Your Plantabox is best positioned outside in a sheltered but sunny position. They do not recommend too much water as it makes the plants lazy, however, they do need a drop to survive, especially in warmer months. Small Plantaboxes are designed for indoor use but can be kept outdoors during the spring and summer. Your crate should be slightly raised off the ground to reduce contact with the surface of the ground in the wet seasons allowing the wood and the crate's contents to breathe. This can be done with various things but you can purchase wheels from their site to do this - it will make the crate easier to move around once it is fully loaded too. As with any outdoor planter, it will need some care during winter months and you may want to store it in a shed or greenhouse.
