Those that have the 4x4 side by side, what are the plants that you could plant in it with correct spacing? Two/Three tomatoes and what else? Tx

With correct spacing, I had wonderful harvests of green onions, carrots, lettuce and green beans. My zucchini and squash were probably too crowded but I still got a pretty good harvest from the zucchini, not so much the squash. I planted corn and I did get maybe 1/2 dozen ears but they were undersized. I also managed to get two pumpkins as well. I am doubling the size of the garden this year.

If it's a question of size, I recommend making a paper or cardboard model using the dimensions from the picture. It's smaller than it looks. Many of my miniature ferns I planted a few months ago are already pressed against the roof. I suggest planting ferns, they grow great in this terrarium!

I am using my own tomato seeds. Actually, I saved the little plastic inserts that held the sponges--they clean up fine. For seed starting I replaced the little sponge with half a rockwool mini cube. It works great. I was thinking of buying the master gardeing kit but I haven't yet. I'm still on the fence about that, cause I have my own nutrients that I can add to the garden instead and I don't have to spend $40.

Two tomato plants will work, but they grow very dense and I had to train them to stay tall. Next year I plant to only plant one tomato and see how it does. One tomato and a cucumber sounds like a good possibility. With the companion planting it might work out very nicely.

It's a wonderful, good-looking plant holder... that's why I bought a second one earlier this year! Each of the three holders is about a foot across. While it looks pretty sturdy, my advice would be to place a fairly heavy plant on the bottom holder for safety's sake as the bottom support legs do not spread out all that wide. That allows you to place a large plant at the top, which is what I have done on both of mine. A number of friends have commented favorably on our planters and have asked for the name of the manufacturer. Hope this is useful.

I'm not sure. Don't think there's enough difference in the diameter of the three pots to stack and still have room to plant succulents in the bottom two. You could try ... and if it doesn't work, use the three pots as free standing planters. I LOVE our set!!

I have the original size, 50 inches wide x 12 inches tall, providing 13.5 square feet of growing area. That handled 4 tomato plants.

happy to help- hubby says they're 12" across- last year, i fit SO many plants in each of them- you won't be disappointed in their quality or size! i'm ordering some of the window box size this year just for some more variety- have a nice day and happy planting :)

No. And you should take out the marigolds. The tomatoes and peppers should do fine but since the tomatoes have deeper root systems than the box allows they will spread across the bottom requiring a larger area than when in the ground. If you want to plant squash make sure that it is a bush variety and I wouldn't try to plant any more than 2 alone in the planter and make sure that you leave lots of room for the box to get light. I've been using these for years with great results. Also, see global buckets.org for a DIY auto-watering system that works great with these planters.

We used a 14" open ring type support, very similar to what a florist uses but much more sturdy. They are available at lawn and garden centers.The majority of our tomatoes were of the cherry or pear varities.

I just received my vertical garden, so I have done any planting yet. I bought mine for strawberries. I would say some veggies would be fine, smaller compact, lightweight veggies. The tomatoes would be too heavy for it. It should be supported in some way with either the base that is made for it or mounted to something stable.

I put a 44lb bag on a 4'x12' raised bed for tomatoes. They turned out great. It just adds back minerals. I used a fish kelp fertilizer also. You might want to check the PH of the soil after adding.

It is designed for planting one per pot. The tomatoes will get pretty large and you should plan on using stakes or even a small tomato cage. Our planters are doing wonderful this year. It really helps that you can move the bags to maximize the fun. Very happy with these!

2 if they are medium to small sized plants otherwise 1 large plant. I have two medium sized pepper plants in mine, could possibly fit a third if I keep em trimmed. I had a tomatoe plant in there previously and for that I could only fit one plant in there comfortably. It's about six ft tall n maybe 3 wide

I planted them closer together than they needed to be, I think. I covered about 60 square feet. I think 60 plants would cover 100 square feet eaasily

The slots are narrow so it works best for shorter smaller plants. Greens and lettuces did great. I don't think it's big enough for tomatoes or green beans.
