, use a garden lime product.
Does different colored planters affect plant growth?
This is just a guess, but to my mind a black planter will impede plant growth as all sunlight is absorbed to create heat. This will evaporate water from the soil in the planter. In contrast, a white planter will reflect more light and therefore retain more water in the soil. Coloured planters would be somewhere in the middle. Test this to be sure, but it's a good experiment to think about.
What can you use in a raised box planter to cut down on topsoil?
Pop bottles. Put a few small rocks in the bottle and cap it. Put in the bottom of a large planter. Can put soil in over the bottles or layer a fiber cloth (even newspaper) over the bottles then put in enough soil for planting.
How does size matter when you're selecting a planter's pot?
A larger size planter will hold more soil and therefore will dry out more slowly than a smaller planter. It can therefore be useful if you are unable to tend your plants regularly. Plants which grow quickly can soon become too big for a small planter which will stunt the root growth and may cause the plant to wither and die.
Where can one purchase a planter box online?
