Self-Watering Trough Planters
This Planter Tells You When it Needs Water
All of our self-watering planters protect against drought, but this one does more — it has a water-level indicator that tells you when to refill the reservoir, and a convenient funnel that lets you water from the top. Made of UV-stabilized polypropylene, these planters resist cracking, chipping and fading, and the sides are braced to prevent bowing.
- Self-watering convenience
- Built-in capillary mat draws water up to plant roots
- Both sizes available in Terra Cotta, Stone or Green
- Our Self-Watering Container Mix is the perfect planting mix.

Comments about Self-Watering Trough Planters:
The mints, stevia, and chamomile I planted in one of these containers are growing beautifully; and the radishes I planted in another container grew very well. It's great to have self-watering containers small and light enough to move; but large enough for herbs and veggies.

Comments about Self-Watering Trough Planters:
I bought two of these, one has strawberries and the other broccoli and lettuce. It's been over a month and I've already picked a few berries and harvested some lettuce and the broccoli is growing very well. I will definitely be buying a couple more next year.

Comments about Self-Watering Trough Planters:
I used one to grow leaf lettuce and it's growing beautifully in this planter. Since the plants receive a steady supply of water, they are really thriving.
Mild chard (perennial spinach) was planted in another. It's also doing great.
These handy planters should work great for growing salad veggies most of the year.
Inexpensive, wonderful planters.
You can't go wrong with these whether you use them for ornamentals or edible crops.

Comments about Self-Watering Trough Planters:
In the beginning, had a bit of a problem getting the water level just right, but my Mesclun is thriving. Started from seed and I've already had several harvests of the young greens. Unfortunately, I'm probably going to need to get a cover as the birds have deemed it their own salad bowl!

Best Uses
Comments about Self-Watering Trough Planters:
Out of the three Boxes the interior parts were malformed on all three. One flap was only about 1/4 as large as needed to cover the hole. The other two don't shut. I put rocks on them.
Pros
- Weather Resistant
Cons
- No instructions
- Water level not accurate
Best Uses
- Outdoor Plants
Comments about Self-Watering Trough Planters:
The paperwork that came with the planter was not helpful. The gauge does not work very well, and I ended up over watering, soaking the soil and losing plants. I'm trying again with a second batch at this time.

Cons

Comments about Self-Watering Trough Planters:
Our porch gets very hot in the afternoon. Planters there had to be watched carefully in the past. The pansies in these planters with 'just right' watering are much bigger than same flat plants we put in the ground.
