How to use DIPS?
Step 1. Prepare a hole in your garden to accommodate the outer planter.
Step 2. With the lip of the outer container level slightly above the ground and the tabs folded outward, backfill your soil around the outer planter. Include some soil along the bottom, inside the container as well, to increase support to outer walls.
(Step 3 & 4 are optional if you are using landscape cloth.)
Step 3. Lay out your landscape fabric or weed barrier and cut an “X” over the planters from one edge of the container to the other.
Step 4. Snap the lock-down lid in place on the outer planter and secure with easy push pins.
Step 5. On a tabletop or workstation, anywhere you’d like, prepare your inner planter. Plant what you desire in that inner planter.
Step 6. Drop your finished inner planter into the garden and complete by covering around plant with mulch, soil, stone, or other desired material.
