Level 2 Functional Data Sheet Data Sheet for Planting a Window Box You can grow herbs, flowers or vegetables in a window box. When you are planting a window box you need: a layer of gravel at the bottom to prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged this should reach about 1 5 of the way up the window box mesh sheeting to keep the soil and gravel separate potting compost to fill up the rest of the window box. You must also add slow-release fertiliser granules. You can calculate the amount you need using the formula where F = 2V + 100 F is the mass of fertilizer granules needed in grams V is the volume of the window box in litres. These are the prices of the materials from a garden centre. Mesh sheeting (30 cm 30 cm) 0.45p Potting compost (8 litres) 4.50 Gravel (5 litres) 2.80 Fertilizer granules (100 g) 0.80p Example: 20 cm 25 cm 80 cm To fill this window box you would need: 16 cm 80 cm 25 cm = 32 000 cm 3 Remember that 1 litre = 1000 cm 3 You would need 32 litres of potting compost or 4 bags. You would need to buy three sheets of mesh. You can cut the mesh to size. 1 5 of 20 cm = 4 cm, so the gravel should reach 4 cm up the window box. 4 cm 80 cm 25 cm = 8000 cm 3 You would need 8 litres of gravel or 2 bags. The total volume of the window box is 40 litres. F = 2V + 100 F = 2 40 + 100 F = 180 You would need 180 g of fertilizer granules. Pearson Education Limited 2010 Level 2 Functional Data Sheet
