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

I received my garden tower about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks ago and I love it. I live in the mid west and first started planting in mid June so am getting a little late start, but my beets and kale are coming up fine. My daughter and granddaughter helped me plant it. It was also easy for me to put together. Good instructions! We put the beets in the top and in the top tiers. I also have flowers, strawberries, cucumbers, squash, mint, and other herbs. I used to garden but due to age and replacements can't kneel or bend like I used to so this is a God sent for me. It rotates so if one side needs more sun than the other, you can turn it. Everything is doing fine so far and I will update later in the season. Great idea from the Garden Tower Project. I can dig in the dirt again !

I finally got around to setting up my garden tower and boy I'm so happy that I did. The garden tower was easy to set up and has been incredibly easy to maintain these past few weeks. I can't believe how many plants it will hold. In fact, I've run out of new herbs that I want to add to my garden. I'll have order some more exotic herbs online. The garden tower's compost system has been easy to maintain too with no mess and no need to turn the compost. The tea that collects at the bottom of the tower is easy to pour back into the tower, making daily watering a snap.

I opted for a container garden as I am a beginner. Easy to assemble, my kids love putting kitchen scraps into the compost bin. I wish it were cheaper however I would buy again. My strawberries, greens, lettuce, etc. are all doing awesome. I Highly Recommend!

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.

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

We were finally able to put our tower together this weekend and we love it. We are in a rental and don’t have to miss our backyard garden anymore. It is easy to put together, love the vermicomposter in the middle. Can’t wait to get it all loaded up.

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 am so impressed with the quality and the thought that went into this design. Very well thought out. I will be back to purchase another in the future.

I love this product. Easy to assemble, easy to use. I had lots of fun finding the right flowers and veggies to fill the planter. Might have to get a second one.

I was excited to try this and tried it out immediately. I filled it with plants and got my composting worms. However the top 2/3 of the planter dries out so fast. I used soil that was specially to retains moisture but its not enough. You have to water almost every day which is not sustainable for me. I can't return because the return window is only one month:( Very expensive experiement!
