Moving heavy, soil-filled planter boxes in urban spaces requires careful planning to avoid injury and damage. First, assess the weight - saturated soil can be surprisingly heavy. For large containers, partially empty the soil to reduce weight, keeping enough to protect plant roots. Use proper equipment: plant caddies with wheels are ideal, but furniture sliders or a sturdy dolly work well too. When lifting, bend your knees and keep your back straight, engaging your leg muscles rather than your spine. For extremely heavy planters, recruit help or use a two-person lifting technique. Prepare your path in advance, clearing obstacles and ensuring surfaces are dry and level. Consider the new location's sunlight and drainage needs before final placement. Regular maintenance like using lightweight soil mixes or installing casters during initial setup can make future moves easier. Always listen to your body and stop if you feel strain - your garden should bring joy, not pain.
