Add some fairy lights to Vertival Planter
I have my vertical planter set up with fairy lights and I am very happy with my purchase.
Aweome...everything is doing amazing
Garden year-round!
I am very chemical sensitive so it is important the plants I eat are "clean" which means I need to be able to grow year-round what I eat. I need to be able to grow as much as possible vertically and these towers allow me to do that. I have had a tower for almost 2 years and have grown with great success (for some reason spinach just doesn't like to grow in vertical containers :( but I keep trying). I recently purchased another tower so I can stagger crops better. Consider growing indoors during autumn and winter if you have space next to a glass sliding door or can set up grow lights (I use a both. I have an adjustable 5 bulb floor lamp with grow bulbs so I can direct the light to individual tiers or plants as needed. I'm in Québec and pull the planter away from the cold door at night. My winter yields are about 3/4 of my summer yields.) Initially I tried using the watering system but found the upper levels drowned and the lower levels remained almost dry. So I hand water each plant which is better anyway. I use the top "water tray" to grow herbs. Be sure to get the spin tray with wheels to easily turn your tower for even light exposure. If you grow vine or "fruit"-heavy vegetables, you need to seriously consider purchasing the package of 3 supports. Because they are so expensive, I rigged my own supports in the past but still suffered from broken stalks and ground/floor dragging vegetables. I've bit the bullet and have finally bought the supports.
Greenstalk original
I love it! I have 2 green stalks original. I think I need another one. Growing vertical is the way to go.
Great product but make sure foundation is completely level.
Solid Vertical Planter
Location: Ottawa, ON. I bought the original 5 tier planter along with the spinning base and wheels. For the cost it would have been nice if the extras were included in the purchase price. Anyhow, my veggies are growing great and having the ability to move the planter around my patio has been key to making sure they get enough sunlight. I sometimes don't always use the watering system as I find it doesn't really distribute the water to the pockets, but more around the center of the tier. I just water each pocket manually and it works better, I think. Probably won't buy another though. But I'm happy I got one.
