I want something to grow sweet potato vines on inside (to eat the leaves, not for tubers) that won't leak on carpet. Would this work?

I think this might work for what you describe, but you'll notice that the resovior hole doe not prevent water from spilling out so that might be an issue. Hope this helps.

Yes, it would work. It seems to hold water well without leakage. The only thing to keep an eye out for world be if you overfilled it or if it was unlevel. There are openings to fill the water reservoir on both sides of the base which could leak while filling if you use a water hose/spray nozzle with too much pressure. Overall I am very happy with the product and have grown multiple tomato plants over 8 feet tall.

Yes, as long as you don't move it or over fill it with water. If you are going to keep it inside, I would suggest putting down a plastic sheet underneath just in case.

Yes, just as long as you fill the water reservoir carefully. Splashing while filling it will be the only issue on carpet.

Dudes, try Green Slime sold at Walmart. Buy the large gallon sizes and install it into a leaking tire. It works great. It seals leaks from the inside. Make sure to rinse the clear installation tube when storing, unless it will be useless next time you try to use it. You will also need a valve stem remover and maybe some new valve stems. They are cheap at Walmart.

I don't see why not. Plant roots that need extra depth would grow more horizontally. I had a container garden before I used Gtonomics and I was able to grow a variety of plants and vegetables. It would simply become a very large container.

Yes! but I wpuld only reccopmend if you are going to cut white potatoes or softer vegetables. WILL NOT WORK FOR SWEET POTATOES, YAMS OR TURNIPS

i put artifical vines in it.. looks real nice... you could put a real plant in it, but if you do.. place some small pebbles in the bottom , since there are no water holes for drainage

Hi, My husband thinks that you may not get enough pressure or volume of water. However, he also thinks with 1/2 inch pipe, it would work. It's worth a shot. Happy planting.

I am using mine for a fake plant, if you wanted to use for a real plant you will need a different container inside as this is not water tight.

You need to grow a vine on it for real and proper privacy. Am growing a climatis, very easy and pretty. Openings are small but not too small. Better than nothing for sure. My advice though is vine growing ( even out of a pot is OK). Mine is on the ground. Good luck..

I would not use it inside a house. Watering is accomplished by hooking the planter, which comes with a narrow perforated hose that runs top to bottom behind the shelves, to an outdoor water spigot. I filled mine with herbs, peppers and flowers, and everything grew beautifully. It's fantastic.

Would that mean only water/nutrients? If so then the water would leak out of the lower levels. Each "planter" has a hole in the side at the bottom and then any excess from on top leaks into the next level.

It would be difficult to put a started plant in this, as there is no soil, so you would need to clean it first and put it in the cone. If the plant was very small you probably could.

It should work fine for this. It's pretty well constructed, and can easily hold several pounds of tubers.

it is a porous product so I would think that it could leak, I have only used these products outdoors. If you have a pot that does not have drainage holes that you could sit them down into I think you would get along fine. Best of luck to you in your gardening ventures.

For carrots it works, since they have not as large a diameter as sweet potatoes. I have used this a couple of times for carrots and cucumber. For sweet potatoes I would think it takes a huge effort of force - so you have to be very strong - and they might get mashed. But I have not tried this.

Providing the potted plants are well rooted (secure in their soil) and the type of potted plants aren't too delicate and you don't place the vac too close to the plant, I don't think you would have a problem. If the soil in the pots is very dry, it may suck up the plants and soil.

It works fine for sweet potatoes. The key is mounting it solidly to a wall so that you can put maximum torque on the Levert without fear of it coming loose. If you do that it will cut through just about any spud workout issue. If it's a huge potatoe consider slicing in half.

Once it's full of soil & plants, it's very heavy & probably not water-tight. If you have a permanent location for it on a tile floor, maybe in a greenhouse or solarium, it might work indoors. There is an internal drip watering system, but we also water plants from the top.
