ok, the black fabric that comes with it... does it go in the bottom w/ soil on top of it OR at the top after ive filled with soil?

I put mine on the bottom because I figured the soil would go thru where the water goes. I keep mine on my deck and the self watering thing is not enough, have to water everyday on top of soil!

Kristen, it's supposed to go on the top and acts like a fertilizer. We didn't use it though. Good Luck!

Black fabric goes on the soil. Cut it then plant through it. Acts as mulch. Keeps soil moist and weeds out.

On the top after you fill it with soil. Cut holes for the seedlings and poke them in. I trimmed around the edge as well to make it fit, or you could tuck it in around the sides.

Just above the knees. What I bought didn't work good. I don't recomend it. Sorry but I was specting a better fabric then I got.

No, the bottom is open. Put some weed barrier fabric down before you fill it with soil.

It is very white and will soil. If it is on a hard surface that will minimize tears. I have done furniture on it and isolated them in Photoshop by filling everything but the item. White background makes it easier to select and the dirt does not matter.

The bottom actually goes up the side,it's all one piece & NOT removeable,we had one with velcro and the same problem you have,that's why we really love this one,no way to escape.highly recommend this one.

I don't know, as I am using as a planter. I drilled holes in the bottom and filled with dirt and mulch. This way you don't have to get on your hands and knees to plant and maintain.

I did not use a bottom. Just set it right on the ground and filled it with dirt. If your ground is uneven, you may choose to level it out a bit so it sits straight. The corner spikes do a nice job of holding it in place as the go into the ground.

If later on you are planning to remove it (let's say, for the winter time or in a year or two) then base would not hurt - less mess when removing soil. If it's more like a permanent position than it should not really matter - just make sure there are no gaps between the bottom plank and the patio floor - otherwise rain and watering might wash out some soil onto the patio. Easiest solution - use landscape fabric. It will allow excessive moisture to escape and won't let any dirt outside.

The planter is completely hollow, all the way to the bottom. I drilled holes in the bottom for drainage, added a small layer of rock first for some weight in the bottom, next I filled it with empty plastic bottles, a layer of meshed wire, and finally dirt. This way the entire thing doesn't have to be full of dirt because it would be immpossible to move if needed.

I believe it is the black clothlike material that landscapers use. You buy it at Home Depot, Lowes, etc. You lay it down and then cover it over with soil as a kind of base.

I use a sheet on top of the cover. The fabric is soft quilted but a bit rough at the same time. Great material. Have had mines for my baby for about 6 months now. Washes great and looks still like new. Hope this helps.

When unpacking the Gura Gear, I usually place the back side (the side next to my back) on the ground. If I need something at the top of the big zippered pouch, I just place it on the small bottom side. I suppose this all depends on if you're on wet or sloping ground. If so, you may have to have another person hold the pack while you do the digging. I hope this was helpful!

The ground is the bottom. I put weed guard on the bottom before I put the soil mixture (18 ea. of 40 pound bags) in there.

The bottom portion goes into ground. Depending on how far you push it in, 10-12" remaining above ground.

No, it doesn't have a bottom, the soil is the bottom. I must say this a very nice planter, sturdy and attractive.

There is no bottom. They are designed to go directly on the ground although it is recommended that you put some type of permeable liner underneath. (I used garden fabric. The same stuff that I put on top of the soil.
