For the Deep Planter use larger stones for drainage & stability. Fill with good quality multi-purpose compost to approximately 4cm (1½ ins) height from the top of the planter. Follow instructions on seed packets if sowing direct remembering to thin out seedlings when large enough to handle. You can maximise the number of plants per container according to their spread.
