Not sure if this is the right forum, but I didn't see one for container gardening. Anyone on here use a Greenstalk tower? I just ordered a 5 tier. I'd like to know what kind of vegetables you grow in them and how they do. Also, how do you anchor it from wind?

I wrestled with reality for 36 years, and I'm happy to say I finally won out over it.

My wife bought something similar…different brand..a few years back. It was wasted money.

What happened? How did it go wrong?

it's a tower with deep pockets and a watering system: Greenstalk

I got it because my yard has almost no sun, so I thought it would make good use of the tiny area that gets sun for most of the day.

The watering system didn’t work. The plant “pockets”seemed to be not large enough. There was no way for it to be reliably self supporting. A few large flower pots worked much better. In short, what was planted did not thrive. To be clear, this was a different brand.

OK, thanks. This one has 10" deep tiers. I looked at the cheaper knockoffs, and they seemed way too small. I'll try doing updates as I get it set up and the year progresses.
