Set up your FarmDaddy® in less than 10 minutes
STEP 1: MATERIALS & PREPARATIONS
To get started, you will need to have access to a water source such as a rain barrel or a garden hose. The other materials you will need are:
STEP 2: ADDING THE SOIL
A) Before starting, consider where you will place your FarmDaddy® Garden Container. Make sure that the box will be sitting level. Place your container in in area that will receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight (for most plants). Fill the container halfway with potting mix. Break up the mix so that it is "clump-free". 

 B) Generously add water and mix thoroughly until saturated.
Add the remaining potting mix to the box, filling it to the brim. Break up any remaining clumps. Spread the mix out for a level finish. 

 C) Water once more while placing hands into the potting mix. Make sure there are no dry spots. Create a groove down the center length of the FarmDaddy® garden box as shown.
STEP 3: FERTILIZE AND PLANT
A) Pour the fertilizer evenly into the groove. Cover the fertilizer with potting mix and even out the surface. Stretch the weed cover over the top of the garden container.

 B) Cut holes in the top cover. See our Seed Placement Guide below for plant placement. Using your fingers, create a hole in the potting mix. Place the seedling/seed into the hole. Push the mix around it to hold it firmly in place.

 C) You're almost done! Water each seedling/seed thoroughly and connect the hose to the FarmDaddy® garden box. Turn on the water and "Grow Like A Pro!"
