Can I put soil and seeds inside the box directly or I need to put pots inside instead?

It would be better to use pots or long planters. I use pots and works very well.

I would not put soil in it. I don't think it would hold up. I am not even sure what kind of wood it is, but I purchased it for my mother-in-law and when I saw how flimsy the "wood" was I water-sealed it. That's not to say I am unhappy with it. She loves it and she has placed pots in it. It looks very nice. It is exposed to elements and has held up very well so far. Good luck!

Yes, but the plants will require only a misting. If you over water you could drown your plants and run the risk of growing mold while in the box.

The "pots" are each separate in a way and drip into the lower level so it doesn't take as much soil as you might think. I used regular potting soil I think...I know I didn't mix anything special in.

the seeds are very small, and you can't start them in the ground until after the last frost has passed, so depending on where you are , it's probably better to start them in a pot

I would imagine you could, as they are organic. I would just adjust the size of them according to your container. I used them in my container garden last year and they worked well, but I used very large pots. Since they're spikes they can easily be broken in half.

I planted my seeds directly into this soil in pots in my yard so that is what they are growing in. Everything is growing wonderfully. My sugar snap peas are tall and are in bloom. I don't have room for a garden in the yard which is why I used pots.

No, you provide soil and a small tomato plant. Have never done this from seed.

I do in my deep water raft system, but ultimately you leave the seedling in this no matter where you plant it. But your plants will need more to grow in that just the cubes. The amount of soil you use will depend on the plant your raising. These are used primarily in hydroponics and aquaponics since transplanting the seedlings is super easy and no soil is left behind in the growing beds, like a traditional soil starter.

You can plant anything in this pot just add dirt. I would not recommend red clay. These pots tend to dry out faster then a plastic pot but provide a much better rooting system for your plant.

I used regular potting soil and the fertilizer that came with the box and my plants did just fine. I live in an extremely dry area so after a year of hand filling the wells on five boxes I switched to putting a drip line from my flower system into each well. Be advised that if you live in the desert the boxes will eventually get hard and crack. I ended up buying 6 ft x 2 ft metal elevated live stock water tanks from our local feed supply store and usng them after painting them. I used my grow boxes for five years and I think they would be fine for a longer period of time not in a desert environment directly in the sun.

sprinkle a few on top of the soil, and sprinkle some soil with your hand to cover them, you wont need more than a few mm of dirt and you can do it direct in ground or in seedling trays, I do mine in the ground. The seeds are delicate but once they start growing you will have a lot growing and spreading.

It's very easy. The pot itself is basically made of weed-preventer cloth, sewn together in a pot shape. So, the product arrives folded up in a plastic bag. You take it out, and just "open" the pot up, shape it as it were. Think of a floppy hat, it's the same idea. You take that out of your drawer, flop it open, and put it on. With this pot, similar idea. When the pot is fully opened, it should maintain it's pre-made pot shape. Then, just add your soil. You may have to pull the edges back a bit every so often, as you put the soil in. And most important, you want to make sure that the soil is packed in properly, all the way around the edges and down to the bottom. Don't leave "air pockets" in the soil. My suggestion is to fill the pot up to about 1 to 1/2 inches before the top of the rim. Before filling the pot with soil all the way, you want to make sure you put soil in at the bottom first, leaving enough room for the plant and root ball. Also, for the most part, you want to make sure that you fill the pot up in such a way, that the plant will be planted at, or just barely above the soil line, and within 1 inch of the rim. That is a general rule. Then you are basically finished. One thing to remember is, since this entire pot is porous, you may have to water the plant a bit more often than usual. Follow the general rules of whatever it is that you are planting. And also, clay soil, for the most part, is not great for most plants. I would use a potting mix soil, or some loam soil mixed in for drainage. But again keeping in mind that this pot will aid in draining much faster than others.

The beds are as deep as the box, there's no filler underneath. We used approximately 5 cu yards of soil (We ordered 5, had some left). You can plant anything you want in there. I absolutely LOVE this garden. Hope this is helpful.

Yes there is. I used them as party favors so guests could have something that lasts. I provided the soil and seedlings as well. I used a hot clue gun to cover the holes as I didn't buy the little plates to go with the pots and it worked perfectly fine.

Yes. Great product, by the way, since the pot is made from fertilizer and gives the seedlings a boost when you put them in the ground pot and all.

yes, you can. but pots are cheap small plastic ones. if you have better pots available, then you should repot them with special cactus soil. also you can repot them all together in a big pot. make sure pot has a drainage hole. they can stay inside but they need bright light, specially the succulents, thus you should place it near the south or west facing windows.

I wouldn't unless you plan to keep them in the ground or to keep them separated as part of a bigger system like hydroponics. The many holes will keep the soil more on the dry side compared to similar size pots. As a general rule, a larger pot will be moist longer periods and keep the plant stress to a minimum for your herbs. I would recommend the stacking pots like the three from Nancy for herbs (on Amazon) or a rectangular window box.
