I like the tomato kit for its versatility. I bought casters so I'm able to move it with the sun or bring it inside the garage in the event of severe weather or a cold snap while the tomatoes are growing

Love my tomatoe success kit! I've had mine for 2 growing seasons. You can not fail with this system. I gave one this year to my daughter-in-law for the holidays and I know she will get the same satisfaction as me! Just follow the easy directions and you will get wonderful results.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I bought this item as a gift for my daughter-in-law for Christmas. She loved it and can not wait to plant tomato plants on her patio next spring.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Bought one of these for my parents last spring. The planter made it easy for them to care for the tomato plants on their patio and they reported that these were the best tomatoes they ever grew. I just bought another one for my son to try on his condo balcony.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

These containers are wonderful! We just ordered our third tomato success kit for our patio. The tomato plants stay healthy all growing season producing beautiful and delicious tomatoes.

Trying some new things in the greenhouse. This planter is perfect to try for some winter tomatoes.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I just love your Tomato Success Kit!!! The two tomatoes in it look better than my in the ground tomatoes. I can't wait to use more of your self-watering planters. It is especially perfect in my area of Southern California which is in a drought. Thank you so much!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This makes a great gift for someone living in a small space but who wants a tomato garden. Just add some soil, a few tomato plants and it is a complete garden in a planter.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I ordered two of these kits and was disappointed. First of all, I had far fewer tomatoes from these plants than the very same varieties in my garden. Secondly, the support for the tomatoes was very flimsy and difficult to put together. All it took was one deer one time to totally dismantle the support from one container. I will use it again next year, but probably not for tomatoes.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I purchased 2 tomato success kits this year, for the first time, thinking that they'd help me produce beautiful, disease-free, plentiful tomatoes. I have 2 Sweet 100 plants in one planter and 2 Beefsteak plants in the other. Although we kept the water reservoirs full most of the time, they dried out a couple of times. It's hard to keep tabs on the water level, and it's difficult to see exactly how much water is in there. All of the plants suffered from blight. The Sweet 100 plants lasted long enough for us to enjoy a small amount of tomatoes; the Beefsteaks are still ripening on the vine, and we're hoping to enjoy some of them before the plants die completely. We were MOST disappointed with the wire cage and extension. They did not adequately support heavy tomato vines, especially in heavy winds. We have quite a bit of heavy wind here in Minnesota in the summer, and we were CONSTANTLY having to reattach the wire extensions. This is NOT a one-person job once the vines have gotten taller and heavier! The plastic corner pieces are flimsy, and the extensions kept falling over. As a matter of fact, a couple of my plastic corner pieces have snapped in two because we've had to reattach them so many times. For next year, we will probably reinforce the flimsy plastic corner pieces with either twist ties or floral wire. We will also turn the planters lengthwise into the prevailing wind instead of width-wise, as they fell over numerous times.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

still have the older model, grows great tomatoes every yr. only thing didn't really like was the hole on the side of the container to fill with water. can't wait to use the newer one, the filler tube on top looks like a great and eaiser way to keep water level at a glance.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I followed all intructions very carefully for planting, watering, and fertilizing and only used the soil and fertilizer that were shipped with the kit. I planted one tomato plant in the container and it grew beautifully until the fruit started to ripen. Then, I noticed that some fruit had blossom end rot, a problem that I had hoped to solve by using the kit, and when I started picking the tomatoes to eat, all of the tomatoes had hard cores and no flavor. Gradually, the vine started turning yellowish. I also do not understand the purpose of the self watering container as the grown plant used all of the water every day so I might as well have watered it directly rather than refilling the container daily. I do like the kit itself and will try growing peas in it for the winter. Hope I have better luck.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I've never had great luck with tomatoes but with this kit, I've had to give them away or be buried by them.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This product provided more, bigger and earlier tomatoes than i have harvested in the past. Even with the abnormal summer we have had in this area,wet and cool then humid and very hot alternately.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I bought two of these about three years ago and loved them. My latest purchase of them was a gift for friends who had seen mine and wished for one.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

My first Tomato success kit helped produce great tomatoes, but wire cage and extension did not adequately support heavy tomato vines, especially in a fairly heavy wind. For my second success kit, I reinforced the flimsy plastic corner pieces by wrapping each joint with a couple of turns of florist wire (steel with green vinyl covering. Hope it will be more durable.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I was afraid I would not be able to grow vegetables after we moved into a townhome. I am growing tomatoes and peppers with my two Organic Tomato Success Kits. I liked them so much I ordered another for myself and one for my daughter and son-in-law.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This kit is amazing. The tomatoes I put in it grew three times as fast as the ones I put in the ground and are now loaded with fruit. All I've had to do is water it daily. The plants are covered with fruit, and we started getting ripe tomatoes in late July. People are astounded when they see how absolutely huge ane healthy the plants are. However, I don't think it really fits two tomato plants. We planted a Supersonic and a Roma and the Roma couldn't compete. We are getting some tomatoes from it, but not as many as the Supersonic. Also, I bought the optional casters, which allow us to roll the planter around the deck so it gets 9-10 hours of sun a day. The wheels looked flimsy to me, and I wondered how well they'd work on a bumpy deck, but they work like a charm. I'm buying two more of these things next year.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I love your organic tomato success kits! They were easy to set up, look great on my patio and my heirloom tomato plants are growing like crazy! I can't wait to taste the tomatoes!! I also purchased the trolleys and cages which have worked out great. Care and maintenance are easy on my back - no bending required - and the self- watering system is so easy and consistently reliable. My plants have really grown fast, are full and bushy and look very healthy. I look forward to using the system again next year!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

My tomato plants are unbelievable thick and robust. The irrigation tank makes a huge difference

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I am not happy at all with my kits, the soil has caused the plants to be pale and sickly. There is no way to tell when the water is getting low so the plants get dryed out. I have been growing tomatoes for over 20yrs and this is my worst crop ever. I am going back to the old way. The planters are very easy to move around with the wheels on them.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Once we got the kits assembled and the tomatoes planted, everything went well. My tomato plants have done well and grown huge. However, I have lost a couple dozen tomatoes to blossom end rot. The plants have stayed well watered and I used the soil and fertilizer that came with the kit, so I'm baffled and frustrated. I sprayed with the blossom end rot spray twice now, a week apart, and I'm still having problems. Oddly, my other tomato plants in a square foot garden and in cheap pots have done just as well and have not had blossom end rot!! I'm not giving up on these pots yet, but I probably won't buy more.

One more caveat, the reservoirs need to be filled OFTEN. As in DAILY, now that the weather has heated up here in western Oregon. I can't recommend these, because they are rather expensive and don't seem to save much time or sustain healthier plants than cheap plastic pots.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I would be careful if you decide to use this container for tomatoes. The instructions do not specifically say but lead you to believe that you can put multiple plants in the one container - I found that you CANNOT. I have two tomato plants in one container and they are struggling for space.

Although I followed the instructions and used only the materials they provided (dirt and fertilizer) both of these tomato plants are dying - they both suffered blossom rot in the beginning and both appear to have the blithe now. I have two plants that were from the same seed packs that are growing in the ground and they are doing fine.

I will use again - but only one tomato and likely I will put cherry tomatoes or something that will not get as big.

I was disappointed to say the least.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

As I am an 84-years-young gardener, I desire good returns for my efforts. The success kits are great! Haven't lost a plant yet, AND we have been able to share the bountiful crops with my neighbors. The ease of growing and watering motivated me to order the second kit. The tomatoes are doing fine! Some of the children in the neighborhood are calling me the tomato lady!

Product is very good. I wish that I could have figured out how to assemble the cage completely. The directions were not clear.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

We have 2 this year. One is for tomatoes and the other for zucchini. The plants are growing like crazy, and we've had a cool summer here in northern MN. Watering has not been an issue because of the size of the reservoirs even when we've had normal temps.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

As a city apartment dweller, the thing I've missed the most is the backyard vegetable garden. Over the years, I've tried various ways to grow vegetables in containers on our deck, with varying success. This is the best solution yet -- I ordered the kit, and assembled an assortment of plants based on the description of the self-watering whiskey barrel in the catalog; currently I've got an heirloom tomato, bush cucumbers, plus an underplanting of lots of herbs -- basil, parsley, oregano, sage, and chives. The organic mix plus included fertilizer appear to be the very bomb -- everything growing like, ahem, weeds! Even my husband, who doesn't know a rose from ragweed, commented on it. The wheels are a must, because I can't even imagine how heavy this sucker is; it took 5 watering cans full of water to fill it up. With the wheels, though, it moves smoothly and easily, an added bonus, as it means I can turn it so that all sides can get the sun in turn. My one worry was that it would be too large, but it turns out to be quite compact, and I am very glad I got this rather than the "square foot" version. I could not be happier with this, and look forward to a bumper crop of veggies come late this summer. I'm so pleased, I'm thinking of getting a second one for eggplant and peppers, perhaps, or even squash!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Being unable to get down on the ground to garden any more, my front porch has become my garden using the tomato success kit, planter and stand. Just weeks after planting, the tomatoes are in full blossom. Am looking forward to a good harvest.
The self-watering hanging baskets and planters (purchased in 2008) allow me to continue to garden at a seated level and have restored much enjoyment to my life.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This product delivers! I picked my first tomato on June 11th in Central Arkansas...usually pick my first during the first week of July. Two plants have produced over 60 tomatoes in the month since that first tomato; twice as many as the same variety planted in traditional pots right next to the tomato success kit. And the plants are twice as big. Plenty of blooms and small tomatoes left on the plants. I have never had such results in 10 years of gardening either in pots or in traditional gardening! I will buy two more next season. My only complaint is the cost is a bit high but if you like homegrown tomatoes and you live in an apartment like me, it's worth it.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This self watering container is the best thing that ever happened to my tomatoes, They are growing more vigorously and are more healthy than ever for me. I even some tomatoes that are getting red and will soon be ready for picking. For me in the Denver area, that is amazing since we cannot plant outside until the middle or end of May. I have never (30 years of gardening) had tomatoes rippen this early before. Yeah!

On the negative side, the support cages are not easy to assemble. It took two of us and we lost two of the clasps that attach the supports when they popped off and ended up in the lawn. Each piece must be perfectly alligned or the clasps will not snap into place. I think this desing(or the construction of the clasps) could be improved. However, I have had to send for the support extensions so I suggest you buy the extensions at the same time that you purchase the success kit-you will happily need it as your tomatoes grow so beautifully.

These success kits do not disappoint. I am going to purchase self-watering pots next year for my annual flowers on my pation.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The cage was a bit of work to put together, but it was well worth the effort. Tomatoes are coming plentifully. These kits are great for small spaces.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I like the tomato success kit because everything needed to grow great tomatoes comes in one box. The tomato plants I planted in it are twice the size of the ones I planted in my garden.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Living in a woods, the deck is the only part of the yard not shaded. The Organic Tomato Success Kit allows for at least a couple of plants on the sunny spots of my deck and blends in enough with my container flowers that my deck is still attractive.

My tomatoes and peppers are thriving. I am going to get another for flowers!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

put tomato plants in and 2 weeks later, they are 3 feet high - what a great setup!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Great product,because of the way it is designed. With the cages around your plants, the dogs can't damage them. The feed that came with the kit is awesome.

You just need to throw away the plastic corner holders, they do not work. I found pipe cleaners worked much better.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I saw an organic tomato plant at Whole Foods and got this crazy notion that I should try growing it on my Las Vegas balcony. Madness, surely. Especially for me, who's never grown anything!

Being a total novice I planted it in much too small a pot and while it did grow it soon became apparent it needed more space. That's when I found the organic tomato success kit. Perfect! Everything I needed all in one! It was easy for my husband to put together (who is quite handy, but he commented how easy it went together). It is heavy when it's all together, so the casters are a must.

We re-planted our little tomato plant and within days it started to go crazy! In a matter of weeks our "little" plant has grown past the edges of the cage and has all kinds of little yellow buds. All in the searing Las Vegas heat, which is clearly due to the constant watering from underneath. Our second organic tomato success kit is in in shipment to us right now - we're inspired and are going to try growing another plant from seeds!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Great except for direction about closing the cap of self-waterer spigot before adding the soil. Needs to be highlighted someway for dummies like me.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Tomatoes grown in the TSK, compared to tomatoes planted in-ground right next to the TSK, grow at least 1/3 again as large, and grow very quickly. They remain healthy, and don't need weeding. I've bought four of these kits and have one Big Beef (and I don't mean the tomato!) - the clips that hold the cage together are for the birds. Absolutely useless. Worse than useless, since they're plastic waste I have to just add to the landfill... I use florist wire to put the cage together. But other than that - I recommend this highly. Thank you, GSC!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Excellent product except it was impossible to assemble the upper part of the cage or attach it to the lower cage - it doesn't snap into place and just falls apart when you try to work with it. Lower cage was fine. Now that the plants are a bit taller than the lower cage I'll have to rig something to support them.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I had an older version and appreciate the improvements on this update. I also got the wooden box to make it more attractive. Looks great and the tomatoes are thriving. Hope to have some ripe ones soon.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

My sixth tomato kit. I use it for canteloupe, cucumbers, beets, strawberries, as well as all kinds of tomatoes. Perfect for a patio garden.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I used my planter for cherry and grape tomotoes and got a terrific yield. I planted 4 plants instead of 2 (as instructed). Don't forget to check the water daily. 4 plants plus the evaporation in 100 degree Texas heat increases the water requirement.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I live in the mountains where deer eat everything. I have tried many containers on my deck but this is the best. I have used it for three years now and my friends have purchased some themselves after visiting and seeing how I do it. They have tasted my tomatoes before and now they can grow their own. It is so easy to do.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The new top fill are not as good as the old ones. The fill tube dislodges easily and drainage isn't good. The new tomato cages are very difficult to snap together.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The instructions weren't terrific, but assembly was fairly intuitive and got easier after the first planter was put together. It's been a really wet June, but having tomatoes in a planter like this that (a) you can move to maximize sun exposure and (b) controls the amount of water available to the plants seems to get the best out of the plants. It'll be interesting to see how the fruit develops as the wet summer continues.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I can now garden without worrying about the deer eating everything! I have two planters on a second floor deck and the tomatoes and herbs I have planted are thriving. Like others, I could not get the cage together after more than an hour of struggling with it.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

So far I am really happy with this planter. You must keep an eye on the water level in the water reservoir, but it keeps you from over-watering your plants and so far my tomatoes are loving it. The tomato cage was a little awkward to put together by myself, but easy if you have another set of hands. Overall, I think I am going to really like this set up.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have ordered 4 - 2 for myself and 2 for friends for deck gardens. They take up little space and contain tomatoes well. The main difficulty is assembling the cages - it is a 2 person job. They really do not have to be watered much.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The wire cage portion was a little difficult to install, but other then that, they are great !!!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Used for planting tomato plant and cucumber plants

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The Tomato Success Kit is a success! I purchased it last summer and have had excellent tomato crops last summer and this summer. The tomatoes respond well to the reservoir system. If your tomato plant gets really big (like mine did), you will still need to water it daily even with the reservoir. The only con that I have come across is the fact that it is awkward to clean the container out at the end of the growing season. Being in an apartment and growing my tomatoes on a balcony, I found it difficult to remove the old soil and remaining water efficiently. This one hurdle is not enough to deter me from using it again. Great product!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

All this time, I thought tomatoes could only be planted in the ground. The Tomato Success Kit has shown me a new - and better - way to grow strong, healthy plants. Everything comes in the kit, all you have to provide are the actual plants. My tomatoes are growing at an astounding rate and the self-watering feature kept the plants alive during our vacation and 100+ degree temperatures. I added small basil and mint plants to discourage bugs and am looking forward to harvesting pesticide-free tomatoes in a few weeks. The kit is a great way for a beginning gardener to start and I plan to use mine year after year.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I'm enjoying container gardening and this product makes growing tomatoes as snap. I'm experimenting by grown two plants in the Tomato success kit and two of the same variety in another container. So far the the Success kit tomatoes are winning!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I was an avid gardener. Right now I only have a small deck with a townhome while taking care of my dad. In the future I hope to have another perennial garden. For now I have fresh tomatoes in the summer.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The tomatoes are loving these boxes. I have two. The only negative is the cages are difficult to assemble. This is because the clips that hold the corners are very hard to snap on. I used pliers. Otherwise,...great!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Personally I loved the old version of this much better- the hole in the side for filling it up with water was better esp with overflow. The new spout is finicky and filling it takes 3 times as long. The dipstick gets stuck and I can't get a good read on how full it is. With the old one you can stick your finger in the side hole and know how full it is. This one doesn't glide over the deck as well and believe it or not it's smaller even though the dimensions from the top are the same. The same amount of soil came up much higher on this container. What was a pain with the old one was the inner lip/ liner which made it difficult to clean and get that last bit of water out at the end of the season. Otherwise I loved it. Hoping you'll offer this new one as an indoor planter and re-offer the older version for outside use.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I bought a tomato success kit after seeing how much success my dad had with his kit the past couple of years. I like the flexibility to make the cage as tall as needed. The casters really help if you need to move it around.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I am using the Newbury frames with the tomato kit.It does not get any better.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I love this product! I bought two sets, and it couldn't have been easier. I do agree with some that the cages weren't the simplest to assemble. I suggest putting the "c" clips on a step before the directions indicate. This keeps the top and bottom cages from slipping when you join them together. I love the fact that everything was in one kit, including an additional dose of fertilizer to top dress the tomatoes two-weeks after planting. The "self watering" container can't get any better. One of the problems in growing tomatoes is having to water them every couple of days. Not so with this kit. The reservoir holds a ton of water, so you don't need to water nearly as often as with other planters. I highly recommend it. My tomatoes are growing like crazy with this kit!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I'm so astounded by the rate of growth of the tomato plants using this kit that I have posted weekly photos on my Facebook page! We have problems with rabbits, but all other attempts to grow tomatoes on the upstairs deck have failed. The cage is hard to assemble - lots of hand strength needed - but sturdy, attractive and a much better support than a traditional cage. It withstood a major storm last weekend with no damage. Great product!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I planted my tomatoes about a month ago and they're already about to outgrow their cage! I've never tried container gardening and this has been great. I have it on my back deck where the tomatoes can soak up the sun. I recommend the casters because it does get very heavy with plants and water. I can't wait to pick my first tomatoes when they start to ripen soon.

I did have quite a bit of difficulty setting up the cage--it was tough to get the pieces to fit without feeling like the plastic connectors were going to bend. I would have felt better if it came with a few extra connectors just in case.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

• I use it to grow tomatoes –(in my new solar greenhouse (that used to be an unenclosed porch)):).
• Great? So far it seems to be growing tomatoes, well actually the plants are doing that but they seem to be happy. I bought the water wicking soil so that is probably a factor. Assembly was easy and the optional wheels are a plus.
• NSG? The water filler/monitor tube assembly is a bit dodgy. Now that I have the unit functioning with soil and all, how hard is it going to be to reset it if I happen to pull the tube out of it's seat? When I was doing a preliminary assembly, the whole thing fell to pieces more than once. Will I have to dig out half the dirt to retrieve the float and its cage so I can reassemble it? I guess I will just have to be extra careful about opening the thing when I add water.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Love this product - allows you to leave for 2-3 days and not worry about plants getting watered! Our tomatoes were the best ever - they never made it to our table - we just kept eating them off the bush. No tough skins for once![...]

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have tried growing tomatos in different pots for the last two years. It was disasterous. I tried this product and my tomatos are gorgeous. I'm almost ready to harvest my first crop.

So far so good. The plants are growing very fast. The proof will be once the fruit developes.
I love the ease of having it on the patio and it's away from the animals.

This is a really nice tomato kit. Friends of ours had purchased this last year and their tomato's were unbelievable. Hopefully I will have the same success!

The cage was hard for me to put together. I had to have my son-in-law put it together for me. Other than that it seems ok so far.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The two tomato plants are growing by leaps and bounds! Will see when I actually get tomatoes. Too early for that yet.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Easy to set up. Plants are really going full speed. It has been 4 months and my tomato plants are pretty large. Too early for the tomatoes but I expect things to continue to go in the right direction. I like the self watering piece the best. Something that is now on the market for all types of plants and trees. I enjoy the ease of not watering so frequently. The container is pretty heavy when full as it warns. Second level of the cage is hard to attach alone - a second set of hands is helpful.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I THINK THIS IS THE BEST PRODUCT EVER MADE FOR A BEGINNER LIKE MYSELF. I DONT HAVE TO DIG AROUND IN THE GROUND FINDING THINGS I WOULD NOT LIKE RUNNING INTO. THE KIT MAKES ME FEEL LIKE A CONFIDANT FARMER AND COULD GROW WITH THE BEST OF THEM. GOD BLESS YOU AND THIS WONDERFUL PRODUCT.IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!THANK YOU.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This is the third kit I have purchased. I had to hire someone to put the first cage together, I got a blood blister putting the second one together myself BUT the third one was the charm. I finally figured out that I could easily put it together using pliers because I didn't have the strength to push them together. Wish I had thought of it before. The kit itself is great, especially for a beginner like me.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I bought this the same weekend that I got a similar one at my local garden store. This one is larger, but seemed a bit fussier to put together. However, I now have tomatoes successfully growing in both, so I'll have to wait and see what my results are! The biggest drawback to this one was that the cage is quite difficult to put together. Directions are adequate, but I had to get help from my husband to force all the parts into place - and I'm pretty strong. I like the folding cages that are sold by Gardener's Supply; I wish this kit contained those cages instead. Suggestion: the plastic soil cover doesn't seem to fit well. Make it with elastic all around the edge (like a fitted sheet) and design it to pop over the top of the planter.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Purchased 3 kits for my first experience growing organic heirloom tomatoes. Kit includes everything but the plants and water. Plants doing so well I had to order the extension cages. Potting mix works exceptionally well with the self watering pots - plants have never been stressed. The included fertilizer is the best - providing a good balance that yields strong thick vines without too many leaves. Only minor criticism - the plastic hardware to hold the cages together could be a better quality.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This is the first time I have used this product and it is wonderful. I planted tomatoes and they are growing beautifully. This kit makes everything easy. I plan on buying another one next year to grow peppers.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

It seems to be working well, I had a hard time getting the metal racks put together and stay together, and I am noticing rust already, so the part of it that is where you tie up, will not be reuseable, however, overall I am very satisfied.

The cage was very difficult to assemble, even with 2 of us working on it. finally just used twist ties!! Too soon to predict if growing will be successful. It is only mid. June

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

A very good container for outside tomato and vegitable gardening,heavy but with casters it can be moved.

Wire cage hard to put together and may cause harm if not payimg attention while erecting cage,perhaps,a easier and better wire cage can be included with the container,overall a great product.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Somebody needs to take a look at the manual for setting up and watering this product. The unclear and contradictory instuctions resulted in my planter becoming so waterlogged that I had to spend a great deal of time siphoning off excess water with a turkey baster. I have not needed to add water since I set it up three weeks ago. I feel lucky that my plants did not rot. The nice customer service person I spoke to said she had also made the same mistake, based on the faulty instructions.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This was a gift for Mom in AZ. She loves to garden, but the summer heat limits her outdoor activity. This allows her to grow what she wishes on her screened porch. She is very pleased with her gift, and will keep us informed of her progress. We intend to add the trolley to make it easy to relocate should she wish to.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This is the second season that I have purchased this product. Was disappointed that some of the parts for the cage assembly were missing. I had to use plastic ties to hold thing together.

The kits help me have tomatoes in a mountain valley with limited sun and many critters.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Pretty easy to use this one! No fuss necessary over the tomato plants....I just dropped them into the soil. They are growing nicely, healthy and yielding.

The only item I would consider improving is: some of the plastic clips used to secure the grates are too difficult to press into position without a tool (pliers) the use of which could damage the cilps or the grate rods.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I bought 2 of these 2 years ago. The first year, I used the entire kit for tomatoes, and had poor outcomes. We had a great deal of rain, which didn't help, but I got only 1 or 2 tomatoes before the plant failed. The red plastic mulch is just a flimsy sheet of plastic that was torn to shreds after one season. Also, the floater ball that is supposed to tell you the water level in the reservoir broke (although I'm not sure how as it's still in the tube) the first year also.
Nevertheless, I like the self-watering planter and the support cage with extension. This spring, I planted onions which did very well. I have planted a second crop of tomatoes without the red mulch and they did better for me. I can still fill the reservoir and just do the standard "finger in the soil" test to tell when to add water. It is extremely useful if you leave for a long weekend, or even to let your neighbor have a couple days rest from watering for you while you're gone. Despite the problems with the mulch and floater, I still use mine and would recommend it.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Had a hard time putting the upper cage on the lower cage as you cannot turn it over to snap these corner braces together. The bottom I could but had to have a neighbor come and use pliers to clip the upper cage onto the lower. Very frustrating for a woman. The upper cage is flimsy without more c clips. I tied mine together with metal twisty ties. Looks bad for product. Do love how my tomato plants are growing so fast and setting on tomatoes already. Fantastic product. Hopefully can afford another one next year and grow more product. [...]

We have two beautiful tomato plants growing on our small deck. Had to use a hacksaw to make the cage fittings work, but that was a minor problem of five minutes to fix.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have several of the self watering planters and they are terrific. Can't wait for tomatoes in July or August!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

My Husband has always had a vegetable garden due to his work changing he hasn't had the time it takes to keep up on it so,this kit made perfect sence for us to get the home grown tomatoes we love and keep the maintence low.
We can't wait for the first crop of tomatoes to come in these plants seem to grow right before our eyes and the low maintence is wonderful.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I love this planter. In past years, I had trouble remembering to water my tomato plants. All I have to do now is check the water level once a week and fill as necessary. My plants are thriving.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have another brand very similar to this and this one is much better! My tomato plants are growing so fast, healthy and strong. I live in a condo with a nice fenced in patio and this is a great way for me to grow my veggies! I love that my plants produce way more & much larger produce then my friends that have "in-ground" gardens!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I'm using it for tomato plants and things are going well so far. I did, however, had some difficulty with putting some of the pieces together.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

So far, it appears that if one follows the directions, the plants grow like crazy.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

We are so pleased with the growth of our tomatoes using this product. Sorry the casters are not available now.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Three weeks ago we planted our tomatoes in the success kit tomato pot. We then had torrential rain for most of the interim. While my friends are complaining of yellow leggy tomato plants ours look lush and green and are starting to bush out and set flowers. I know the pots are designed to prevent the plants from drying out between waterings, but it seems the pots also prevent the plants from getting water-logged!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The cage is adequate. The other reviews that heavily criticize it for being very hard to assemble are a bit harsh, but I did need needle nose pliers to assemble it. Once together, it is fine, and the clips hold it nicely to the container.
The containers are a huge step backwards from the old design. Watering and monitoring water level were much easier with a hole in the side to directly fill. When it was full, it overflowed. It was quite simple. The new design with the watering spout is much more awkward to read and water, particularly if you have dense plants in the planter- our plants grow all over the container and cover the spout, so we have to move them around to check the water level and to add water.
I would not buy the new design again, but I would buy the old one if it returned.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I purchased two kits and planted two tomato plants in each. The plants have grown very quickly and a couple are already over the top of the supporting cage. The 4 Gallon resevoir makes it so easy to maintain the moisture for the plants.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have 5 planters. I put Tomato in three of them and Zuchini in one and Peppers in the other. The Tomato plants have shown the most impressive growth, tripling their size in 3 weeks. The other plants are growing nicely. All plants appear healthy. The great part is I check the water level regularly but so far only have to add water about once per week. This allows us to travel without worrying if the plants will suffer. This is a great experience thus far.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

We have bad backs, so setting these on a table is a big plus for us. Just the right height. No weeds. easy to use and are used for all vegetables.(Not just tomatoes)We are limited for space so 3 on a table is perfect. We have 9 in one yard and 3 in another.Giving excess veggies to others is pure joy.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I already had one of the older success kit, and decided to get another one so I can grow more tomatoes. I don't know if it's the fertilizer or the way it's watered (probably both), but the tomatoes just keep coming. I bought the green tub which is more attractive than the "terra cotta" colored tub. And I use the cage extentions on both. Can't imagine growing tomatoes any other way. Since it's so dry during the summer in Colorado, it's great to have the soil wick up the water rather than pouring the water over the soil, which compacts the soil. I wish I could retrofit the older one, though, so I can add water through the upright tube, like in the newer one. I had to get the hole cover for the older one to keep the mosquitoes out, so adding water to it takes a couple extra steps to remove the cover (opening is too small for the hose) etc. On the other hand, with the newer tub, the watering tube's bobbing indicator isn't accurate while you're adding water, so you have to stop frequently to gauge what the water level is, otherwise it may overflow. I know there's a mechanism to allow for the overflow, but here in Colorado, we are very conscious about water usage, so I try not to waste any more than I have to. This is a great design from that angle, as well--no wasted water!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The cage is almost useless, impossible to keep it together, has to be wired, and still doesn't work very well. Pleas make a better cage or not

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

My tomatoes are coming along well using these. It gets kind of cold at night still here in the mountains so I like the fact that I can have this sitting in my cold frame on the deck until we get warmer weather at night. Hoping for lots of tomatoes.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

We could not get the large connectors to work. They would not pop into place. Ended up tying the top and bottoms together. The small connectors worked okay. Tomatoes doing well.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I didn't like how the cage was constructed. I couldn't get the top to attach to the bottom. I ended up just using cable ties to hold it together.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I now have three of these terrific grow boxes. They are easy to put together and plant. Then I get to sit back and relax knowing that animals can't destroy my tomatoes, water is always available to the plant, and I do not have to weed!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

My Tomatoes and herbs are doing wonderfully, we needed to use tie wraps to assemble the wire fencing, the "Snap Together" did not work. Perhaps removalbe clips to hold top to bottom would work.
I would recommend this to a friendd, with caution regarding the wire fencing assembly.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Would not purchase again--price high for product.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

So far, my tomatoes are loving this system. They are healthy and growing well. This is a godsend for the Pacific NW's cool summers.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Living at the Jersey shore we are lucky to have some of the best soil to plant tomato. For me however, I don't get the amount of sun because of shade trees. Our upstairs deck receives sun for most of the day so having used you self watering containers to plant tomatos before I desided to try the bigger tomato containers for gardening this year. So far so good, I still plant tomatoes in my small vegetable garden, but the ones on my deck in the self watering container are twice the size and have tomato blossoms already, so now I'm looking forward to some good tomatoes. I also planted other vegetables there, so I'll let you know how well they work.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This enables me to easily grow tomatoes on my balcony. I didn't have to go to a nursery or hardware store and buy a bunch of components and assemble my own contraption. It is a very efficient way to do the job I need done.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

WE LIVE IN A RESORT COMMUNITY WITH A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE VEGETABLE GARDENS. WE HAVE NO FENCES AND A LOT OF DEER AND OTHER CRITTERS.
OUR PLANTER IS ON OUR FRONT WRAP AROUND PORCH AND IS GREEN WHICH MATCHES OUR HOUSE TRIM. VERY INCONSPICUOUS. THEREFORE, WE BEAT THE SYSTEM AND WILL HAVE TOMATOES.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Perfect for my small yard where I don't want to give up lawn space for a garden. My "garden" is already growing like never before with other tries in small ground plot and other pots.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

we have had rain rain rain this spring--7 inches over average. I am concerned that the drainage holes are not adequate to handle this deluge.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Try as I might, could not assemble the cage provided - small plastic connectors just did not work, possibly due to some burs on the metal cage. Ended up using the red and green tomato ladders.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Very easy to set up. My only challenge was the getting the top tier of the support frame attached to the bottom half --- I ended up using heavy tape.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

very easy to put together except for the cage...which was a little tricky to put together. after about 3 weeks, plants are now over 30" tall, and starting to flower. I am very impressed!! what a great product!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

So far, my tomato plants are very happy. My only complaint is that my arthritic hands cannot attach the top section of the cage to the lower section. I wish the cage was full-height with only one section to assemble instead of having to join two sections.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I am satisfied with everything about this product, except that the tomato cage is impossible to put together and, as a result, my tomoato plants are sagging. My sistr and brother-in-law bought this product last year and successfully grew great tomoatoes. They advised me that the cage was very difficult to put together (the parts don't snap in easily). They tried to help me put mine together, but so far, have not been able to. Not being able to cage the plants will adversely affect the yield.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

too early for the harvest, but really healthy looking plants that can take the heat of the patio because of the water reservoir.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

the tomatoes are growing great- very compact.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

When used with the included planting mix, it produces some really great tomatoes. Don't try it with regular potting mix. It does not wick properly.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I use the tomato kit in my small backyard. I purchased the container box in green and it looks great with my green hanging baskets of flowers. It gives a very pulled together look to my backyard landscape.

I found the tomato cage slightly difficult to put together, but after I followed the directions that came with the kit, it became much easier.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

It is nice to have the planter on deck to be seen easily from indoors and out.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Whole system is great, self contained. Setting up was a bit much with having to mix the soil, very messy. Never reached max level on reservoir before water started leaking from bottom and couldn't take spout out to check the level. Seems to be enough water. Cage took some time to clip together. Better with two people if possible. All in all, great system.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This is a great product. Tomatoes are growing by leaps and bounds. Self-watering feature makes caring for them a snap. This is the first year I will be able to enjoy home grown tomatoes without any trouble at all. I also purchased the trolley which prevents small animals (chipmunks, etc.) from having a feast at my expense!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I bought 2 new planters to expand on the 2 planters (prior design) that I had used successfully for years. I was greatly disappointed with the new design and found that it did not work as well. The biggest issues I found were:

- Old design had a drain hole on the side for filling and overflow. The current design has 2 small holes on bottom posts that are not effective in getting rid of excess water.
- My water level indicators were pulled out and broken within days by local wildlife digging into the planter (they love whatever is in the organic fertilizer). There was no way to put the levels back into container even if they weren't broken. The hole on the side of the old design was great to just put your finger into to determine if the plant needed more water! No way to know if the plant needs more water with new design without a level.
- Water indicator replacements were not available from catalog or store (Spring '09). Item back ordered until after plants needed to be planted and no way to insert level after container filled. So another year without a water indicator.
- Cages took a fair amount of time to put together and then disassemble for winter storage. The old folding cages worked well and required no assembly.

The new design is improved in that it does not contain an inside lip like the old design and the lip on the outside makes it easier to pick up!

I'm now looking at my new containers to see if I can retro fit a hole into the side like the old design.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Already my tomato plants are huge! I bought two, and both are already past my second cage. Excellent product and I like the fact that watering is now so easy.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This is the perfect container for my patio! I purchased the Tomato Success Kit and the trolley because my space is somewhat limited. The kit has literally everything you need (except the plants, of course!) and the trolley allows me to move it around to get the best light or move it completely out of the way when I'm entertaining.
I'm really looking forward to lots of tomatoes this year! Thank you for a great product!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Everything about this product is great except the support system which is literally impossible to build. The clamp system is terrible. I would love the product if the support was possible to assemble.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Strongest growing tomato plants

I have ever seen.I have a lot of blooms and tomotes on the vines.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I am just thrilled with the Organic Tomato Success Kit. It was so easy to set up and my tomato plants are doing well.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I am a novice gardener who loves fresh tomatoes. I learned about the tomato kit from a friend who does city gardening. The kit went together well, and my tomato plants are growing nicely and are healthy. My previous attempts to grow tomatoes have never worked out very well. With great soil, fertilizer, and the self-watering system, I have high hopes!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Overall I like this product. However, the wire frames are ridiculously hard to put together. So much so that I never got mine together. This seems to be a fairly wide spread problem as I watched a television show where the host had the same issues and used stakes instead. The problem is with the corner connectors between the first and second frame. They do not work. Nothing with this product should be this hard to use. After messing with it for an hour I gave up and used stakes. Gardeners Supply needs to look at this problem and fix it because of the number of complaints with the cages.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

There is little need to fuss with your tomato plants with this product. I am able to fit up to 10 plants in the container. The cage keeps the plants upright, but I would highly recommend purchasing an extension as my plants have grown so tall that they would bend over the top of the cage.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have two tomato plants,planted in this box and it's easy to use and keep plants water

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I always wanted to grow my own veggietables but can't find a good place to start a veggietable garden. When I saw this item last year, I decided to give a try. I put it on my deck and we got some tomatoes! My then-2-year-old was excited to water the tomato plant and pick the riped tomatoes. This yeat I decided to expand my deck garden with two more kits and we planted tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes and beans. We are looking forward to picking our own fresh veggies all summer long! It is also a great way to introduce gardening to small/young children. They would love to water the plants.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Cage that cane with it is extremely flimsy. I had to use cable ties to hold it together. Needs to be re-done. Fertilizer is good as is the self-watering container.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The nylon cage section connectors are difficult to use and break easily.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Love this product. Brilliant design ahead of your competitors. Produces twice as many tomatoes, with far less propensity for rot, disease, and waste. Purchased a second success kit this year. Once filled, however, it is heavy so the castors are a must.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I had a difficult time putting the cage together with the "snap-on" clips. I finally did get it together and it looks great. I planted the tomato plants and am awaiting my tomatoes.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

THE SELF WATERING TOMATO SUCCESS KIT WAS GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE SUPPORTS. THE TOMATOES WERE EASY TO GROW IN THE CONTAINERS BUT THE SUPPORTS WERE WORTHLESS. THEY WERE HARD TO PUT TOGETHER AND WHEN I DID GET THEM TOGETHER THE WOULD FALL APART IF YOU TRIED TO MOVE THEM. THE NEXT YEAR THEY WOULD NOT GO TOGETHER AT ALL WITHOUT FALLING APART SO I DID THE SMART THING AND THREW THEM IN THE TRASH.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The matter that has my attention right now is extending the growing season. I have two planters on a cart. I planted the tomatoes a month early and have wheeled them into the garage on cold nights. The plants are doing fantastic with small tomatoes already appearing. Perhaps the Fall season could be extended likewise. More later

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Tomatoe Yield Booster Mulch difficult to use. My tomatoes have grown so fast in this container, they are established and are bearing tomatoes already.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Even with supplemental suggestions from Gardeners Supply, I could not get the wire cage sides to fit together. Other supports were too long to stand in the planter. I planted tomatoes anyway, most of which lay on the ground and rotted. The planter itself is great; self-watering feature works well. I'll use it for herbs this year. I recommend it for low plants but not for anything that needs support.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The instructions were easy to follow, I had it prepared and the plants in it in less than half an hour.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

For the second year in a row, I'm growing tomatoes at 8,000 feet in arid Colorado. My tomaotes were the best last year thanks to this product. I'm using 3 Tomato Success Kits this year, as well as growing veggies in other rolling self-watering containers from Gardeners Supply. I'll keep you posted.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I like how easy it was to set up. I am not a tomato grower but I like to make sauces with them so thought I would give it a try. Loved it. Just need to keep the tomato plant fertized.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I am very happy with this kit. My tomato plants are doing so well so quickly. Gardener's Supply is great to do business with, too. Highly recommend.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This is a great planter and I've had good luck growing tomatoes in earlier generations of the product. My only complaint is with the plastic clips that hold the wire trellis together. They're hard to attach, and if not on properly they pop off easily.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have put two tomato plants in and am awaiting the results. I did not like how the tomato cage assembled. I could not get the top part to lock into the fasteners. It would be better if it were just one hinged piece which could fold flat and close together with the little "c" connectors. It rolls nicely on the casters.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I planted my tomato in the container around 3 weeks ago....it is now a foot and a half tall and I already have little tomato's!! Makes caring for the tomato in a pot very easy. It is also heavy enough that a wind isn't going to blow it over even when the tomato is full grown. This is a very attractive set-up.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I am a porch pot gardener and have been plagued with blossom rot with my tomatoes growing in regular pots. I was hoping this product would solve my problem, but alas I'm still getting blossom rot. I thought this product would be a silver bullet, and wound up spending a lot of money on something that didn't solve the problem, unfortunately.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I use this product as a garden on my deck and it works wonderfully. We live in a very windy area and this planter is heavy enough so it doesn't blow around, plus the cage is sturdy enough to support my plants in the high winds. I found the cage to be difficult to snap together by hand so I used a pliers and that worked better. A great product!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Gift to my tomato-loving 83 yo Dad in GA. He liked that everything he needed was there save the tomato plants. Also likes not having to bend. Bought the cart to so that he can roll plants to sun and back to patio in inclement weather. He reports plants are really getting tall, no fruit yet.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have mine placed on my front patio. It is convenient for watering and my plants are really thriving in this system.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have tried growing tomatoes before, but with little success due to poor light and soil. This kit makes it virtually fool proof to grow them successfully. Instructions were excellent as well as the quality of materials. I would highly recommend purchasing the casters which are sold separately. This enables you to move the plants around to take advantage of light all day. I also like the fact I was able to start my plants sooner than my neighbors who are planting in the ground. It is easy to cover up and keep safe from the unpredictable spring temperatures. Growing tomatoes couldn't get any easier!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I want to be able to leave for a few days without worrying about water for the tomatoes. I will see how this works as compared to my other tomato plants that I'll put a water timer hose on. I had the red plastic on top of the soil but it developed moss/mold even though it's been a pretty dry spring in Seattle since I put the plant in. So I took that off.

I like the general design, the directions are not totally clear, but if you read them, think about it and look at the clips it becomes evident how to put it together.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Convenience and ease of use. Wheeled cart a must. Support cage top falls off easily.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I purchased this for my father as an early Father's Day gift, who insists on growing tomatoes every year. But his age is slowing him down and getting out to the garden to water and weed is getting more difficult. Not only that, but some nocturnal creatures were helping themselves to the tomatoes. He insisted on still having a garden, so we have both, and the plants in the tomato success kit are taller and bushier then the ones in the garden. Now, every day I see him sitting next to his tomato planter on the deck watching the fruits of his labor grow! The watering device is great for the tomatoes as it gives constant water supply. My friend has one and I couldn't believe all of the tomatoes that she grew in it. The only thing I didn't like about this kit was that the cage required assembly - and 4 hands to put it together!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Tomatoes doing very well. Easy to use. Have casters which are immense asset. Meeting my expectations thur far.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The instructions were accurate, but could have been a little more user-friendly for beginners. This product was highly recommended by a friend, so I anticipate good things coming from it.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I just planted my tomatoes and they are looking great so far. Can't wait to see the yield. I could have used more little plastic clips to hold the cages together, but overall this seems like a great product for gardening on my deck.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I used to have one of the older models the way to add water on this one is a great improvement.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Good size for tomatoes and fits on small patio.
Everything included(except plants)and great instuctions and advice.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

WE just bought these and I bought one for a gift as well! Right now the tomatoe plants look awesome! So, hopefully we will have a ton of tomatoes!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Everything was great assembling it until i got to the cage.I would like to meet the person that designed the cage and like to see the person put it together.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I had no problem following directions to assemble the actual tomato plant bed on your tomato success kit.On the other hand----trying to assemble the tomato cage became an exercise in futility. I ultimately used "zip ties" bought at [...] to assemble the "cage!" VERY BAD DIRECTIONS AND VERY USELESS TOOLS!!! My added expense of "zip ties" worked perfectly!!!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I love the tomato success kits. I bought three (in green) and found them fast and easy to assemble. I think it is important to buy the wheels for each unit. (Sold separately)They can then be easily rolled anywhere. This also means you can place them in sunshine or shade as needed. Mine are on my large deck and they are simply rolled wherever I want them. The 'self watering' feature of these units is great - especially if you have to leave the plants unattended for a few days. Good size units. They are very durable. They would also be good for growing any other vegetables or flowers - particularly for use on a patio.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Using this for two tomato plants and it's a bit tight but should be fine.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have limited space so this product works on my deck beautifully. The cage is sturdy and holds the two tomato plants upright. I like the self-watering feature so that I am not a slave to watering everyday. I purchased the optional wheels so that the planter can be moved around if necessary. It is quite heavy once filled with soil and water.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

My wife and I use this every year to plant our tomatoes. It is a pleasure not having to water the plants each and every day. However I would recommend adding the extra cage because the plants do grow beyond just the two. I would also consider adding a drain for the end of the season.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

tomatoes are growing rapidly, love the organic soil, some sticks few little stones but much better than miraclegrowor any others. easy to assemble and use. I recommend this product. Liked the special price would buy a third one if price was right.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Started everything according to the instructions and my tomato plants are doing great. Can't wait till they're ready. Great product

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

It's only May here and I already have small tomatoes on my 2 plants (that's never happened this early). There are a ton of blooms too so I am going to have lots of tomatoes in this compact little grower this year. It looks great and doesn't take up much space (I added the optional wooden box; a bit expensive but really finishes it off). I love the built in cage and the water reservoir makes it so easy to keep watered.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have used several other brands and like the way this one is set up. The filler tube with cover is great....no wasps hanging out. It is still early in growing season, but was easy to set up and plant.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Excellent for patio use (when with wheels); could use a larger plastic cover that can be tucked between walls and soil.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The brackets that come with the tomato cage leave a lot to be desired. I would suggest throwing away the brackets and include tie wraps with the kits.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I have one of those fathers that doesn't need or want much. But he has always grown tomatoes. As he has gotten older (80,) he struggles to keep them watered and pest free. He had miserable soil but always got a yield thanks to Calif sun. So this year, I sent him your tomato kit as a birthday gift even though he had 6 plants already going. He was at first skeptical and bulked at the thought of good money unnecessarily going to waste, but a month later, your planter has already outgrown his tomatoes that had 5 weeks head start. He has enjoyed the water reservoir because it gives even watering - the biggest problem for his potted tomatoes. So much of the hassle is gone! So, the magic of this little kit is not that it made a perfect gift, but that it made growing tomatoes perfectly magically once again. Thanks!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

When I first set up my tomato success kit, I saw right away it would be useful for far more than tomatoes. I kept ordering more and planted them with eggplants, squash, strawberries,collards and kale, beets and Swiss chard, and pole beans as well as four with tomatoes. The cages are useful for any large plants. My entire garden is on my patio, and promises a great crop!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

It wasn't hard to put together at all. The water monitor is working like a gem. Can't wait to see what happens in August when the crop should be in.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

easy to use. I went on vacation for a week and the soil was moist when I got home. I tend to water it and forget it. I was able to plant early before any of my friends and now I have tomatoes on the vines before Memorial Day. I am expecting a bumper crop. The self watering feature works well for my busy life.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

To set this product up was a job. The plant is going well but I would not use this item again. It is a large green box that I do not like the look of on my patio. I do not plan to use again.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

So easy to set up and maintain, even for non-gardeners who just want some fresh tomatoes. Great with grape tomatoes - my sister's produced 100's all summer and fall from one plant.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Being used to grow tomatos can be used on my terrace with limited space highly recomended

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

This is our second summer growing tomatoes in this kit. The watering system is convenient and keeps the plants moist continuously. It's a bit heavy when filled with dirt, so buy the rollers if you need to move it. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

The middle clips on the basket are utterly impossible to use.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

I purchased three self-watering containers from Gardener's Supply last year, including two Tomato Success Kits. My goal was to grow salad vegetables on my deck, which happens to be the only sunny spot in the yard (and less accesible to the deer, rabbits and woodchuck as well).

The containers (all three) were a whonking HUGE success - producing better than any of my previous traditional (raised bed) gardening methods. Even if I HAD a sunny garden plot spot available now I'm not sure I'd switch back.

I highly (and frequently) recommend this product.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

My grape tomato plant is doing OK. Also, included
marigolds on the edges. If I could just keep the squirrels out of it.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Watching tomatoes grow while sitting on the patio. Walking out the kitchen door to grab a fresh tomato... nothing like it.

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

We planted tomatos in this and containers the same day. They have recieved the same amount of care post planting but the ones in the Success Kit are almost 3 feet taller thant he other plants. We have NEVER been able to grow tomato's in the salt air etc and this year we can not wait!

Comments about Organic Tomato Success Kits:

Wonderful kit. It's difficult to grow vegetables in our Southern clay soil. Since moving to Ga, this is the best my plants have grown. It's not the end of May yet and I already have small green tomatos and peppers. Plants look very healthy. Convenient, no guess watering system. We even set up a drip line from irrigation system to add water into reserve twice weekly. We have two of kits and I just ordered another one for cucumbers. Thanks Gardner's Supply for a quality product.

I bought this because I wanted a planter with a sturdy cage that I could use as a frame for plastic netting in an attempt to thwart Mr. Groundhog and friends. However, after half an hour of trying to assemble the cage sections with the clips provided, I gave up. I went to my trusty duct tape and had a functioning unit in 5 minutes. You need a better system for connecting the sections -- those plastic clips pop apart too easily.

I love the convenience of having fresh produce right outside my door. That makes it so easy to monitor them and harvest for dinner when I don't have time for a whole garden.

Support Cage very difficult to put together, very flimsy - will not stay together. No "ball" in the water indicator. I have an older model which is in better shape than this brand new model I bought for a gift. Instructions were also very poor. Very disappointed - I would not purchase again!!
