I put a 1/2” hole through all of mine at once and set them on a 1/2” rebar I pounded into the ground and set it on top of a cmu block (but a pvc pipe would probably be better I just didn’t have any) and rotate them once in a while for good sun exposure to all sides. I’m growing strawberries, green beans, and my blackberry, raspberry, and elderberry crowns until they get bigger and I can prep their forever home properly in my yard. So far so good! I want to get more. I only have 12 in two sets right now (I used 2x 3’ rebars, 1 each set of 6). I have two green stalks but man I’m wishing I’d known about these stackable sooner. Even at $1.25 each replacing them every yr or other yr I’m still way ahead of what I spent on Greenstalks. I do enjoy those, don’t get me wrong and I’ll use them for many years, it’s just not cost effective for me right now if I wanted any more. Believe me once you start growing vertically it’s hard to go back lol. You’ll end up wanting more so might as well find a cost effective option. I will see how the beans do and I do water everyday since it’s so hot and dry here in zone 8b but I don’t mind. I just can’t exactly water the same way I would with the greenstalks but since I’m watering manually anyways I don’t see much difference yet.

Hi and thank you. I have a bag of black kow so how much kow to how much water 💧 I would love a recipe 😍

My question is ,are they deep enough for squash and beans or is it mainly for lettuce.

@BakeALegAndLetsDigIt

No its deep enough for sure

I paid about $35 (3 level) when these 1st came out. 😂 And I didn’t like them. Too small of a growing area for me. I might try again this year though. Edit: the orange has faded too much…so the plastic might only be good/look good? for 1 season if from DT.

So strange that I am just seeing this now. I must say in all honesty when you can't afford a greenstalk vertical planter these are great for the price the size was pretty decent and I saw some fading after 2 years on my one stackable but over all I did enjoy planting in them.

Great video! What are those ladybugs you have on the top of each stack?

Put some chopped up straw on top and they will not dry out as much.

What about squirrels? I have had to stop potting plants and flowers because the squirrels will eat everything and kick out the potting soil. I really want to get back to some planting but I don’t want to spend the money only to have the squirrels destroy it all.

Hi Angelia. I didnt have that problem but sprinkle down hot pepper seeds or the powder squirrels hate it. Hope this helps 🙏 Love and hugs Sincerly Melody

How deep did you put the pipe in the ground for stability?

Hi. I just used a weight and banged it into the ground so about 2 to 3 inches was still showing at the top. I hope it helped God bless love and hugs from Pennsylvania Sincerly Melody

Why not use pvc pipe in the center and put a few holes down it to help put water in them. Don’t know if it would work.???

Mine didn't grow thiings well. I think the size cups are too small to hold water for long. I have seen larger ones on different sites.

I used mine for sugar snap peas lettuces etc and it did well. It has to have potting soil so it does not dry out and should be used for smaller things on the bottom taller things on the top. I HOPE THIS HELPS. SINCERLY MELODY

I just had mine full of strawberries just collapse! There too flimsy for a big stack .

Wow I am so sorry. I did a video where I stuck a steal pole through mine and they held up through 8 hurricanes in one season here . Which is un heard of. Try using the steal pole Sincerly Melody

I have done so. I am quit familiar with gardening my friend God Bless 🙏

My daughter sent me a better made set, complete with a deck with casters to put them on. Even being a better set, I do NOT like this system at all. I am in Colorado, where it can get pretty arid. They dried out constantly, squirrels climbed them and dug the plants out, nothing but trouble. Never using it again.

Why do you all put the entire packet of seeds into one pocket,why???¿

Looking at your videos with sooooo many seedlings into each sectional it was my observation of others also to many seedlings leads to many die off one or two into each sectional is enough for proper growth.......

@@hotpepper7782 I always do 4 seeds in everyone of my stackables. A few reasons why 1. You don't wanna be waiting for 1 or 2 seeds to germinate. 2. I live where there is alot of birds who love to eat all of my seeds so my chances are much better using 4 seeds. Love and hugs Sincerly Melody
