Know before you buy
No, this barrel does not feature pre-drilled drainage holes. If you intend to use it outdoors, you may want to drill holes in the base or use a layer of drainage material like gravel at the bottom to prevent water from pooling.
Yes, this pot is made from high-grade frostproof terracotta and includes a 10-year frost-proof guarantee. It is designed to withstand freezing temperatures, making it suitable for year-round outdoor use.
To plant effectively, fill the barrel with high-quality potting mix up to the level of the first tier of side pockets. Place your strawberry crowns in the pockets, then continue filling the soil to the next level until you reach the top, where you can plant additional strawberries or herbs.
The barrel features an unglazed finish. This allows the terracotta to remain porous, which helps regulate soil moisture and promotes healthy root growth for your plants.
While the exact weight can vary slightly due to the handmade nature of the pottery, it is a substantial, sturdy piece. We recommend placing it in its final location before filling it with soil, as it will become quite heavy once planted.
