New Permasteel Planter Saves Terrible Gardener
Once another company bought Aerogarden, who would have known that the seeds now sent for the Aerogarden (just labeled generally as "tomato" and "cucumber") would turn into giant monsters trying to take over my living space?
Well, I am no professional gardener. After three plants sprouted up like rocket ships, clearly with no intention of stopping below the 2. 5' LED light I've been happily using for years for SMALL veggies and herbs, over a couple days I maniacally sweat my way through researching everything possible to ensure I keep these soon-to-be giant veggie plants alive and eventually shovel them into my face.
Anything BUT a self-watering planter was not an option. Yes, to avoid root-rot, but more so because of my laziness. Generally, there seem to be so few out there! And many of those available are ridiculously overpriced.
Enter: Permasteel, my first attempt at growing plants larger than 1. 5' tall. Everything you read about assembling it is real: You definitely need two (very patient) people, and neighbors who don't mind the occasional colorful expletive shouted at the top of your lungs because it is not the easiest to put together. There were a couple times where we had one piece upside-down though so maybe we are just idiots. Overall, it took us about 2. 5 hours to complete. Hey, great bonding time with a pal!
Once complete and after transplanting the veggies into it though, it has thus far been FANTASTIC! I have read from some it "leaks" and shouldn't be kept inside. Well, it's still too cold to start hardening where I live so they are indoors under a grow light still. The only time it leaked for me is the one time I overfilled the reservoir because I wasn't paying attention. Other than my own brilliant error, not a drop. The gauge makes watering a breeze.
Considering I JUST transplanted my plants a couple days ago, we'll see where the journey takes us. After placing the plants into the new soil, I had to fill the reservoir multiple times as this soil is meant to be very light and absorb a lot of moisture. I bought a 72" tall x 2' wide trellis for the cucumber plant, which fits perfectly in the planter and the plant is climbing and latching on already so they already appear to be best friends. I'm sure my window blinds will miss them. I staked the tomato plants and so far so good.
The wheels are smooth and easy to lock when necessary.
Assuming everything continues along as it has been thus far, I highly recommend the planter. Man, do I wish the standing version was self-watering as well. I would get that (or a couple) in a heartbeat. If things don't go perfectly, at least the planter looks cool. -
Fifty dollar less at Costco. com
Costco. com is now carrying the model with the casters. After reading the reviews I first purchased the watering garden without casters from Costco. com. I did check the Permasteel website to compare pricing, reviews and whether the model with casters would be more appropriate in the garden space. As it turned out I placed it in an area that wouldn't require moving. It has worked so well I went to Costco. com to buy another but they were no longer carrying that model so I went to Permasteel direct and purchased the model with the casters.
