Would these work in a small (4x4) raised garden bed? Or are they only for potted plants?

The only issue I see is that your water reservoir needs to be below the stake itself. As long as you can satisfy that requirement it would work fine.

Just my opinion, I think maybe getting some garden edging would be better to collect the leaves, or there is flex border material, like the recycled decking, that you could wrap around ground stakes, that may be better suited. This is a great raised bed, I bought two of them, but I am going to use them for vegetable gardening and make mini-greenhouses out of them, maybe do both projects !! :)take care

I wouldn't unless you plan to keep them in the ground or to keep them separated as part of a bigger system like hydroponics. The many holes will keep the soil more on the dry side compared to similar size pots. As a general rule, a larger pot will be moist longer periods and keep the plant stress to a minimum for your herbs. I would recommend the stacking pots like the three from Nancy for herbs (on Amazon) or a rectangular window box.

I used potting soil and steer manure, I grow Potatoes and onions in these. I can't tell from the picture, but I only use the ones with the sturdy handles. I have other ones and they don't stay up, the handles fold in. I love these pots. #Easy to move around.

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.

I've been using these planters for 5-6 years, and I've had pretty good luck-I think they work better for smaller tomatoes(cherry,sweet 100) but just make sure to keep them watered and use decent growing mix.follow the recommendations.

Yes, I've used them several times outside, on 4 large potted topiaries. If gone for a week I used 2 per plant. 2 weeks - 4 per plant. These are large 24" + pots.

these would work perfectly for 2" pots i used 3" pots and the pots are a little to big. 2" pots would be the way to go and these things work awesome

The soil is heavier than potting soil so it is not optimal for pots and planters. Seeds may grow but there may be issues with drainage. Also pots are hard to move with heavy soil in them. I am using it in the garden; I re-ordered potting soil for the planters.

They just come in small black greenhouse production pots. Not too attractive. You could replant them into nicer 2" to 3" planters, but it would probably be easier to make a decorative wrap with foil or paper using the existing planter, and tie with some nice ribbon. A nice wide decorative ribbon might work all by itself. Your florist could probably give you some good ideas.

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.

Yes it will..I did that to start and put 1 in the pot and then later had to put them in the ground and used 2 for both of those plants. My plants are doing well with these spikes. Good luck. :)

yes they would work perfectly in 2" net pots I used 3" net pots and the pot is a little too big. Next time i will be using 2" pots for sure. And these things really work great

If plants are NOT too heavy, yes. It would be easier to answer if you stated size of plant/pot size???

Yes, this is what my wife purchased them for. However...and as Ellen G. stated, they need to get adequate sunlight. This was a problem in our house in the location where my wife intended. Another thing to beware of is the watering issue. With a wall design, one might use an array of small containers to hold the plants individually; it's likely that such containers won't have drainage holes. Be very careful with over-watering the plants without drainage to the soil else you will quickly find dead succulents from root rot!

There are not enough joiners (the blocks you slide the boards into) to do so. There are 6 total. If you can find more of these by either purchasing them or making them then yes, but the beds will be more shallow and you will not be able to plant certain vegetables.

I think it would work. I'm very happy with these. I have very heavy, large cement planters on mine.
