Planters are a great way to bring life and color to your garden or patio. There are a myriad of plants that you can choose from when it comes to planting in your planters. It's important to consider which plants will thrive in the environmental conditions your patio or garden offers to ensure you get the best out of your planter box.

Flowers are one of the most popular plants for planters. You can plant a variety of flowers, such as petunias, geraniums, lobelias and verbenas, to add color and life to your outdoor spaces. These flowers typically thrive in sunny areas and require regular watering.

Herbs such as basil, thyme and rosemary are also a great choice for planters. Not only can these plants serve as decoration, but they are also extremely useful in the kitchen as they can be used in a variety of dishes. Herbs typically thrive best in sunny areas with good drainage.

Bulbous plants are a wonderful way to add color and life to your garden or patio. From flowering tulips to fragrant lavender, bulbs are easy to plant and care for and will provide visual pleasure for years. Bulbous plants thrive best in sunny areas with good drainage. If you plan to plant in planter boxes, make sure the box has holes in the bottom for water drainage.

Plant the bulbs: Place the bulbs in the soil with the tips pointing upwards and with a distance between each bulb of around 5 cm. Cover the bulbs with soil and gently press the soil to ensure the bulbs are well placed.

Plants such as lavender and thyme are also a good choice for planters. These plants are low maintenance and don't require much watering, making them a great choice for those who want to maintain their garden or patio but don't have much time to water regularly.

Herbs, such as oregano, parsley and dill, are also a great option for planter boxes. These plants are extremely useful in the kitchen and can be used in a variety of dishes. Herbs typically thrive best in sunny areas with good drainage.

When it comes to planting in your planters, it's important to consider when it's best to do so. For most plants, it's best to plant in the spring when the soil has been warmed by the sun. This will give plants the best opportunity to establish themselves and grow strong and healthy.

All in all, planters are a great way to bring life and color to your garden or patio. Whether you want to plant flowers, herbs, bulbs or herbs, there are countless possibilities to create a beautiful and lush garden or patio.

Galvanized steel is a popular choice for planters and raised beds.

Galvanized steel is a well-known treatment of steel, where a zinc treatment makes the metal extra hardy and maintenance-free. All byJEMA galva products are made from hot-dip galvanized sheet that is laser cut, bent and bolted together.

As the hot-dip galvanized surface is broken by laser cutting, some rusting may occur in joints. You could say that about 1/3 of the galvanization is "pulled" through the cut, leaving about 2/3 of the exposed steel. Over time, this cut will develop a form of corrosion and become darker in color than the other parts of the sheet. In the same way that the galvanized surface changes colour over time from a shiny surface to a more matte surface. All byJEMA products, planters and steel benches, are designed with these cuts in mind.

Planter boxes and raised beds from byJEMA are made from galvanized steel and are designed with an elegant and timeless style. They are robust and can withstand the harsh weather conditions often found in the Nordic climate. They are also easy to maintain as you only need to wipe them with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or algae, any scratches - or cuts for that matter - have the ability to repair themselves as the zinc continues to develop a protective layer.

If dirt, sand and debris have settled on the surface, it may be a good idea to clean the dirty plates, as there is a higher risk of white rust in dirty areas.

Galvanized steel is also a great choice for planters and raised beds because it's a very durable material. It is not only resistant to rust and corrosion, but also resists damage from high temperatures, UV radiation and other weather conditions.

Their design is functional and fits well in a variety of garden environments, from modern to rustic. The planter boxes and raised beds are also available in several sizes, so you can choose the size that best suits your garden space.

Another advantage of choosing galvanized steel planters and raised beds from byJEMA is that they are environmentally friendly. Galvanized steel is recyclable and can be used over and over again, making it a great choice for those looking to reduce their environmental impact.

All in all, galvanized steel planters and raised beds from byJEMA are an attractive choice for those who want a timeless, robust and durable solution for their gardens. Our unique design and material choices make for a beautiful and natural addition to the garden, and their durability ensures they will serve you for many years to come.

Does steel damage plants?

You can grow and plant all kinds of vegetables and plants in this planter. Galvanized steel is generally not harmful to plants as it is a corrosion-resistant material that does not release harmful chemicals or metals. Zinc, which is used in galvanization, can be harmful to plants in high concentrations, but in the small amounts present in galvanized steel, it is unlikely to have a harmful effect. If you are still in doubt, we recommend lining the box with a plastic sheet, polystyrene, insulation mat or similar. This will also insulate the soil from the sides of the box and extend its lifespan.

However, it's important to check the PH of the soil and add soil-improving materials if necessary, as galvanized steel can tend to lower the PH of the soil.

Overall, galvanized steel is a great choice for planters and raised beds.
