Just purchased this planter. What is the black fabric used for?

It is to be used as a "mulch" fabric. Put the dirt in the planter, cut a slit down the middle and across where you wish to place the plants and lay on top of the dirt. Then place your plants in the dirt. The fabric helps to keep weeds out and moisture in. I water every other day - until the roots get to the bottom of the container, then you can water from the bottom.

To keep moisture. There are instructions where to place it. It I remember correctly it goes to the very bottom

It is just the winter frost cover fabric you are purchasing, what you are seeing in the picture is the winter cover fabric being used as row cover over PVC hoops.

the fabric color is black and it is cotton. I would invest in a cover to increase the lifespan.

its plastic for soft roots like cati I would use clay it breaths so the roots wont get water logged and rot

This planter is a pretty terracotta in color. Exactly like the popular pots. ( :

Hi there, its a thin black mesh material. Not ideal for floating the sofa in the room. Also the material faux leather smelled like motor oil (?) And it did not disapate even after airing. We ended up returning the sofa.

It's covered with black fabric on the back. I don't think you'd like it away from the wall. But against the wall it looks great. I'm very happy with it.

It's great for a planter, and added a lot to my front yard collection. Easy to assemble. I would suggest weather proofing it to protect it from the rain. Thinking about getting one for the back next to the pond.

Plastic. So it will never deteriorate/oxidize or anything. Probably the most well constructed and thought out planter I've ever seen.

I am very pleased with my planter and will be ordering more in the Spring. I have used these planters in the past and get years of usage from them. Very happy with my purchase.

The fabric is nonwoven, I think it's polyspun fiber. It works best if it's not touching the plants in very cold weather, but any covering protects from light frost. When I'm desperate and out of Reemay, I use sheets or newspaper ...

I live in far south Texas and we leave the fabric down year round. We try to only have drought tolerant plants, and the fabric and mulch/rocks help the soil retain the little rain we get from drying out too quickly as well as helps keep weeds and grasses from growing (without the fabric, after a rain, grasses and weeds quickly germinate). As for any dead plants, I dig/cut it out and either plant a new plant or put a piece of fabric over the area of the removed plant so weeds will not grow.

Not sure in both directions, but definitely in the direction I planted it. The fabric worked really well and is pretty thick for weed suppression and seems long lasting. I was actually impressed with how much water actually went through.

My planters are like a sand/tan color! I've had them for about a year now and they still look very new! I guess mine are on my balcony which is somewhat shaded and not exposed to too much sun! I wouldn't really know how they'd look if they were in the sun for a long period of time!

I assume you are asking about the planter? I bought it last year; don't recall that it came with any hardware. The railing top is supposed to fit in the middle section of the planter and that is supposed to keep it in place. Unfortunately, my railing was much narrower than the opening on the planter. I had to get pieces of wood and then glue them on the planter to make up the space. After adding the dirt, I secured a number of shims to ensure a tight fit. I discovered that I had to adjust the shims frequently throughout the summer. Also, because the middle section of the planter sits on the railing, the planting depth at that point is quite shallow. Hope that helps. I assume you are asking about the planter? I bought it last year; don't recall that it came with any hardware.

This netting is not cheap but it is really good stuff. I have had mine for a number of years and no tears.Plus the opening size of the netting protects the fruit from the birds. Large birds can hang on the cheaper, flimsy nettingand get to the fruit.Forget to answer your question, it is black
