A few words about the care and feeding of your garden…
Proper usage and maintaining balance are keys to carefree operation of the Rotary Garden. Because of the unique construction of the Rotary Garden, following a few easy guidelines will ensure that the structure operates safely and efficiently:
 

  
   

  • To ensure equal weight distribution amongst all of the garden bins, fill each bin with the same amount and type of soil and water each bin equally. If any of the trays seems to tip to one side, excess water may need to be drained or the lighter bin may need more water.

  •  Do not sit on, stand on or let children use the Rotary Garden unsupervised. Moving parts, when used improperly, can result in injury.

  •  Do not change the orientation of the garden bins without engaging the wheel brakes

  • Always engage the rotary brake after setting the desired orientation.

 

    
      The Rotary Garden gives you a tool to successfully garden in many different environments. However, successful gardening also depends on a number of other factors that you must control, such as providing the right amount of light, warmth, water and nutrients that each plant needs. Follow the care instructions on the seed packet or plant, and consult your local nursery or a gardening book for your climate area if you need additional help getting started. If gardening indoors for an extended period of time, an investment in a grow light will help your indoor light-loving plants to thrive.  
    When choosing the types of plants to grow in your Rotary Garden, the best plants are those that do not grow more than 12” high and do not have deep soil requirements, unless you are planning to transplant them to another garden at a later date. For tomatoes, choose “bush” or “determinate” varieties. With a little research, you can find variants of many vegetables that will grow successfully in pots or confined spaces.   We recommend using Scotts Miracle-Gro® or Miracle-Gro® Moisture Control potting mix.
