Why does it say it's only for plants in containers? Since it's okay for outside, why couldn't it be used on the ground?

Usually potting mix contain extra ingredients that try and prevent compacting or have more wetting agents.

From my experience with this soil. It could be used for outside ground I use it and works fine. I guess it's just the way they advertise it one other thing it's a hevei soil it maintains a lot of moist so just watch that watering. But it should be fine. Good luck.

Espoma makes a Garden Soil for outdoor gardening I don't know what the difference is but I do container gardening and it is very good. You also could probably get it a lot cheaper in a store.

Patricia, it doesn't need to put in the ground to work. It was designed as yard/path lighting but just as long as you flower planter is near sunlight it will work for you

Yes, that is the only way to use it unless you can afford to over wrap a plant. Be careful on your measurements. It needs to go all the way to the ground so that cold air does not migrate up into gaps.

I wouldn't use it for that. Too much for plants only good on gutters if there's not a lot in them.

Yes it can be used anywhere. No need to put heavy plastic under it. It has it's own floor that is made of heavy plastic. You would need to figure out how to tie it to something if you get wind coming through your deck. If you use a propane heater to heat it, leave the windows on the Flower House open.

I only use it for indoor plants but the description says it is for all indoor and outdoor plants.

I don't really know if it can be used outside or not. I use it as intended for my plants. My cats love it when there is enough space for them to lay on and look out the window. ( I have a few these heat mats). The directions say to wipe up moisture when spilled water lands on it.

I think it is probably called outdoor because it is durable enough to use outdoors. I'm sure it would also be fine to use these indoors.

I'm sure it was not intended to be used outdoors; however, it is all plastic so it could be used outdoors. Just would be harder to keep track of the blocks and not sure how the little booklet on the side would hold up with moisture.

There is no reason to use this product outside. It's for indoor growing so it wouldn't make sense to put it outside. If you are asking if this product is durable enough to be put outside, I would have to say no for a longterm answer. It would probably get blown over, wet, and ruin the product. Can be used in a garage, house, barn, etc..

No. I believe it can only be used outside. I've only used it outside and it works great.

This would be fine for shallow rooted plants, flowers, herbs etc. Vegetables such as tomatoes and cucumbers tend to have longer root systems and would not be viable in the bottom tier, which is the larger of the two growing areas and has about half the depth.

The volume of the container is good. You could just use rocks at the bottom to facilitate water running out of the soil. I drilled a few holes at the bottom of the container (it was very easy) and have had no problems. I like the container very much. It is light and holds a lot of soil.

I bought it for inside work only so I never considered whether it could be outside. I am sorry I could not be more helpful.

Sherry Miner's response is correct. The rack is excellent and works perfectly for plants. I now have two of them.

I did not attach legs to the bottom of this planter because once you fill it with the soil, it becomes very heavy. I put it on the floor of my patio and the plants grow very well. Actually I use it as my kitchen.

I suppose it could be placed on cement, though I have mine on a gravel-soil mix that was an old driveway. If you only want shallow-rooted plants (i.e. not tomatoes) it could work. If the cement is level, there shouldn't be any soil running out; I had almost no soil loss on my almost-level site.
