Recommended Planting Guidelines
Confined planting areas e.g. planter boxes, rooftop gardens Provide as large a container/root space as possible and consider ideal plant species for situations. As plants will be growing in a confined area and can easily be stressed through water shortage sustainable methods of watering/ irrigation will be required. Also, plants are easily overwatered so it is equally important to provide adequate drainage. When using a tub or planter box a planting mix with high mineral content and mostly made up of soil is important and ensure the planter box has a weep hole.
