GreenstalkPatented Large 5 Tier Vertical Garden Planter with Patented Internal Watering System Great for Growing a Variety of Strawberries, Vegetables, Herbs, & Flowers (Stunning Stone)

I needed a new planter system. I have mobility issues and have my garden plants all in planters. I watched a lot of YouTube videos Tube videos and settled on this. I just planted it up a couple weeks ago and stuff is growing nicely in it already. It was easy to put together and watering system is sweet. I can’t recommend it enough. I plan to get another for lettuces for next spring and will put that on my wrap around porch. I got the spinner base too and I just love this whole system. It’s very well made and I’m looking forward to years of use.

The Greenstalk is the absolute best garden system! I first purchased the 7 tier, and later purchased the 5 tier. In the images it shows how well the tiers work together. The slow irrigation system is brilliant. My plants are happy and growing daily. The tiers can be adjusted to different heights. I chose to combine the larger and smaller planters and make three stacks instead of only two. These are much easier for me to water. I have planted herbs, tomato, zucchini, squash, peas, beans, and so much more. I am already planning another purchase from Greenstalk. These are amazing because there is little to no weeding. I am no longer fighting with the local wildlife with these up on my deck. Each of these 5 tiers have 6 planters - that is 30 planters in one simple to water system. With some early crops and later harvest crops, I am able to get 4 full garden beds out of one system. The watering system allows for a slow water release that thoroughly waters the plants. These are incredibly sturdy and stable. These are heavy when they are well watered, so consider the Greenstalk rolling carts. These can be direct sow or for plant starts. I started seeds in these inside in the bay window - with a tray under them to catch any extra water. I then moved these outside when it warmed up. This has made my gardening - so much better!

Yes, it is more expensive than others but it is made very durable that will last through many seasons and after sitting out cheaper plastic gets brittle and cracks. I live about 30 miles south of Atlanta so I decided to try planting in winter. The two in the picture have green beans, black eyed peas, basil, cilantro, hot peppers, and pinto beans. I have a small propane heater if temps will go below freezing. Also got the herbs I had in individual pots cleared up since there are 30 plants per tower. The pots are huge so lots of room for roots. So even though herbs look separate they aren’t so you can companion plant in them. Greenstalk has great videos and blogs on their site to give you ideas as well. I will continue using them throughout the year because it will give me more space in the garden to plant other things that I could not before because I didn’t have enough room. I HIGHLY recommend the rotating base. I got the stationary one without wheels. I have grow lights around them now but outside you’ll need to turn to ensure light gets on all plants. I just planted my seedlings in the photos. All legumes are bush varieties. I have a third one to put in the house sunroom over winter with bush tomatoes mostly small plus basil, oregano, thyme, and hot peppers. The sunroom and kitchen are attached so it would be nice to pick tomatoes or fresh herbs to cook with. My sister is asking her husband for one for Christmas.

I could wish it was 25-50% larger. Really depends what you plant in it. Yes, as it is it is one of the larger stackable planters. Am using it for herbs. Does OK for that, though could be even taller levels for me. For instance, the levels are each about 10" tall,,, but my basil and oregano can be 15-20" tall.It is certainly too small for larger veggies like tomatoes, peppers, squash, and so forth. I guess they would grow, but would never be the size I get in raised beds. So will be used for herbs and perhaps flowers.I did find a wheeled base is nice to have, so I can turn it every few days, to even out the sun exposure for the plants. Ended up making my owns, using the wheels off a cheap Harbor Freight furniture dolly and a simple base I made from pressure treated 2x6 lumber. On top of that I put a large drip pan, and then that planter on top of that. I had seen I could buy ready made things, but pretty sure what I put together is a lot more sturdy and capable, as well as cheaper.I will probable make a simple screen for the top too. Leaves and seeds collect in the open top as it is now.Anyway, will be a useful thing to grow herbs in. Hopefully lasts awhile, as it wasn't cheap.

So far, I love it. Right now, I have my early spring veggies and herbs planted so I haven't filled all the containers yet. It was easy to assemble... but heavy, so you may need help. I like that it waters evenly from the top.There are Facebook groups of avid gardeners using this product so you can learn what's working and not. Most people in the groups have purchased more than one and right now, they are loving the pink one.

While I don’t usually take the time to write reviews, I actually felt compelled to write in this case. This tower planter is absolutely amazing! I’ve always had issues with killing plants despite my efforts in keeping them alive. However, this changes everything for me! My plants and herbs have literally taken over and couldn’t be any healthier. As a matter of fact, I recently had to transplant my two jalapeño plants because they both outgrew their pods. The reservoir on top makes it easy to water all the plants because of its design. Just a small teaspoon of miracle grow when filling with water and you feed all the plants at one time. Each pod has holes at the bottom so no excess water is standing. BRILLIANT!!The only drawback I see with the design is that it’s stationary and doesn't roll. But I was able to rectify that with the purchase of an expandable planter tray on wheels. Otherwise, it’s very heavy/awkward to move without it (when trying to protect your plants from Mother Nature).Nevertheless, I am absolutely over the moon with this tower planter that I'll be purchasing a second one very soon.
