GARDEN HALF BARREL PLANTER BLACK PLASTIC 50CM DIAMETER - X 2 PLANTERS

Product Information

Furthermore, like our first planter the Marko half barrel has a hole, with a 2.4cm diameter drilled into its base, making this the perfect product for planting. This of course means that the planter is not to be used as a water feature, so have a think about exactly what you want your half barrel to operate as before buying. Here’s a more in depth look at each type of planter, to get a feel for their pros and cons as well as whether they’d be the right choice for your garden: Authentic, Upcycled Wooden Barrels At similar money to the second option we compared but with the twist you are paying just twelve quid or so a piece with these half barrel planters, making them the cheapest product on this list. However, the word ‘cheap’ indicates a sacrifice of quality, which you certainly won’t find with Coopers of Stortford. Aesthetically, the design is spot on, and from a distance it would be easy to mistake this planter as the real thing. However, there are no drainage holes, so do with that information what you will. Drainage holes are important for growing plants as they stop water stagnating at the bottom of the barrel. If water pools at the bottom of a pot with no escape it can cause the plant’s roots to rot. It can also become a playground for bacteria which can transmit disease to the plant via the roots. You have options with the Marko half barrel planter, primarily when it comes to the colour. Available in a dark burntwood design or a fresh ‘natural’ colour which is most similar to the colour of pine, I enjoy the aesthetic versatility of this product. Like the previous planter, the Marko half barrel measures 30cm x 38cm, so it’s not exactly the biggest half barrel planter on the market, but don’t let this put you off – there are many things to love about this planter.

5 Best Half Barrel Planters For Your Garden (2023 Review UK)

Measuring in at 25cm x 49cm, this barrel is a decent size, sitting around the mid to large range for half barrel planter. It weighs approximately 16kg, which is a pretty decent weight for a half barrel planter – not too heavy, but not so light that it will blow away on a particularly blustery day. Plastic barrel planting is nothing, it is the straightforward process of gardening, and for planting your favourite flower, you collect some new plastic barrels. You clean and then half barrels it and place the perfect place in your garden or front house of the yard. They are very lightweight (generally weighing around 1 – 2 kg) and require no maintenance. Plus, if the plastic used is UV-resistant then the barrel should not fade in the sunlight and will maintain its colour over the years. In terms of size, they can range from teeny tiny to extra-large, the latter of which we will be searching for today. It goes without saying that the bigger the planter, the more you can stuff into it, but another advantage of an extra-large planter is its increased durability. Extra-large planters tend to weigh more, therefore fare better in bad weather, and taking a look at the menacing grey clouds outside, I would hazard a guess that we’re in for a pretty stormy spring-summer time this year. Yikes.Out of all of the artificial half barrel planters reviewed, I would argue that the Homestead planter is the least authentic looking, but this does not make it an unattractive product. If your garden is neat and tidy and in need of an equally refined and polished looking planter, then the Homestead planter is for you. However, if you are drawn to planters such as the real whiskey barrel planter by Barrel Creations, then Homestead’s option may be too artificial for you. It’s all in the eye of the barrel beholder. In other words, we say that plastic half barrel planter is the ready planting pots for planting your favourite flower, leaf tree, and vegetable in the indoor and outdoor garden and windows. However, if someone likes to make gardens with colourful flowers and design their garden, it is best to make gardening easy.

Weighing a light 1.4 kg, it’s also practical to move around the garden, whilst still feeling solid and robust.
