Harrod Horticultural Easy Grow Manger The Micro Manger Trough Style Planters are a slimline version of the Maxi and Mini Manger Raised Planters and are arguably the best way to grow your own vegetables, fruit, salad and herbs when space is at a premium

You’ll be producing big yields on a small scale in raised height comfort with little or no maintenance and interference from certain pests; and as gardeners ourselves, we're rather pleased with the small but perfectly formed micro manger planters we've both researched and designed.

Standing 45cm High and 37cm Wide, the Micro Manger Raised Planter – smallest sibling of the taller, longer and deeper Maxi Manger Raised Planters - provides growing options that single level raised beds can't dream of offering - plant your salads and shallow rooting crops round the edge of the timber manger and let the plants (including carrots and parsnips) which require extra depth really stretch their legs in the centre, where 22cm (8½") of soil is available.

Manufactured from Scandinavian softwood sourced from sustainably managed forests, the 2cm (¾") thick planed timber is high pressure treated using a safe preserve. The timber is kiln dried and selected to a structural standard to ensure high quality. The Micro Trough Planter has a 3 year structural guarantee and comes with a thick, fitted, non-woven polypropylene fabric liner which aids water retention, contains fine sand and compost and helps prevent leaching.

Our small perennial plant collection is a perfect selection to complement these micro manger planters and includes one of each of the following, ARMERIA maritima 'Splendens', HEATHERS Erica vagans 'Mrs D.F. Maxwell' , HELIANTHEMUM 'The Bride', LAVANDULA angustifolia 'Munstead', LEWISIA Sunset hybrids and PRIMULA veris.

The narrow 37cm (1ft 3") wide Micro Manger Raised Planters are available in four lengths - 0.6m (2ft),1.2m (4ft),1.8m (6ft) and 2.4m (8ft) - giving you ample opportunity to produce home grown vegetables in style and comfort!

Micro Manager Planter By Karen Best12345

19th June 2016

I'd looked at all sorts of planters and came across this one. It's great to have a variety of lengths to choose from. I think the price was competitive and the quality has certainly been worth paying for. I'd recommend this item and my vegetables seem to be doing rather well!

Easy to assemble, nice functional bit of kit. Only downside is that it is slightly pricey.

Micro Manger Raised Bed Planter By Anonymous12345

11th May 2012

Fairly easy to assemble (especially if you drink wine while husband puts together). The liner is a good fit and this size is perfect for outside the back door. Ideal for herbs, spring onions and salad. The Mini Manger looks good and hopefully what it has helped grow will taste good too.

How Much Compost?

When working out the amount of compost required to fill your Micro Manger Raised Planter, use the following simple guide - each 2ft length requires 34 litres of material. Don't forget to add plenty of organic matter to improve both soil structure and water retention!
