Mr. Stacky 1305-HG 5-Tier Stackable Strawberry, Herb, Flower, & Vegetable Planter – Vertical Gardening Indoor / Outdoor Stacking Garden Pots Hunter Green, 22.5 Quarts

We use herbs so much in our cooking we decided might as well start growing them ourselves! This stackable planter has worked out great. We are currently renting and only have a patio without any grass that belongs to the property so this was a great option for us to start growing! It was incredibly easy to assemble and we love that it stacks and saves space. When pouring water at the top it trickles down to all the others (although we still water each part individually just to get every part), it also has a plate at the bottom to catch all the excess water that was drained. We can’t wait to have fresh herbs available and are thinking of getting another for strawberries! I do wish it “locked” into place better, it’s a little too easy to take each piece down – would be nice if it had a sort of twist on in the middle, like if it could screw into itself.

Just ordered a second set of these. The first set seemed sturdy and large enough for strawberry plants. They fit together well and there is a hole down the middle where a pole can be placed to help with rigidity. We shall have a stack of 10 so I’ve added a pole.

Decided to try some vertical growing as we live in the north and I wanted to grow strawberries in our polytunnel without using too much space. 40 plants in a 40cm square space sounds good use of growing room.

I like this product, because I purchased two of them, however after I planted, I realized that unless you put this item in a place that gets sun all around it, that one side didn’t get the sun it needed. So, I would suggest that you put a mixture of plants ones for full sun and the other side for partial sun or shade plants. I love the conservation of water idea. Pouring water on the top and just letting it go through to the other plants is awesome, however you have to put water in the first two tiers to make sure all plants get watered. This is a good sturdy product the plastic is thick and they interlock well with each other. The catch plate helps to catch excess water, in which you can reuse to put on the plants, however you have to unlock it and then lift all the containers of plants off it and then pour it on the plants and then reattach it so you have to lift the plants and put them back on it and lock it. It is hard to do it with all the containers attached, so I have usually taken the first 4 tiers off and then unlock the bottom one, pour the water and then lock the bottom one back in place and then put the other containers back on the bottom one. However, it was trial and error at first. Second, it is a good idea to over fill the boxes with soil or your potting mix and then pack it down, because I am finding that, because I didn’t do this, my potting mixture is coming out, and not covering my plants so I have to make more potting mix and add it to the emptying pots. I hope that this helps. I do think it would be great for strawberries, but again the sun issue is the only thing I want people to be aware of.

Decent sturdiness, look cool, enough storage for plants, good color, function as they should.

It’s a great planter for a patio. But not really efficient on big plans like tomatoes and peppers. Fantastic four Herbs

Bon produit mais un peu cher tout de même
