Comments about Self-Watering Patio Planters:
I have the planter on a defunct air conditioner unit. Because of the construction of the unit, the planter filled with water. Once I put a few pieces of tile under the back side of the unit I was able to allow the planter to drain properly. The "fill window" does need to be left open to allow the water to drain from the box. That is not ideal, as bugs can get in and go for a swim, but it is a planter, so bugs are to be expected anyway.
Pros
- Drains Well
- Holding Capacity
- Sturdy
- Weather Resistant
Cons
- Heavy / Bulky

Comments about Self-Watering Patio Planters:
I own 3 of these for my deck right outside my kitchen where I grow herbs and lettuces. I have them on wheels because this deck gets only part sun and I can roll them around during the day to get the strongest light.
Best part: I travel during the summer and I don't have to stress about watering! They are self-maintaining - think I added water maybe twice all summer last year and had herbs all season long.
One of them arrived damaged -I called and they replaced the part immediately - no questions, problem at all.

Comments about Self-Watering Patio Planters:
I have ordered many of these self watering planters over the years. Great for a patio or deck. This design appears will be better to prevent flooding of the planter in heavy rains, which was a problem I had with the last model. Overall well made, I am a bit concerned that the plastic door cover for the well will break if opened a lot. Good size planter, I have grown cherry tomato plants in these previously, but I would not recommend it for plant that has a deep root system, since the water reservoir does take up a good amount of the base of the planter. These planters have been useful for my vacation house, keeps the plants moist for a week or so.

Comments about Self-Watering Patio Planters:
I bought this to create a "kitchen" garden to conveniently locate on my deck and patio and to augment my small vegetable which is a ways from the house. I have added the casters so I am able to change locations as necessary to control the amount of sun. I haven't planted yet (still too cold) but I have purchased similar Terrazza planters in the past which have worked really well.
Pros
- Drains Well
- Holding Capacity
- Sturdy
- Weather Resistant
Cons
- Watering Doors Are Flimsy

Comments about Self-Watering Patio Planters:
I have bought 26 of these self-watering containers. I have used them in drought ridden arkansas for 2 years and only wish they made a deeper version to compliment the ones I already have. I have grown tomatoes, peppers, corn, squash, eggplants, okra, and herbs of all kinds. I found that combining these planters with a drip system has kept my garden growing even in heavy drought and 113 degree weather. I overwintered kales of 4 varieties and mustards of 3 and had greens at least once a week and for juicing this winter (but it was a mild winter and I removed the drip irrigation.) The 4 gallon reservoir is a godsend for tomatoes.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
