FAQs

What type of wood is used for the Greena Raised Bed?

The raised beds are made from 100% Scandinavian renewable wood.

Is the wood treatment toxic to plants?

No, the wood is high-pressure treated with a non-toxic preservative.

Can I paint or stain the raised bed?

Yes, the pine wood is receptive to staining or coloring if you wish to personalize its appearance.

Where can I place the raised bed?

The planters are designed to be placed on any flat outdoor surface, such as a lawn, patio, or deck.

Do I need to line the raised bed?

It is recommended to line the planter if placing it on a patio to protect the surface. For the taller planters, adding logs or bark chippings to the base can build up the growing area.

Are these beds suitable for vegetable gardening?

Yes, they are designed to provide an easily-accessible growing area perfect for fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

How long will the raised bed last?

The high-pressure treatment with a non-toxic preservative is designed to give longevity, allowing you to enjoy many years of use.

Troubleshooting

Wood appears to be weathering or changing color.

This is natural for untreated timber. To maintain the original color, apply a wood stain or sealant suitable for garden use.

The raised bed is not stable.

Ensure the ground is perfectly level. Minor adjustments to the ground beneath the bed may be necessary for complete stability.

Water pooling at the base of the bed.

Improve drainage by ensuring the soil mix is well-aerated and that the bed is not placed in an area prone to waterlogging. For patio placement, ensure the liner allows for water escape or that the bed is slightly elevated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Made from durable, sustainably sourced Scandinavian wood.
  • High-pressure treated with a non-toxic preservative for longevity.
  • Smooth, rounded, and planed finish for a refined look.
  • Handmade quality assurance from UK manufacturing.
  • Can be stained or colored to match garden aesthetics.
  • Provides an organized and accessible gardening space.

Cons

  • Requires a flat outdoor surface for stable placement.
  • May require lining if placed on a patio to protect surfaces.
  • Taller planters might benefit from base material (e.g., logs) for optimal soil depth.
  • Wood is untreated for color, meaning it might weather naturally if not stained.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose a flat, level outdoor location for your raised bed.
  2. Assemble the bed according to included instructions (if applicable to specific model). Typically, these beds come pre-assembled or require minimal fixing.
  3. For patio placement, consider laying down a protective membrane or heavy-duty liner at the base before filling.
  4. For taller beds, adding a layer of logs, branches, or bark chippings at the bottom can improve drainage and reduce the amount of soil needed.
  5. Fill the raised bed with a suitable soil and compost mix.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for all types of soil and compost mixes.
  • Compatible with most standard garden watering systems and tools.
  • Can be placed directly on grass, soil, gravel, or solid patio surfaces.

Care:

  • The non-toxic preservative provides protection, but for extended color preservation, consider applying a suitable wood stain or sealant.
  • Regularly inspect the wood for any signs of wear or damage.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth as needed; avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Ensure good drainage by not allowing the bed to sit in standing water.
