I think I am over anxious. It is too much winter here in Wisconsin but I wanted to see if everything “fit”. I now see I need to wait to fill with dirt and then add the watering disks. I tried putting it together and the watering disks didn’t seat very well but I guess without dirt, they won’t! Can’t wait to plant.
I want to say that your product is amazing! I had my five tier original greenstalk in my kitchen with the mover on a wet boot tray. I tried to move it without help. Needless to say, the green stalk with support fell over! Totally my fault, but the amazing part; your product held up including the support. Today, only a couple of days after ordering the spiner, I set up the green stalk and it works outstandingly! I am anxious now for all my plants to grow and provide for my husband and I.
This looks like a major improvement from my current system. Can you guys try to lower the price of the spinning bases though? Or offer a significant volume discount when buying 3 or more?
Just got mine and I love it! The only thing is that it did not come with a plug for the hose, but I had a rubber stopper from ACE hardware that was the size I needed.
Thank you for the video, I always like to look at as many videos as I can about a product before I purchase it and this one sold me thank you! 😁 Also I loved the video and the music was great too.
When planting can you add 3 seeds in one compartment and add a small plant in same compartment like cilantro? So when the small plant grows by the time you use it or harvest the new seeds will sprout??
hello, i am purchasing two 3-tier systems this week. can you tell me approx how many 2 or 3 cu ft bags of potting soil i would need to fill both properly? i'm only growing hot peppers and 1 small determinate tomato variety and i am trying to limit my trips to home depot so i want to make sure i get enough the first trip. thanks!
@@sandy-rr1by thank you! i ended up not getting them because where i live doesn't allow for outside gardening (sigh) but this information is still good to know for when i move to a place that does. thanks again for the info!
I purchased your system many months ago and have tried planting seeds several times. We have lots of squirrels and rabbits. How do you keep squirrels from digging after planting seeds? And rabbits from eating plants in lower pockets?Any suggestions?
I’d like to say that you don’t bury pepper stalk like you would a tomato plant. Pepper plants don’t have roots running up stalk, it could actually kill plant.
I haven’t found that to be true. I plant tomatoes and peppers both deeply. In fact I planted peppers today. Maybe something else caused the problem you had?
Is there any reason why I shouldn't *not* fill one of the levels all the way up with soil if the plants have shallow roots and I need to conserve potting mix?
Yes! Please fill your planter up all the way with potting mix. If you do not, plants can become leggy due to lack of sunlight. In addition, the stems can break over the edge as the plant grows. Let us know if you have any further questions. Happy gardening!
Not a week or two. You would need to hook it to a drip irrigation system for that. The tower includes a "top" that holds water and is good for a couple days. I purchased one this year and will be featuring it on my channel if you would like to follow and get updates as I grow. . .
@@suzannesnyder5694 I am watering mine twice a week currently - 8a, Alabama. That will possibly change as we heat up, but I checked the bottom today and it was nice. I planted cowpeas - the whole tower. Running behind because of work but I'll have videos soon and continuing through the season. Depending on your area and climate (rain and heat) I would check the pockets and water accordingly.
I filled each layer half full, stacked it on top of a full layer, finished filling. Filled another half, stacked on top of full, finished filling. Worked great! I'm 70yo.
Can you tell me how to protect my strawberries from birds? Also how can I set them up on auto watering? I get some over a hundred degree days through July and August, I’m afraid watering once a week won’t work. Thanks very much.
Thank you both ! Mine just arrived last week. I am so excited to use next spring thanks to #RootsandRefuge Farm for introducing me to your wonderful American Made Product!
I had one loved it and when they came on sale I ordered 3 more. I will be growing so much this New Year I love this product.

I got one about a month ago. So far my plants look great. Can’t wait for harvest time.
I can't wait to get one of these for next year. I have such a small growing space, this should help a ton!
This looks like a major improvement from my current system. Can you guys try to lower the price of the spinning bases though? Or offer a significant volume discount when buying 3 or more?
I just ordered three of these! The inventor's bundle - let's see how this goes. I'm excited.🥰🥰

Anxiously awaiting my green stock. I would really like to know when it will arrive.

I need one of these 😍
Great video!!
¿¿¿¿¿¿ do you think it would be better to plant after you stacked the towers??????

My two 3 layer originals took about 3.5 of 2cu ft bags to fill level.
@@sandy-rr1by thank you! i ended up not getting them because where i live doesn't allow for outside gardening (sigh) but this information is still good to know for when i move to a place that does. thanks again for the info!
Can’t wait
Hi, I want to buy my greenstalk but you don't ship it to Mexico. Hope soon can buy many of them, thanks
I have a question for you. do you have a screen to go over it so it will be protected.
Do I need to plug the hole when filling until it reaches the correct tier line or should I just let it run until it reaches the line?
So you recommend planting before stacking? Thank you for your reply
They get heavy so if you don’t have an issue picking them up after planting
I purchased your system many months ago and have tried planting seeds several times. We have lots of squirrels and rabbits. How do you keep squirrels from digging after planting seeds? And rabbits from eating plants in lower pockets?Any suggestions?
I'm dealing with the same issue, I am considering placing the planter on top of a medium size upside-down garbage barrel
@@FishOnIsMyHandle curious….did this work? Those squirrels…..😫
You can add bird netting. You will probably need to protect the harvest from birds later as well.
You make a wall of chicken wire with a top and bottom. Those animals are very smart and are use to out smarting humans. Wish u well
Do all of the planters come with that base? I did not get the base with wheels on it with mine?
No, bases do not come with the planters. You will need to order one of theirs or create your own solution.
I’d like to say that you don’t bury pepper stalk like you would a tomato plant. Pepper plants don’t have roots running up stalk, it could actually kill plant.
I haven’t found that to be true. I plant tomatoes and peppers both deeply. In fact I planted peppers today. Maybe something else caused the problem you had?
Please start selling these in Germany!
Are they made from raisin?
How many bags of soil did you have to ise for each bowl?
8 gallons per tier fits perfectly
Interesting

Yes! Please fill your planter up all the way with potting mix. If you do not, plants can become leggy due to lack of sunlight. In addition, the stems can break over the edge as the plant grows. Let us know if you have any further questions. Happy gardening!
Always 3 seeds for each pocket?
No. Depends on the plant. Go to the blog section of their website to find the planting guides.
Is there a way to make this planter self-watering so it can be left for a week or two and water itself?
Not a week or two. You would need to hook it to a drip irrigation system for that. The tower includes a "top" that holds water and is good for a couple days. I purchased one this year and will be featuring it on my channel if you would like to follow and get updates as I grow. . .
How often do you have to fill the water up on top twice a week?

You did not show if grat goes under top water tray
Wow i dont strong enough to put them together after filling soils into it.
I filled each layer half full, stacked it on top of a full layer, finished filling. Filled another half, stacked on top of full, finished filling. Worked great! I'm 70yo.
where can I order this kind of container?
You can order GreenStalk Vertical Planters at greenstalkgarden.com
Happy Gardening!
The one I got did not come with a water drip sad I got make do make my own water drops..
If it didn't come with a watering system it isn't a GreenStalk Garden.
What soil did they use?
Looks like Happy Frog
Can you tell me how to protect my strawberries from birds?
Also how can I set them up on auto watering?
I get some over a hundred degree days through July and August, I’m afraid watering once a week won’t work.
Thanks very much.
Did you look on their website? They now offer a net
I went to order another greenstalk in the mint green but you no longer carry that color. Disappointed.
Hello! We are bringing back several discontinued colors - including the Luscious Green color - in just a few weeks.
How about eliminating that annoying background "music" - then I will be able to hear the narration clearly ?
Hi! I will pass along your feedback to our team. Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and we hope you have a great day.
I can hear her clearly you just have a shitty phone or ears 😂
Thank you both ! Mine just arrived last week. I am so excited to use next spring thanks to #RootsandRefuge Farm for introducing me to your wonderful American Made Product!
