What happens here
Once the construction adhesive has fully cured and the planter structure is stable, prepare it for planting. Begin by adding a layer of coarse drainage material, such as gravel or crushed stone, at the bottom of the planter. This prevents waterlogging and ensures healthy root development. Following the drainage layer, fill the remainder of the planter with a high-quality soil mix suitable for the plants you intend to grow. Finally, add your chosen plants, flowers, or other landscaping elements to complete your new raised planter.
Goal: Prepare the planter for use and add vegetation.
