On the other hand, planter slabs made of recycled plastic or fabric materials can last for 5 years or more with proper care. They can be cleaned and reused each year for planting annuals, or they can hold longer-lived perennials (or even young trees) until you transplant them to a more permanent location.
Because planter slabs are so well aerated, they dry out quickly once the plants they contain have grown large enough to fill them. So you'll probably need to water the bags at least once per day during the heat of summer. You often can determine whether an extra watering is necessary by lifting one corner of the container.
