- Balconies
- Herbs and greens
- No bending
- Self watering
A stand-up self-watering bed for patios and balconies: it holds 12.7 gal of soil at waist height, so there's no bending, and a built-in reservoir with a gauge stretches watering to about weekly. A drainage tap dumps excess after storms. The soil volume suits herbs, greens and flowers rather than big vining crops, and it takes more floor space than a pot, but it's easy on the back and the wallet.
Pros
- Elevated to waist height so you plant and harvest with no bending or kneeling
- Built-in reservoir and water gauge cut watering to roughly once a week and show when to refill
- Drainage tap lets you dump excess after heavy rain to avoid waterlogged roots
Cons
- 12.7 gal of soil is modest, better for herbs, lettuce and flowers than sprawling tomatoes
- Resin legs can feel tippy if the top is heavily loaded and the base isn't level
- Larger footprint than a simple pot for the amount of growing space you get
