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

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.

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.

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.

I first learned of the GreenStalk vertical planters from two of my favorite UTubers - Becky from One Acre Homestead and Jess from Roots and Refuge Farm. Both ladies expounded upon how nice these systems were and showed videos on how to set them up and ideas for planting in each. I finally took the plunge this year and purchased two of these planter kits, with the addon of the base (has wheels). I am in love.Each vertical planter uses about 4 bags of compost... I was able to obtain mine locally for approximately 8 dollars per bag. Setting them up is a fill with dirt and snap the water distribution disk in and add the next layer. Was able to complete it in about 30 minutes, more due to the hot weather than difficulty of setting up. Planting was equally as easy, and each plant is taking to their new spot with ease. Add water to the top and let the water trickle through. As hot as it is in Southern California lately, I have been filling the planters with water daily.I would highly recommend this product. Made in the USA. I plan on purchasing additional units for family members who also love to garden for Christmas this year!
