Self-Watering Patio Planter, Terra Cotta

Comments about Self-Watering Patio Planters:

I planted tomatoes in one and am growing lettuce in the other. Looking forward to home grown produce considering the high prices at the grocery store

i love these planters! The topsoil in our area is very heavy. I use the Gardener's Supply bagged soil which aids rapid germination and root growth. Next week our city begins water rationing and predictions are for a droughty summer. Therefore, the self-watering aspect is perfect for us.

When I lived in a condo, I used these to grow tomatoes on the patio. I had tomatoes in mid-July here in Massachusetts. I bought these recently for growing veggies in the greenhouse this winter. I'll let you know how this works out.

Forgot to clip water drain on one of them

Have a total of 4 containers; bought 2 last year and 2 more this year. So far have used them to grown lettuces, bell peppers, and marigolds. Minor problem, which is why I'm giving this product 4 out of 5 stars - keeping the little ball at the bottom of the refill tube from falling out. Overall good product.

I use three of them along with the tall Newbury Frames to hide my air conditioner. With trailing flowers in the planters you cannot see the air conditioner at all. Much nicer than a fence. Love them!!

It's pretty close to perfect. It looks great, has a good capacity (but not so big that it's impossible to move) and the soil keeps evenly moist. My only quibble is that the drainage holes which must be opened for outdoor use to prevent rain flooding are not at all clearly labeled - they only have "H2O" written next to them, which is ambiguous at best. There is no diagram or instruction sheet which provides an extra clues here - I had to figure it out for myself. The holes to open are at the top of 2 cones which rise up into the soil bed.

I bought two green planters. I hope they hold their color better than the green Terrazza planters that have faded from deep green to pale green. Also, when the rim of one planter was momentarily bent, the shape recovered but there is a permanent white mark along the crease line.

My only garden area has been loosing it's sunlight due to trees growing taller. I've moved my "garden" to my patio and the plants are doing great!

I have my garden on my deck and so far we have nine of these planters with tomatoes, cucumbers, waxed beans, sugar peas and summer squash. They are easy to use and provide all the vegetables we can use, plus some to give away. I will keep adding until I run out of room. Adding the wheels and the cages makes them easy to push together and cover if frost is immenent, so I have been able to plant much earlier and have veggies before the end of June.
