Perfect for small, separated gardens with odd shapes

This is a terrific small garden sprinkler. I have several small, non-connected gardens in unusual shapes on fairly hilly territory in my yard. This allows to me to set a pattern to fit each of them. It's a lightweight plastic so in a few areas I've had to weight it down to keep the pattern where I want it. I was doing that with small rocks but found that some U shaped metal stakes I had around from other projects do the job of anchoring very well. This is the only sprinkler I've found that fits all the different sizes and shapes of my garden areas. It's easy to move and change the patterns. The top is a dial so you just dial up the one you need and set it down. Since it's plastic I know I'll probably have to replace it every so often. So far this summer it's holding up very well.

I have potted plants in several locations on the first floor of my house and in my front yard, so huddling all my plants in one location and rigging up tubing connected to a central water tank as some other systems require was not an option for me. I bought enough of these to use with all my plants and put them into three groupings, each with a large bowl, saucepan, or jug full of water. I came home after a three-week vacation to find virtually all my plants looking as healthy as when I had left. What surprised me was how little water the plants actually consumed; I guess when there's a constant source of water available they'll just sip moderately.

A couple of notes: the tubes are approximately three feet long, which is longer than I expected and worked just fine for me. These units will work best if you straighten out the tubes so that the ends will stay at the bottom of your water source. I hung mine off a table overnight with the spikes connected to let gravity do it for me.

One caveat: the description as of June 2012 says these are made in Austria, but the ones I received are made in China. Also, they are packaged as three-packs, not five packs.

This year I have decided to make my kids a themed garden play area. Fairy gardens seem to be all the rage these days!!

I'm going to make it with silver bells, wind chimes, bird houses, and all these unique little flowerpots.

When I saw this pot, I couldn't resist! I received my pot yesterday, and it was much smaller than I expected. That being said, I still gave five stars because of how cute it is. It's not too heavy, but there's lots of details in it. Even down to the path of pavers! I will be updating this later with photos, I'm thinking micro succulents would be the best for this pot. I will be traveling this weekend, but when I return, I can't wait to go pick them out. They also included a very small gift. A little corgi puppy check in the mail. This entire purchase is just so stinkin adorable.

That being said, I will need to go back and buy another one. Since I have two kids and this pause not nearly as big as I thought it would be, I will need a second one so that there's no fighting over how many plants or what plans we would plant and the small pot. I bought this pot at a discounted price and trade for my unbiased opinion and rating. If you're looking for a large pot, this is not it for you, but if you would like a small pot for inside your home or on your desk at work, this is perfect. I would say it would even fit a windowsill as well!

I wanted something simple that wouldn't compete with my garden art. These are perfect! Super bright and create a circular swirl pattern on the ground. Classic shape that won't go out of style and I think will age beautifully. I love that they're glass and metal - not plastic.

This planter is perfect for my needs. It is lightweight, has a plastic feel but it is plastic mixed with clay. The color is darker than the photo, more like the color around the top. I got it to transplant a beefsteak begonia and it is gorgeous, better than I expected. It can be used inside or out. There is a plug in the bottom but I left it in for now. I will certainly buy more of these. They would be suitable in casual or formal settings. I highly recommend.

This is a great small garden book with a wide variety of contemporary gardens.  Exciting gardens created on rooftops, basements, etc.  I particularly loved the understated contemporary ones that used limited plantings and modern water features.

This tip basket is the perfect size for someone with a large garden. It is lightweight but strong enough for small branches, twigs, yard clippings, leaves and weeds. It is not strong enough to hold heavy items like large branches and I do not suggest dragging it along behind you as it will probably wear through or tear fairly easily if it snags on something. If it does get too heavy for you to carry, there are 2 handles near the top so another person could help you. I have several acres and this is the perfect size for a couple hours work. I just toss in whatever light weight tools I need and off I go!

This is something for periodic maintenance of lawns as it has quite a small width.

I have a small garden and needed something small and easy to manage.  This is perfect!  It's lightweight and reliable.  I've only had it one season so far, but I've used it at least 5 times.

Purchased these as a gift for a friend, then forgot to give it in the gift bag. Self gift! Installed them in my garden after handwriting (hand etching) the plant names on the copper plate. The copper is easily dented, so it wasn't difficult to engrave. I like the patina that the labels took on after being in the garden for a short time. Almost wish that I had purchased larger markers for my larger plants (trees, vines, etc), but the size is perfect for small plants or potted plants. Very nice product.

I had seen planters like this in the Ghibli store on a visit to Japan, and was wishing I'd bought one, so I was glad to see this on Amazon.

It's more expensive than it should be for what it is, but it's also entirely excellent if you're a Miyazaki fan.

This is much smaller than I was expecting... because I hadn't been paying attention. It's a little bit bigger than a tennis ball. But it turns out there are (at least) two different versions of this. There's another size -- what I'd seen in Japan -- that's more like the size of a softball. (I actually really like the smaller size, just not what I was expecting.)

I can't tell what this is made of; it seems like it might be ceramic. The face is painted on. This would be fun to tuck into an outdoor garden, but I don't think the paint on the face would survive that.

If you really want to use this as a planter -- which is part of its cleverness, of course -- it's going to need something underneath. It has a drainage hole in the bottom. I think I might put it in a pot with other plants so that the drainage hole has dirt beneath it.

I'm not sure I'll use the included daisies, as that seems like too large of a plant for this little thing. I'm thinking that a viny herb like thyme would be perfect.

I is easy to use and then it collapses back to a small space.  I find it very useful in my wife's garden.

Instead of digging a garden, I made a cardboard lasagna garden with these. Worked like a charm. Will be adding new plants and removing as many as I can find this spring. Then it's on to the next garden!

I bought this pot to house a fairly large camellia. I like the square shape because it allowed me to pot the plant in a cheap round nursery pot, with mulch surrounding it, giving me a nice, insulated pot for climate control. I like the light weight because it allows me to rotate the pot regularly, to help give the plant even sun exposure.
I'm thinking I'll get another one of these pots this spring, to house a Brugmansia.

I live in a condo so my only outdoor space is a balcony with a short wall.  I wanted to start my own garden so this planter was perfect!  It fits perfectly on my 6" wide wall.  I now have 5 and I am planning on ordering 2 more.  Two of the five I ordered fit perfectly but three of them were a little loose (during the shipping process they were stacked so I think the outer ones got a little stretched).  However, this was an easy fix because I just took one paper towel sheet folded it and wet it, then I wedged it underneath the planter between the wall and the planter.  Now they are all rock solid on my balcony wall.  If you have a 6" wide wall this is a perfect planter!

These flower pot rings worked and looked perfect outside in the garden area. I attached them to an antiqued wood frame along with some mosaic backsplash tiles. The result couldn't have turned out better.

A good looking little garden. No problems with missing pieces or parts not lining up as others have mentioned. I also used wood glue for the dowels as some have suggested. Really easy to assemble; a ratcheting screwdriver and some c-clamps are useful. I would suggest aligning the legs so each module is square with the floor with one screw on each side almost set before driving in the second screw, otherwise, it can get pretty wobbly.
