Quick Use & Care Guide

1. Preparation: Line the inside of the barrel with a breathable landscape fabric or coconut coir to protect the wood and retain soil quality.

2. Planting: Fill with a premium, well-draining potting soil mix suited to your specific plants.

3. Placement: Position your barrel in full sun or semi-shade before filling it with soil, as it will become very heavy once wet.

4. Maintenance: To maximize longevity and protect the rich wood finish against the elements, reapply a high-quality exterior wood or linseed oil annually.
