Planter With Trellis And Self-Watering Reservoir

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

This is beautiful. I planted a jasmine to climb up the trellis and also purchased the solar star string lights and strung them on the trellis to mimic the jasmine blooms after the sun sets. It is so pretty in the evening to sit on the patio in the ambient light of the star lights strung up on this planter.

These planters with trellis solved a big problem for me. My water softener equipment and pump was located to the side of my house where I entered my side door and also was visible from the street. It was an eyesore but difficult to hide because of the location and the fact that whatever was built to hide it needed to be removed easily to access the equipment and to refill the salt container. Bingo, these were perfect. The rollers allowed easy access, the trellis and climbing vines hide equipment and I come home to beautiful flowers now. The only single negative I have is, it does take a long time to fill. But I solved it by removing the filter cap on the inlet for the water and when full, I simply recap it. I bought four of these and I would recommend them to anyone.

The planters look very nice on my deck, a friend assembled them and he said it was easy. I hope the watering mechanism works, we have had a lot of rain but my geraniums are looking good in the planters.

After moving into a Condo from a large home, my wife missed her garden. We purchased the planter/trellis and set it up on our small front porch. To elliminate the possibility of it blowing over in high winds, I installed a white shower curtain rod accross the upper portion of the trellis and fastened it with white cable ties.The rod itself is adjustable and it spans from a post to the siding of the house. It is perfect with climbing flowers. I left the wheels on (locked) for ease of moving it into the garage off season. The auto watering system is ideal. Great addition.

When I read the reviews I was a bit concerned about it tipping over in the wind. Not a problem at all for me. I am just starting seeds for Peas in it and the trellis is not covered yet. I keep the resevoir full. I LOVE the wheels as I can move it around to where the sun is shining with no problems. I am very pleased with this item.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I was so excited to get these (I ordered 2) and they are so tiny and so flimsy. For the price, I was expecting a more quality item. Other reviewers described these as lightweight over priced, and they were 100% correct! Not satisfied with this product.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I have 2, only one sort of self waters. The self watering mechanism is very flimsy. I do however like the appearance of the white planters. I have them back to back. One on the patio and the other inside the screen porch. They are a good way to display climbing flowers in both areas without looking at the back of a planter.

I bought these to create a partial blind area near my hot tub and give me some garden space on a highly concrete area. I do wish the trellis part were a bit taller, but overall it is exactly what I was looking for. I bought 4 so I could place them back to back and give more stability from the wind, which seemed to be a common issue on the posts on here. It works beautifully. I am ordering 2 more today so I can have a row of 3 back to back. We already had our first rain and highly windy storm and they survived in tact! I planted 2 tomato plants in one, 4 pepper plants in one, 2 cucumber plants in one, and 4 strawberry plants in one if that gives you any idea on the size of the planting area.

One trellis was damaged in transit - customer service gave me a $20 credit. They are not as sturdy as I thought for the price. I will probably use for a summer only and perhaps replace. I love and have bought several plow & hearth products but this is not one I would recommend.

We have had one for 2 years, held up really well and kept plants looking great all summer long.Ordering now for x-mas presents

Disappointing

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

The plastic is thin. I was expecting a more durable, resin type material. I doubt this planter will survive the elements for very long. Also, the drain holes were not predrilled.

I purchased two of these a couple years ago to obscure the pool filter. They do the job beautifully. When I first got them had the same issue as others who've commented, tipped over in the wind etc. Here's how I solved it.
1. Took off the wheels
2. Placed a 7"x 16" patio block in the bottom of the planter.
3. Did not fill the planter with dirt, instead had 2 planters just a bit smaller that I filled w/ dirt & placed inside the trellis planter, right on top of the patio block. Makes it easier to clean up in the fall, just lift out smaller planter, to be left out all winter, while the trellis planters, with trellis taken off, stack inside eachother for storage in the garage.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

Light, attractive and easy to assemble trellis planter that I am using on my terrace. I followed advice from other users and ditched the wheels and loaded it with stones. It seems to be working well, good capacity but I have 2 main complaints. I ordered a white trellis but it's actually ivory, which is annoying when the other P&H planters are brilliant white. Secondly, the sponge indicator at the water filler is flimsy and doesn't appear to do anything. Overall seems expensive for what it is.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

had to drill lots of holes in the bottom so my plants didn't die...this is NOT a self watering system...I will stick with the earth box...now they are nice and my plants grow great in them...

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I bought 3 to place around our a/c unit that is on our patio. I love the wheels on the bottom so I can easily roll them around!

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I bought these trellis planters so I can put them up on the porch and the deer cannot eat my flowers! The planter is on wheels so it is easy to move around if getting too much sun or shade!

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

Oops, my mistake.

I had a location in mind when I purchased these with the trellis but was disappointed when they did not fit in with the look I was seeking.

The construction is fine, albeit a little light and will probably need anchoring and not as sturdy as I had hoped. I can foresee the plastic cracking at some point.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I bought 4 of these to add privacy and beauty to my back deck, and these achieve that - once they are set up Securely. Of course when they arrived, we had the worst wind ever, and I tried everything I could, to make these stay on my deck. I even put a brick in the bottom, and they still tipped over the sides, and fell off. Finally I had to pound stakes into the ground by the decking and attach the trellises to these, and they stayed. Overall - I'm still happy I bought them, because no units were as nice looking. I've planted dahlias in mine, and will tie the plants to the trellis for support. One of the other reviewers complained of drainage, but you have to drill holes in the bottom when they arrive, and that should do the trick. I would still recommend these. I love how they look.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I bought this for the front entry way to my home. It's much smaller than it appears online, it was easy to assemble. I'm not using the rolling wheels that are included, as I wanted it to be stationary. I think the price should have been less, if you decided if you don't want them. With the shipping charges, I'm not sure, if this was really a good deal or not. Seems a lot for what it actually is.

Provides a small amount on terrace balcony very close to the next persons balcony.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

Be sure to read the height. It isn't as tall as you might think it is.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I put the planters at the end of our driveway to give us privacy from the road. It's a bonus having the wheels so we can move it around when we need to. Great product.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I am growing tomatoes and cucumbers in them on my deck. They are attractive and great for training the cucumbers up the trellis and attaching the tomatoes without having ugly stakes.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

Prior to purchasing I was worried that it might blow over in strong winds. Not a problem whatsoever. This year I had the most beautiful flowers ever. Nothing dried out! I was also blessed with a bumper crop of monarch caterpillars who were drawn to the healthy plants. I could not be more pleased and plan to buy another one in the spring.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

We are using this product to hide the unsightly trash can. It works perfectly for this purpose. Is attractive and moves pretty easy. Good product.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

Like the trellis to grow vines and provide some privacy for sitting on my patio. Like that doesn't have to be watered frequently.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

So far it is doing what I expected
it to do.

I am happy with it.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

The trellis attaches to the base planter very loosely...we bolted them together and have yet to see how it holds up in the wind. Didn't use the wheels or watering-indicator (who needs that?). But they look great and are easy to use.

Comments about Plowhearth Self-Watering Planter/Trellis:

I'm using two of these planters to hide an outdoor garbage container and it works great. Thanks
