Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
These self-watering containers are terrific! They hold many plants and look beautiful. The water container is large enough that I can water every other day (unless it is extremely hot & then I must refill more frequently). We have a terrace that gets lots of sun and wind and my flowers look lovely in this planter.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I live in a townhouse with an association with lots of covenants restricting what I can do. Since this stand and planter is not permanently affixed to anything this product fits my needs perfectly. It adds nice eye appeal and looks attractive. The two-tiered stand fits perfectly just under my window and the stand is innocuous enough to not look out of place with other plantings. It is easy to put the stand together, it uses only two screws. But, the joints came apart very easily when I tried to put the planter in place. I used black electrical tape, or duct tape would work, to tape each joint - which was a little tedious - but now the unit has much greater stablility and allows me to adjust its placement. The window boxes fit the stand perfectly and the water reservoir is a very useful feature. I'm considering buying a second one next spring.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I'm using my tiered stand on my patio to grow my carrots in one tier,and lettace in the other tier. No bunny nibbling !
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I'm using this for my herbs. Thus far, it has worked fabulously, but I wish the frame was a bit stronger. I would like this to last for several years.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
So nice to be worry free when I travel, don't have to have a neighbor water my plants!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Absolutely love the design of this product...fits perfectly in the spot I wanted to fill and as I am not always home to do daily watering...the self watering addition is a good fit for me. Have placed all size and different plantings in the planters and it looks wonderful. Love it..
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I am using this planter on my deck to grow vegetables and it is working out just great! It was very easy to assemble and is fairly priced for what you receive. I would recommend it to everyone!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Easy to assemble, attractive and holds several heads of lettuce and a trailing flowering plant, making it look "off the pages" of the best home and garden magazine! You make it easy for us to do well with our efforts!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
i love this planter. i did not know how large it would be, but i was pleasently suprised. the herbs i planted are doing great and it matches perfectly with our decor! this is a great product! i highly recommend it!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I used this as a vegetable and herb garden on our patio last year and it was great. I'm just starting to grow different vegetables and herbs and this made it very easy to have great results! This is the 2nd one that I have purchased.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
it's a nice way to organize and present my patio herb garden
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Love the looks and concept. But one of the reservoirs has a leak---I just received it, so the leak came from the factory.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Started a year ago to grow vegetables from seed and then planting them in a raised flower bed. This year I expanded my repertoire to include a large variety of herbs. This planter is ideal! It is a space saver, easy on your back, and looks great. I loved it so much I bought 3 more! Make sure to buy the recommended soil "self-watering container mix" for this planter. I highly recommended this product with no reservations. Enjoy your gardening in comfort and style.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I've only had them for a couple of weeks. The boxes themselves seem like they work well enough. The rack is lacking. Assembly is essentially male/female square couplings but with nothing holding them together but friction. You can put the whole thing together, sans boxes, pick it up by the top and have the whole bottom fall apart. For me, it's not like to be moved, but pretty shabby construction for the price paid. You pay a lot of money for the concept but I bet the frame and molded plastic boxes cost only a few dollars to actually make.
I can't speak to how well it will hold up. The boxes look like they will work well for my herbs and peppers. Still worth recommending if you don't mind paying too much.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I bought two of these to create an indoor winter garden in front of a slider by our wood stove. Unfortuantely I intended to use the self watering feature to cut back on watering time. However, the design kept the dirt too wet causing some of my seedlings to drown, some of my plants to rot, and invite the wonderful gnats that love wet soil. I have since stopped using that feature and water as I see fit and my gnats are gone and the plants are starting to recover. Overall a great addition as a pot set up. (I'll soon have fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes from my set up. And already have lots of fresh herbs and peppers)
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Great...I just painted the planter portion black to better suit my decor! I finally had flowering annuals this year...without being eaten by my "ground hog" family.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
disappointed by one leaking tier; must compensate by remembering to water it daily

I have had the stand replaced and again it has rusted through. It looks so nice where it sits but the paint chipping off drives me nuts.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I use this outside my window at school (middle school science teacher).
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
The assembly instructions were not very specific, but it wasn't hard to figure out. I have the 3-tier planter, and it's really very, very pretty. I'm growing lettuce in it right now.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have a bad back and this planter raised my entire herb garden off of the ground and moved it to my deck. It made it easier for me to tend and I could smell the various herbs which could win prizes this summer! What a great purchase.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
We wanted something to add beauty outside of our new spa room. This was a perfect choice. Our area is quite windy. We planted flowers "off" the ground and the item rests against our pavilion shed nicely. We get both the beauty of the arrangement, neatness of the shelves, and yet is easy to weedeat around the bottom posts to keep our yard looking grand. Thanks
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
We had a deck built this year and wanted attractive planters to display annuals and herbs. The self-watering planter boxes are attractive and practical since they can be moved as needed to either follow or avoid the sun. We were so pleased with the first box that we bought a second one, and they look very nice displayed either side by side, separated, or at right angles.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
These planters work better than some of the other products in hot climates, especially when placed in a shady area. They add some color and look good on a patio.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
second unit purchased, use for herbs, and small
plants
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
We have a large stone porch we like to sit in during rain storms that my wife wanted to grow herbs on. The three tiered planter is just perfect for that purpose. Not only does it make a great herb garden,but it makes for something really nice to look at.

trying something new, also lettuce doesn't grow well
in ground and raised beds with snails and slugs.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Need time to see if the finish on the stand will last or will it Rust. Wish the sections were a tighter fit or were held by screws. Other than that a good product.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Looks great. The best part is I don't have to water every day.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
We have 10 different herbs growing in the three tiers. They are thriving; I have had to thin several times already. I believe this is in part due to the consistent water availability to the roots. The water level indicator seems fairly accurate.
We have had several compliments regarding how attractive the planter looks. It has been a perfect addition to our garden.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have lately restricted my gardening ambitions to patio pots because of health reasons. This planter is an attractive solution for a space saving garden. The raised boxes minimize bending, maximize sun exposure and are very good looking. Yes, the stand is flimsy, as some have reported, but that is by design. Only gravity holds the support together, but the advantage is the whole thing can be broken down and nested for winter storage.
My planters now hold a variety of herbs and some pepper plants. The water capacity is excellent, and the plants are thriving--the peppers set blossoms in less than two weeks. I've very pleased with this purchase.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I wanted to try growing cherry tomatoes and basil. Being disabled, a self-watering planter that would not need daily water added sounded ideal. This planter is attractive and with the plants up off the ground the critters do not eat them. However, the planter needs water added at least every other day and that is a tremendous disappointment.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have eight bulbs ..four on top and four on the second level. I can't get out to garden, this has been a great alternative for me.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
My husband bought the three tier set to use for my kitchen herbs and I LOVE IT! Even with the unseasonal heat the soil is visibly moist! The soil is lovely, as well! All in all I couldn't have been more pleased. The only thing I might have changed was the depth of the box. But that doesn't change the way I feel about this product!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Last year I was very disapointed when the only beings that enjoyed the lettuce I planted were the rabbits.
So far this year, I've trimmed off enough lettuce for six HUGE bowls.
I love the elevation. The self watering feature is a plus. I don't over water or under water. Thank you.

I am using this for my tomatoes and herbs

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Nice planter. Have had mine for two or three years. Disappointed to see the back half of the stand rusting and wearing away. The stand sits on concrete.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Put it against the cabana in the pool area
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have a history of over or under watering plants. I decided this year to try a few vegetables and found several plus two flower plants that need the same conditions. This systems has given me the confidence to try gardening again!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I needed some place to plant herbs that would be in full sun and close to the kitchen. This planter setup works very well. Also we travel alot and this planter with the growing mixture is self watering.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I placed the planter to the front of my house as a focal point. I am amazed how well the self-watering aspect works. It is a novel invention & my flowers look beautiful.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Gave to daughter as a gift--she was very pleased and planted herbs in it.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I can fill up the reservoirs in these before a business trip and not have to worry while I'm gone for at least a week (longer if it's not too hot). I'm currently using them for a back patio herb garden and am pleased with their functionality. Look and construction is a little on the cheap side, but the convenience is worth it.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Looks good. Keeps plants watered appropriately
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Right now i sits on my deck and looks like like your picture above. Nice looking but empty!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
We are using this for our fresh herbs. We are cooking fanatics and this is perfect for growing a herb garden. We also travel, so the self watering feature is perfect for us.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
You never have to water from the top.
Everything is growing very fast and looks good.
If I had the room I would buy more planters.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I couldn't find these planters anywhere but here!! This is my second purchase of these planters and I recommend them to everyone. I manage a senior living community that is housed in an historic brick building. These planters bring such vibrant life to the building - everyone just raves about the beauty of the two-tiered flowers and how it compliments the building. They hold water and drain well so I don't have to water everyday - helpful to a busy manager. Thanks for selling such a great product!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
This is perfect for our small front porch. It has really another level to our garden, and dressed up a bare spot. It is simple to assemble, and very sturdy.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Except that walls of planter containers are on the thin side & will crack with sun exposure,design is right on & the racks themselves are extremely heavy duty and sturdy.Well worth the price.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I've set mine up on the small balcony of my condo as a kitchen garden - radishes, carrots, and a variety of greens planted as seeds. All are up and thriving. It's serving dual duty, providing some privacy from the neighbors. I haven't given it 5 stars only because I've just set it up. We'll see how it survives the soggy NW winter - I have great hopes!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Stand a little flimsy. Like to see more designs and colors.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Resently assembled the item for the new sun room. Since I bought it several months ago I could not return it. I'm shocked that it's so flimsy, can't move it around without removing the planters for fear of it collapsing.

Look forward to setting it up and planting flowers this spring.... things are a little frozen in Minneapolis right now.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I had searched for a year when I found this product. This elevated planter is used for herbs and even waters my plants. We have it on our terrace, just under the study window, affording us a lovely display.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I am using this for an herb garden started outdors but will bring inside over the winter for wonderful fresh herbs in my cooking. I love it!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Have this item on our sunny back patio, with rosemary, two basil plants, mint, parsley and two pepper plants in it. Def. works as advertised considering the basil plants have gotten huge and we have two peppers well on their way to the table! Would like to have another one so as to expand our "harvest" next year!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
These planters have grown the largest basil plants I have ever seen.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I purchased two of the three-tier planters--what a dynamite display!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I've moved to a home on a small piece of property and needed something to take the place of a greenhouse. I have been propagating plants from cuttings and leaving the planters on my window edge. I would mist them twice a day for 20 minutes. These cascade planters have wonderfully taken the place of my window edge. I have filled the bottom with small pebbles so there is no access to standing water for the mosquitoes. I have attached a misting hose in between the the two planters with electrical ties and set a timer. It is perfect, and I do not have to worry about any water damage to my window edge.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I love this planter. I used to grow my herbs in pots on my porch, but it is under construction this summer so I needed an alternative. I wanted to keep my herbs off the ground. I am very pleased that it comes with the self-watering pots, as that is quite a savings. The only drawback (and it's a small one) is that the assembly instructions could be a bit clearer. I highly recommend this product.

I planted taller plants in the back and cascading bacopa in the front. Lovely!
I wish the planters were clay instead of plastic to make them more attractive.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I was tired of choosing between my herbs and plants or weekends away during the summer. This investment let's me grow a great garden and not worry about whether or not it will rain. The self watering system is wonderful for container gardeners like myself.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Self watering planters are very nice and work well. The stand is terrible. It is steel and not very well painted so it arrived already rusting. Even well painted I cannot imagine stands of this price being made of steel (vs. aluminum or at least poweder-coated). In addition the pieces primarily just sit inside each other so if you lift it to move it the pieces all start to fall out except for the one or two that actual do screw together.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
With the hot sun on our deck, I could never keep my plants watered. This product works great, my soil is always moist. It even worked great to start plants for the garden. I want to buy a couple more.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
It fills an empty spot perfectly. Self-watering makes for easy care.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
We grow all our herbs, lettuce, shallots and leeks on our patio, so it's just a hop out the door for fresh salad ingredients. It's the best thing we have ever seen and tried. We bought another for our son and his wife because we were so impressed with the product!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Quick and easy assembly. Very sturdy esp. compared to similar models. Bonus features that I didn't expect like stabilizers for the actual planter and measuring devices to measure the stored water. Looks great filled with outdoor plants on the patio.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have animals that eat my plants, the tiered planter keeps my landscape investments growing! I work full time and this planter keeps the flowers watered even if in the full sun. It brings flowers to a brick entry, it was less expensive than tearing up the brink to put in a permanant planter.

I grow veggies and strawberries; convenient way to have fresh salads.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Assembly is fast and easy. The metal frame is sturdy and has a nice powder-coat finish. The planter boxes are thick plastic. We are using this for herbs and flowers on our deck. The metal framework raises the planter boxes high enough to limit bending and stooping to tend the plants.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
We had trouble with the stand; it began to rust the first season and by the second had to be replaced. We did get replacement but still, I expected more from this companies products. We now have it set up off the ground to try and prevent the rusting again. The idea is great, just needs improved upon.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have the 3 tier one. Pricey but very attractive. Not sure the water guide is especially accurate. Soil gets very dry even though the indicator shows water in the reservoir.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I purchased this product for my elderly mother who can not bend to garden anymore. She is delighted to be able to plant her veggies and flowers without having to wait for someone to come over to her house to weed for her.She is shorter so the top planter is just the right height for her. If the lower planter was just a little higher it would be perfect. It would be wonderful if all the legs on the planter could be adjusted (telescoped) and still remained sturdy.
I am very pleased with my purchase as is my mother. Thank you
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Very pleased with this product. Attractive design, easy to assemble and stands up to my Pittsburgh weather. Growing outdoor plants and lettuce from seed and both are flourishing.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
attractive design for my back deck along the railing.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I really liked the look of this product in the catalog and was really intrigued by the self watering feature. I decided to try it out and I must say I love it. I have it on a side deck and believe it or not I am growing leaf lettuce in one level and geraniums in the second level. When I need a salad, I just go out and snip a few leaves right from the planter on my deck. The self watering feature is great for busy people and the unit was easy to assemble and attractive. I would like more color choices though for the actual pots (possibly green).
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
As a patio planter to display both upright and cascading plants. The height makes it easy to maintain the plants and harvest herbs. It really could use a sturdy wheeled base.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have lettuce, radishes, carrots, onions, cucumbers, and spinich growing in mine. They are working great. They are on the patio so I don't have to worry about the deer getting to them. Can't wait for a great salad.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
It works out great where I don't have much space but want to grow some vegetables and herbs
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
It looks good and now holds my whole herb garden. The self-watering feature is helpful, but the gauges don't work and so you have to check the water levels. It was easy to assemble and looks nice. I wish the pots came in more colors.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
The planters display well outside our sunroom, to the point that we purchased 3 units to have one each under our windows.
Assembly was very easy. The only issue I have is minor, and that being that the water cap is connected to the printer using the same plastic material that the planter is fabricated from. It is like an umbilical cord for the cap, but it is so rigid that it easily cracked on one of the planters. The design was obviously done to keep down material cost but it definitely can be improved.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
The planter was very quick and easy to assemble, and is a great addition to my patio and 'mini garden.' It seems to hold an adequate amount of water ... the water gauges are like the best!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
This worked out much better than I even imagined for growing my herbs. I placed it right outside my sliding door on the deck. It has loads of room and keeps them all nice and neat....ready to clip whenever I need them for a recipe.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Very nice planter, just as pictured in catalog. Helpful here in steamy Lousiana so I don't have to water everyday. Seems fairly sturdy, easy to assemble (and I am not usually good at that!).
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have a small patio and want to get the most out of the available space, this planter is perfect for the job. Use for flowering plants, herbs and vegetables.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have placed this against the gable end of my house at the back so I can enjoy it when I am out in the yard. It works very well, I love that I can check instantly to see if I need to fill the reservoir. The plants are already beginning to trail and look very attractive, my neighbours enjoy it also. Thanks for another great product
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
The planter was very easy to assemble; light enough to move around when assembled, but very sturdy when soil was added. I put the planter next to the front door and planted both potted herbs and herb seeds. I really like the water level indicators, but my dogs ate them. I was happy to find out that Gardener's Supply has them available for sale separately.
My pre-grown herbs are thriving, I have seedings coming up, and nothing is over or under watered. I really find the planter to be very useful. Now if it could just make me a better cook...
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Thought this was a great idea for limited space gardening.Comments from others helped with assembly(put it where you want it before adding dirt).Wish boxes were a bit sturdier, not sure how well they'll hold up in hot sun.If things go well I'll probably get another one next year for my balcony.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I put this together, which was very easy, but it didn't stay together for me to move it to the site. Pieces go into other pieces but were not secured, so they slipped out.
I am anxious to see how it does this summer now that everything is planted in it. Have had so many compliments on it!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
This is very attractive and the self-watering aspect works well. It's the first time I've used a self-watering container. Keeps the soil moist and has a neat gauge for determining when more water is needed. I've planted it with herbs and a few flowers. Well designed.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
very easy to maintain--plants make it very attractive.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I received this product as a Mother's Day present. It was easy to assemble, and is currently planted with a variety (snapdragons, marigolds, verbena, lobelia, ivy) of plants that should provide a panoply of color as the season progresses. Because I like to create a garden enclave on our deck where we get the most sun, I appreciate any products that facilitate that project. This planter clearly does that!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Not having the ground space for an herb garden, planting this with herbs has solved our problem. Neighbors have asked to see it up close and given great raves about the use and appearance of this product. It adds a charm to the patio and provides us with room for the herbs which we love to use in cooking.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
A really nice looking and solid planter system, but I would have like a second set of screws holding the wrought iron portion together. It's not easy to move once you've assembled it and perhaps decided you'd like to move it a few feet differently.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I have a small deck and was hoping to find a way to have the most flowers and color in that space. The cascading boxes are perfect. They were easy to assemble, work just as advertised and are filled with beautiful flowers.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I used this two tier planter on my deck with a mix of herb plants & annuals. It was very easy to assemble. I like black containers so I changed the terrecota color of the planters to black by using a plastic adhering spray paint. Very easy & very elegant.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
These are the perfect solution for us because we live in the high desert of California. We do have to keep an eye on the water level though, it doesn't last as long as I expected..about 3 days. Probably becasue the humidity is so low here.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I wanted something to grow lettuce in with something that maintained the moisture level for when it really gets hot and this is it. Planted seedlings and they haven't been happier. Easy construction and easy watering.

Ordered it to use for an herb garden and it is working out very well!

All the self-watering products work GREAT! This is just one more addition to a line of quality products that ALWAYS produce great, abundant plants. Never a problem, never a failure.

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
This is an excellent value! It is very sturdy. At first I was concerned it wouldn't hold all the weight of the water, the soil and the plants but it has worked out beautifully! It was also extremely easy to assemble. It went together in less than 20 minutes. If I had the room I would order two more!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Very pleased with this planter.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I wanted this unit because it is attractive and fits under the kitchen window. I thought the screws were missing and I planned to purchase the two I needed. Found them screwed into the holes so they wouldn't get lost! Great idea! I really like this unit, was very easy to put together and is very attractive.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
This is perfect for planting herbs and tomatoes on the deck - away from the deer and rabbits!
So far the self watering is working well. We'll have to wait and see how it performs in the heat of summer.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
This looks so nice on my patio. Have received many compliments.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
This tiered planter is exactly what I was looking for. I have the three-tier planter outside my kitchen window with herbs and lettuce in the bottom box. These seem to drain well, there are holes for drainage and they hold a lot. Would highly recommend these.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
We use the two-tier set to grow herbs on the patio. They stay out of the reach of rabbits and easy to harvest. The self-watering feature preserves plants through short trips when we're away and can't water.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I am happy with the look and the fact that I can keep seasonal flowers easier and not have to water every day.
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
As noted, I do feel that this product is a little bit pricey. However, the space saving aspect is great. I use it on my back patio to grow my lettuce and strawberries and it works just great!!
Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I just tried these for the first time. I really like them so far:
>They were easy to assemble, not flimsy
> the frame is a really nice height especially for cutting herbs
>The 2 tier is especially nice for someone in a chair with mobility problems
>the water fill tube and indicator are more user friendly than some other products.
I would love to see handles on either side of the box similar to those on tubtrugs making the box easier to lift or lower into the frame.
The only untested situation yet is how they will handle downpours... I will get back to you...

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
I love having my own herbs and vegetables; but in the past, I have either over watered or under watered and eventually killed them all. This wonderful product makes sure everything is perfectly watered. The planter has taken the stress out of vegetable and herb gardening for me. All of my plants are thriving in spite of me and I have already enjoyed my first home grown salad of the season!

Comments about Self-Watering Cascade Planters:
Last year I purchased the outdoor trellis planters that contained these plastic, self watering planters. I was hooked. These planters grow beautiful flowers since they drain well and don't need to be filled every day. I prefer this type of planter over the circular self-watering planters that you can pick up at your local stores. I've already set up the three tier frame and it looks great on the patio. I can't wait to add some flowers to it!
