WEEDING

has never been a passion of mine. When I was young weeding was one of my chores. And a chore it was, a never ending battle. With our custom or traditional style planter box weed control is much easier. The root system is off of the ground so it's much harder for weeds to creep up. And keeping your growing area free of weeds is much easier. With an ease of reach and no footpaths to manage. Which brings me to my next point.

ERGONOMICS.

Part of the reason weeding is much easier is that the top of the soil is at a much more comfortable height than traditional gardening. No more getting down on your hands and knees for maintenance. This made even more comfortable if you choose an optional bench built on your planter.. (see options) Another advantage is you can walk around your garden and reach the middle easily. Which means less back strain, and it allows for much better moisture control. Which us brings us another advantage....

WATER WISE GARDENING

is not only earth friendly, but a money saver as well. And with your new planter watering is both easy and efficient. Whether you choose to hand water, purchase built in irrigation (see options), or a Do-It-Yourself irrigation technique, you will find keeping your garden well watered with no waste is simple and efficient. With the ability to focus water where you want it, instead of watering walkways and unintended areas, See the irrigation in the options section for more water wise ideas and systems.

NUTRITITION

and value cannot be overlooked. The value of home based organic gardening cannot be overstated. Whether you're after the incredible taste, supreme nutritional value, the sense of pride and accomplishment, or saving money at the grocery store, its all there. And the re-use of “spent” materials is an idea whose time has come, lets save our resources as well.

MOTHER NATURE

can throw a lot at a garden. Squirrels and birds can be cute and pretty to look at, but much less so when they are eating your seeds or harvest. With the optional screen tops, both birds and squirrels are foiled, and the garden is saved. The screen also provides and additional protection from mother nature...The dreaded unpredictable freeze. With the screen top in place and some plastic (or burlap or...) you can quickly and easily cover your garden to protect your valuable and tasty harvest, not to mention expand the growing season. And an increased growing season is always good here in Colorado.
