Would these planters be suitable to grow herbs?

Yes, that is exactly what we used them for last summer. We have two 30 inch and one 36 inch and grew basil, thyme, mint, parsley ... and enjoyed them all summer.

Possibly. I believe that you might have to put a plastic liner in them. A fiber liner might not hold the moisture level steady enough for herbs. If you tended them every day, and used a blended soil with a lot of peat in it, the fiber liner might work.

Yes, although the water can drain from the bottom and stain siding if they are mounted under windows. I solved the problem by placing herbs in containers in the planters rather than filling with dirt and planting directly in the planter. They are very nice planters.

I would imagine you could, as they are organic. I would just adjust the size of them according to your container. I used them in my container garden last year and they worked well, but I used very large pots. Since they're spikes they can easily be broken in half.

I live in Tucson so some annuals overwinter here as perennials, but I have a rhubarb (1st year) in mine and another with several varieties of mint which have survived our last very mild winter. I think unless you have a very deep rooting perennial you would be OK with these planters, dependent on temperature,. they are far enough off the ground that a light bulb(incandescent) under the bench and a cover over the bench should protect most plants through even a freeze into the teens.

I would say it would definitely be strong enough. Fill the planters and them remove them to another location. Bottom can be used for storing other empty pots. For the money, it is a good value for novice gardener.

Probably would work fine. They might be a bit to large for small seedling pots, but you can break the stakes into small pieces if you'd like to use them in small pots.

It all depends, if you have small baby plants yes but they are quite small. So probably think about something bigger. Hope it helped.

I used mine to grow some herbs, and start plants for transplanting. Very successfully, I adjusted the light to be as close as possible without touching the plants.

If they are larger dry herbs then yes if not you will need to get a herb chopper or grinder.

I think so. The planter is basically a bag suspended on three stainless steel wires. It comes with a cap but you could leave the cap off and plant flowers there. Put a drip irrigation tube into the top of the planter and you're good! That said, don't plan on the planter lasting more than MAYBE two years. Unfortunately, they deteriorate in the sunlight and fall apart.

I would say yes but you would need to get something bigger as they get older ad grow. If your looking for something you can use for a long time I would go bigger.

Yes. That is exactly why I bought this except that I grow my herbs indoors.

They would be too heavy, I think. They are much heftier than a typical plastic planter for a railing.

These are great for most herb plants. Keep an eye on the roots on the bottom to make sure they're not too cramped.

It is metal so therefore I am guessing it would be fine for that, but its not insulated so it will be HOT to touch. I used it for planters.

I don't know about that...I don't think it would work, I use mine for air plants & they are thriving.

I bought 2 of these boxes. We planted a variety of herbs in one, and mums in another. Both are growing well.But I don't know how veggies would do. Sorry.
