1 Prepare safe work

Check the weather, utilities and ground, put on gloves and eye protection, and keep children and pets away from tools and products.

⚠ Warning: Use the product only for its intended purpose and the dose on the label. Do not use electric tools in the rain, and identify sick plants and unknown pests correctly first.

2 Choose the site and conditions

Choose a spot with at least six hours of sun, check drainage, and make the bed wide enough to reach without stepping on the soil.

3 Carry out the key check

Build the frame from food-safe materials, level it, and protect the bottom with mesh only if you have rodents.

4 Make the adjustment or maintenance

Fill it with a good mix of soil and compost without a thick layer of fresh wood, water it, and top it up after settling.

? Tip: Photograph the starting condition and change only one thing at a time. That way you’ll more easily figure out what actually fixed the problem.

5 Test the result

When you’re done, water only as much as needed, clean the tools, and watch the bed over the next few days. Do not repeat the treatment before the recommended interval.
