The contoured form of the container base is specifically designed to let water drain quickly and evenly which keeps plants from being damaged by sitting water, but also has a central reservoir where a small amount of water collects keeping the soil moist longer. The Foodmap Container is on wheels so one could move the container easily to the best growing space as weather and sunlight conditions change.
We manufacture the Foodmap Container in Los Angeles County and it's made with 100% USDA/FDA Approved foodgrade Recycled HDPE plastic and is 100% recyclable. HDPE is a nontoxic weather resistant plastic ideal for gardening containers. HDPE is Bisphenol A and Phthalate free. The frame is made with metal tubing coated with a weather resistant powder coating.
