What can you plant in a 120cm trough?

The 120cm length works well for compact mixed displays. Depending on mature size and root requirements, you can use seasonal flowers, herbs, ornamental grasses or smaller shrubs.

It is also a useful size for herb planting near a patio or outdoor cooking area, provided plants with compatible watering requirements are grouped together.

Do you need to line a wooden planter?

A suitable planter liner can help reduce prolonged direct contact between damp compost and timber. If you use a liner, make sure drainage holes remain available so excess water can escape.

Drainage and positioning

Position the planter on a stable, reasonably level surface and avoid standing water around the base. Good drainage benefits both the plants and the timber.
