Could you leave the bottom off and let the roots grow into the ground?

You could leave the bottom panels out. However, to make it more stable you might want to attach a couple of thin pieces of wood that nail or screw in across the bottom.

That's my plan. Never tried shallow beds like this before, so I'm not really the one to ask.

I stongly recommend doing this, particularly if you are using the larger churchill and monarch planters, which are large enough to use for edible plant gardening. You are right--this encourages unlimited downward growth of the roots, resulting in stronger root systems and greater topside growth.

I drilled 12-15 holes in the bottom and planted bamboo. Yes you'll want them to drain.

Absolutely!....that is the beauty of the thing. As you lightly push into the dirt into the side of the dandelion root it spins it right out of there. And without digging up any lawsn you might like to keep in place. I love these two cheap little tools. I pl.anted baby Aspen trees with the bulb digger. Beats a shovel by a mile!

No, it has a false bottom with holes that is approximately 1 inch from the bottom. The excess water drains away from the plant to the actual bottom.

Yes they come with roots out of the bottom.put in a well draining pot with half perlite and half cactus mix all mixed together then put into a pot with rooted cutting.

I would. We have sand and foam padding under ours and still have problems with roots, rocks, and clay. Does not prevent anything from growing thru it.

I put mine right on the grass. They do not have bottoms. Remember if you do put them on concrete that only certain plants will grow because of the root system not being able to go through into the ground past the cement.

Hi Sebastian,The Grow Camp does not have a bottom. It was originally designed to be set on grass and dirt but more and more people are using them on their patio's and decks. Any hardware store will have tarps and liners that can be draped across the bottom and fit to the sides. Fill the enclosed area with dirt and it is ready to go.Thank you for your interest!!Linda KelloggUrban Lifestyles

I would do that but using small stones on bottom so there is some drainage for the soil to avoid saturation.

That's what we were going to do but ours died in the infancy stage :-(. I would recommend that you go to a nursery and ask which potting soil would be best as they have many varieties.

Yes you can do that. This plant want's a lot of sun and water. Don't worry about the degrees. It will grow gr8.

no, you just remove it and move the upper one down, use the original bottom layer to add to garden or houseplants etc.

Yes but make sure to burry the roots as far as you can. You have to baby it indoors for a while after beying in the mail so no extreme heat or cold for abit.

The garden is open bottomed, made to sit directly on the ground, or whatever surface you put it on. I do not think it would serve the purpose that you wish it to serve.

Is not hard. Just get it out with minimum or no damage to the roots. Dig the holes make sure that the dirt within the hole is soft so the roots will have soft ground so they can start growing right away.

It depends on how big your seedling or small plat is. Good rule of thumb is just plant it deep enough so the crown or where the stalk and the roots meet is just under the dirt. If you have a good root ball this will be fine.

Yes, there's holes along the bottom. I would recommend placing your Viagrow Planter on a wooden pallet or something to keep it off the ground just for added support.
