Garden Tower 2 - Vertical Planter for Fruits, Vegetables & Herbs - 360-Degree Tower Planter - Made from Food Grade Plastic - 43x25x25 Inches - Terracotta

Super way to garden. Produce has been fantastic. Tried to garden in past with poor results. So many of the plants have floutished. Green beans produced well, tomatoes and peppers in top are gigantic. Eggplant, lettuce, plant what you enjoy and watch it grow. Would purchase again. Good quality produck. Purchase dirt for hanging baskets for light weight. Worms composting, such a cool way to fertilize. Enjoy.

I love how easy to assemble and move this is. The fact that it only takes up vertical space and not spread out will make it easy when it is time to bring it in out of NE Nebraska harsh cold winters. The casters make it easy to move it for me since I am only 4'10 and moving tall things can be a challenge. Will be ordering more as I try to expand my vertical garden space more.

This thing is so cool. Easy to set up and use. Our plants are just loving it and it's nice to have a compost as well.

The media could not be loaded. Whole thing is awesome

I have had this tower 6 months. The center tube that holds the worms and compost literally fell thru the bottom. My husband tried to jack it up to put it back 2 times, but it fell back out. I finally had to scoop all the dirt out of the tower (it is a LOT of soil). I then discovered the reason it fell out - the only thing holding it in is a rubber gasket about 1/2 in. In width. The gasket is not wide enough to support the heavy weight of the compost. I emailed the company shortly after I lot it and asked about it falling out. I got no response. I did not try to return to Amazon because it is so big and I didn't want to empty all the dirt. I have given up on the compost and my tube is now empty and I have placed screen in the bottom to provide better drainage and support the tube. I left the plug out of the tube. The drainage in the bottom isn't sufficient for the size of the container. When we got heavy rains, it did not drain well and my plants on the bottom rotted. I expect better quality and better customer service for the price,

interesting concept, very expensive if it doesn't produce as advertised.

This is my second year using the old version of this product (same idea, just a different size) in snowy northeast Ohio. And I've gotta say, I'm impressed. As a condo dweller, I do not have a lot of room to grow veggies on. I use self-watering containers for my tomatoes and green peppers, that take up most of the room on our patio, so had no room to place containers for lettuce, kale, zucchini, cukes, broccoli, etc. Placing the Garden Tower in a flower bed solved that, while remaining so attractive that the condo association gave us no problems. In fact, the president loves the way it looks. All that, and the tower has provided us with salads & greens for smoothies steadily.I love the integrated composting. Again, there is no way the owners association would have permitted us to compost. The tube, and then red wrigglers have solved that problem.The only thing that stops this from being a five-star review is that the back of the unit is not productive once the plants facing the sun grow. The plants grow okay during the spring, but the shade soon stunts them. Last year, we planted a broccoli in a north-facing slot that did not head. Wiser this year, we planted spring lettuce in the back. As expected as of now (mid July), it has petered out. The lettuce hasn't gone to seed .Instead, the plants are just... dying.Still, highly recommended. Especially for condo-dwellers.UPDATED 04/20/2016: It looks like this now rotates, so the back-side die-off may be a thing of the past. That said, being a tinkerer (should have been an engineer, I think...), I know that the more moving parts a thing has, the more apt it is to fail. So I'd be interested to know how solid the bearings are.BTW, planting this for year #3 in about two weeks.Just add a little compost and organic fertilizer and minerals and I'm off. :-)

We just harvested our first round of broccoli. It was very tender and tasted better than what we buy. Mint is growing like a weed. Keep checking the compost levels- we were surprised how much those earthworms can eat. We were able to make it mobile by putting it on an Olympia furniture dolly without the three bottom braces that came with tower. You can buy it on Amazon for $39.97. We paid more at our local Wal-mart.Update: The original furniture dolly did not hold up because the constant watering weakened one of the wheels. We switched to a solid wooden rectangle shaped one from tractor supply. So far so good.
