Setting up "The Provider"
Now you've successfully assembled The Provider, you're ready to fill your planter and start growing.
Position the provider in the location that you wish to grow in. Its important to position it before you fill it with soil. Once it is full with soil it is very heavy.
To get started, you'll need 4-5 x 40L bags of soil mix. We recommend using 3-4 bags of premium vegetable soil and 1 bag of premium compost for optimal soil quality and plant health. Optionally, you can put stones on top of the drainage tray to increase soil drainage. This isn't necessary but could be suitable if you plan to grow plants that require well draining soil.
Simply pour the mix of vegetable soil and compost directly into The Provider once it's assembled. Then, place the cover on top and secure it.
When you purchased the provider we wrapped it in HoneyComb Paper Roll to keep it safe in transit. Did you know this product is home compostable? Rip it up in to small pieces and place it in your soil in your planter or your garden at home. It will take around 120 days to break down.
Safety tip: Always wear gloves and a dust mask when handling compost and soil.
