I bought this at my local Ace Hardware Store in Adairsville, Georgia [...] I happen to see this just before Father's Day and bought it for a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it. However, the one thing that we do not like, is that it does not hold the water in the dirt for the plants, so we think the next time we might line the basin with a plastic and put some holes in it to help keep some of the water and moisture in the basin for the plants instead of it mostly draining out. However, other than that it is GREAT and would recommend it to anyone!!!

I purchased 2 of these. They are perfect for my tomato plants. For Apt. dwelers they can't be beat.

My 9 year old loves tomatoes so we thought this would be fun for him to tend to and watch his tomatoes grow. He waters it on his own and gets so excited when the tomatoes are ripe enough to pick. He checks it everyday. We put in the tiny tomatoes which worked really well and put marigolds on top. Both the tomatoes and the marigolds are growing like crazy and it looks beautiful on our back porch.

I love this planter. It's very sturdy and not wobbly at all. It looks like real, solid, furniture. I have 5 tomato plants growing out the bottom (all started from seed) and 4 pepper plants growing upwards. It looks attractive on my porch and even better, all the plants are doing great! I find that because it holds a lot of soil, it only needs watering every other day. I mulched the top of the soil to help hold in water.

This is a great sturdy but attractive product. Best tomato planter I have seen!

Great product! We have only had our product for 2 weeks, so I cannot comment on the longevity of the unit. However, it feels very sturdy, even filled with soil and plants. We placed beans on top and a tomato through the bottom and all the plants are growing rapidly. The product has a simple design and is easy to put together. We will be buying a second unit to grow berries. I would highly suggest this item to anyone who needs a simple way to grow a small garden.

I was so impressed with the size of this product I went back and bought another. I like the idea of planting lettuce or radishes in the bottom instead of using sand. I'm going to swap out my sand. I have dogs, very young grandchildren, and a slight slant on my back lawn so I felt I really needed to stabalize the base with the weight.
However, I did have a problem. If you are trying to plant large tomatoe plants (the $4 each kind) it is difficult to successfully thread the whole plant thru the large hole (the 4 smaller ones were impossible). I finally really soaked the roots and managed to squeeze the dirt ball thru without too much root damage. That limited me to just 1 plant upside down in 1 container. I planted 2 tomatoes from a six pack in the other and had no problems slipping the root ball thru the small holes.
It would be really interesting if they put in corner holders on top for stakes so you could plant 1 or 2 tomatoes on top also. I would love to see which grew better. They might have to make the top a little deeper.

Wonderful product. I didn't know what to expect when I purchased it. The product is sturdy, easy to assemble, and attractive. This is a good buy compared to other stores that are selling them. I am going to buy another to place on my back patio. I have my tomatoes, peppers, and herbs growing in this planter. Don't waste your money buying from the high-end stores. [...]

My family almost bought the bagged upside down tomato system until a neighbor told us that his only lasted one plant before he had to toss it. We bought 2 of these units and absolutely LOVED it. Shortly after, we found a similar item at our local department store for $5 cheaper but it was horrible in quality. Now we are coming back to buy 2 more of these for our remaining planting and plan on using them for years to come.

I wanted this planter to keep close to my kitchen door for easy access to herbs when cooking. It's perfect design allows the plants to grow nicely without bugs and weeds. I plant herbs on top and a tomatoe plant under it. I have great success with my topsy turvy planters so I knew this planter would do the same. The greatest reason for buying these elevated hanging type planters is that there is absolutely no weeding and creepy crawers on your plants which affect the growth and health of the plant. No more cut worms etc. I highly recommend this planter it's easy to assemble less than 5 min, very strong and durable and very large so plants will do well without being root bound.
