I do a lot of vertical gardening. This looks like a nice system since it has lots of space for roots and moisture retention.

+darkwood777 Each tier is approx. 11 inches deep so lots of room for the roots…..Donald

I liked the okra pod used as a plug to stop compost getting in the hole 😄

[@webcajun]

+Vince 6424 Was the closest thing I had to a plug. :-) …..Donald

The Green Stalk would work great at my place, I have a very small backyard. Thanks for sharing.

[@webcajun]

+Sneak 66 It only takes up about 2 sq. ft. and has room for 30 plants if you go 5 tiers high.....Donald

[@DesertDigger1]

I love greens, but have never tried mustard greens. On the bucket list now.

[@webcajun]

+DesertDigger1 I prefer Mustard Greens over Collards…..Donald

[@BIGALTX]

They sent me one too. I just did a video on it. It's a pretty nice little innovation !

[@ElGatoLoco698]

+TexasPrepper2 What did you plant in it TP2 and when can we expect your video?

[@BIGALTX]

+ElGatoLoco698 I've already posted it... Check it out.

[@webcajun]

+TexasPrepper2 Very nice job on your video…..Donald

[@ElGatoLoco698]

ha, I was just thinking about something you said today. Now a video from you. Mysterious ways. Anyway you mentioned in your last video about sifting your cotton compost before planting seeds. I tried it and it worked very well for me. My compost was very woody with some rather large chunks so I sifted them out and the seedlings are doing much better than the unaltered compost. It worked so well I sifted the perlite and peat moss too. Anyway, thanks for the wisdom!

[@webcajun]

+ElGatoLoco698 Once sifted through 1/4 inch hardware cloth you end up with a loose, well-draining soil. I would recommend it over most potting soils you can buy from the garden center……Donald

[@TheCajunHomestead]

Glad to see your doing well Neighbor. I have been working building some fences and doing a lot of filming for my you tubes vids I just need to do a lot of editing on them before posting. That planter would be awesome for some Herbs and Strawberry plants. I need to get me one and give it a try when I get a better budget, I am still doing the bucket thang. Good to see again ole friend.

[@webcajun]

+TheCajunHomesteader I spend more time editing than filming. Let me know when you’ve posted…..Donald

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It seems they are sending out a lot of these things to different people.They havent contacted us yet oh well it looks like a good thing to have on the porch.

[@webcajun]

+Deep South Homestead I’m impressed with it so far…..Donald

[@FensterfarmGreenhouse]

I guess the weight from all of the soil gives it the stability. I was wondering how it would do in the wind would if the wax peppers got pretty big? might catch the wind. Chuck

[@webcajun]

+Fensterfarm Greenhouse If I decide on the wax peppers we’ll find out. :-) ……Donald

[@grantg9504]

Dona,d, Never mind...I just noticed you posted the info on another video. Thanks

[@vincentlanoiselet4243]

Hey Donald, do you need to turn the planter on a regular basis so that the plants that are in the shade get enough sun light?

[@zeed33r]

+Vince 6424 imagine having some mirrors there O_O xDD

[@webcajun]

+Vince 6424 Location and time of the year makes a difference. Where I have mine set up turning it every couple of days has worked out pretty well….Donald

[@SonniesGardenPA]
