The media could not be loaded. Love these planters. We have a narrow backyard, but still wanted some flowers and herbs. These planters are perfect. Build a simple wooden wall and attached them with a brass screw and a brass washer. Highly recommend having a washer to help secure it. The planters are at a weird angle, but the design is actually great. When you plant make sure to angle the plant at the end. Leave about a 1/2 inch space. This stops the water dripping off issue. They do retain a lot of water so watch over watering. You may want to put in a soil moisture indicator. Overall great product. FYSA do not use the included zip ties. Use some cool hemp rope or brass tie. Read more
I have a small apartment patio and thought these planters would be perfect. I’m working on planting my seedlings now and I think this product is exactly what I needed! Nice and sturdy. I truly thought the product was larger when I ordered it, so unfortunately I may need to replant my herbs in the future depending on how many seedlings persevere. But good for now! My one complaint is that the hangers came only with zip ties to hang them. I ended up buying a pack of flat S hooks from Amazon to hang them from my storage door, so no biggie. I’ll throw the zip ties in my junk drawer. I love how many pockets this has. I would LOVE to see a horizontal option for the wooden beams on my patio. Read more
Nice pockets for herbs. The only issue is the grommets are regular metal and should be stainless steel. Even though the item would be pricier. After the first rain, the grommets have rust. I hope it makes it through the growing season. Read more
Bought this to grow some herbs on a back patio. It seems sturdy, and I love the idea. My main problem is that it's tricky to water. All the water just pours off the surface and out the front before it can be absorbed by the soil. For this reason I definitely wouldn't use it in indoors, as you'd get water everywhere. I've been able to prop it on an angle and slowly dribble water, which seems to work, but only about half the plants seem to be doing well. The mint and oregano seem happy, the thyme is doing ok. However, I had to take the basil and chamomile out and plant them elsewhere before they died. I might need to do the same with the rosemary. Again, a great idea but I'm glad I didn't jump the gun and buy two. Read more
Very pretty and cool way to display flowers. Read more
I like this and will buy more. This is the smaller of the two in this photo. It was planted today, Aug 7, 2021. I will add a photo in a month. The pockets are not as deep as the first and it is smaller. I'm experimenting with plants that will work best. It is a very affordable option for the amount it adds to an area. I've learned: do not put the soil very deep. The pouches tilt forward when watered, I folded the plastic from under the bottom pouch as it held too much water. Read more
The first thing that I did was to remove the awful green tag from the front. We hung it on a porch rail and planted some flowers and the flowers have thrived. I should have planted the flowers deeper in the pockets as they are drooping over the front. Next, time I'll know. People are complaining about water draining out the bottom. The material is felt. Of course, the water is not going to be retained. Water the plants slowly and the soil gets plenty of water. Water them fast and the water will run over the top. In the hot Texas sun, we water daily. Overall, we are very pleased with the hanging planter Read more
These pockets are a perfect size for herbs, leafy vegetables, or any small plant. The pockets getting smaller as you go deeper, and the tilt of the fabric, means you'll want to fill them with soil atleast an inch short of the top because watering will pull the soil level and more towards the front lip of the pocket. Be advised, if you plan to line your pocket (I took the suggestion from others), a gallon-sized freezer bag is a good fit if you trim off the zipper just above the label. Make sure you cut the corners to still allow plenty of drainage. The pocket is made of the same unwoven fabric like "smart" pots and, while air pruning is healthy for roots, they dry out very quickly requiring virtually daily watering. Baggie liners will stop that at the expense of your plants getting more root-bound. I'm not worried, though, since you only keep them for a season. I would worry more if I used these for perennials or a houseplant. Word of warning, this product comes with very thin, short cable ties. I suggest stopping by your hardware and buying a supply of standard cable ties, they only cost a few bucks. I linked two 14" cable ties to get all the way around my deck rail. Overall, these plant pockets are a great way to optimize your deck rails for some vertical gardening! Read more
