Can I use these as outdoor planters?

The dirt would leak out the vents, so you would need to line them. Otherwise, sure why not.

I suppose you could if you line the bins and allow for drainage somehow. It should be noted that the corners are very sharp, so placement would matter as far as unsuspecting, exposed summer legs would go. They come with black corner guards, which I have deemed necessary to my personal safety!

I don't really see why not except for they are not as heavy gauge metal as oval galvy tubs I have used as planters before. If not filled with dirt to top I would think they would hold up just fine. Would probably make a good cold frame.

They won't work for holding the plants in a pallet vertical garden, unfortunately. They are made of jute and will rot right away from the moisture. I made a pallet vertical garden this summer and used landscape fabric (doubled) on the back side of each pallet and it's working beautifully. I used the burlap bags to wrap around some 5-gallon Home Depot buckets I converted into planters, and they work great for that--and have just the earthy, organic look I was seeking. I tied twine around the top of each bucket to secure the cool coffee bags in place. I also filled a few with soil for planting potatoes and they are working great for that as well, although the bottoms rotted out in a few days. But they don't need to be moved until I harvest the potatoes and the sides are doing fine and look soooo great. They are worth it for a one-year investment. Good luck!

They just come in small black greenhouse production pots. Not too attractive. You could replant them into nicer 2" to 3" planters, but it would probably be easier to make a decorative wrap with foil or paper using the existing planter, and tie with some nice ribbon. A nice wide decorative ribbon might work all by itself. Your florist could probably give you some good ideas.

I suppose you could plant them outside but they are intended for sprouting jar. If you plant the outdoors you will get alphalfa and radishes. :-)

Use a planter that you can take inside and you can plant them now. Less water is better.

No. They can be displayed all together or seperatly. Do not "plant" them in soil

No, these are not rated for outdoor use. If you have any other questions just let us know!

These are not protected from rain etc., and so are not rated for outdoor use. However wrapping them in permanent watertight plastic, AND with necessary draining hole or provision IN THE BOTTOM should make them usable outdoors.

Yes can be used outside as long as it is above freezing and out of the weather for all kinds of plants.

These are more for outdoor use . . don't think these are what you would want.

Yes they can be used outdoors. I have had mine outside for about over a year. They work perfectly, rain or shine.

No, they are for hydroponic use only. Use coco plugs or starter cubes for soil planting outdoors

You could probably use them but I didn't have any good luck with mine in miracle garden soil. Good luck. In the past I have always had very good luck with Miracle Grow products.

No. Unless they are protected from the rain and from freezing temperatures, then they could be used outside

Probably would work fine. They might be a bit to large for small seedling pots, but you can break the stakes into small pieces if you'd like to use them in small pots.

I think so. The planter is basically a bag suspended on three stainless steel wires. It comes with a cap but you could leave the cap off and plant flowers there. Put a drip irrigation tube into the top of the planter and you're good! That said, don't plan on the planter lasting more than MAYBE two years. Unfortunately, they deteriorate in the sunlight and fall apart.
