Tip from a former Dollar Tree employee... IF you order them (a whole case) and have them sent to the store nearest you, you won't pay shipping and handling.

What you're actually smelling is a compound called geosmin and it is produced from streptomycles bacteria. I believe it's microbiology deficiency and us gardeners we have supplemented our microbiome so much that we know when we smell something that we need more of in the world.

@janeb7633 3 жыл бұрын

I would leave the bottom on over the water drain holes, excess water will end up running off around it and that little bit of a lip will hold some water to keep them from drying out as quick when it is really hot outside. I just ordered a case of them to be delivered, shipping wasn’t awful at all $8. I think they will be great for herbs, lettuce etc. I think if people are gentle with them they will last and work perfectly well. I have seen them talked about for a while, but no one shared a really good pic to see size. I didn’t even think to look online for size until today, they are 14X14X5. So glad you got some and showed them. Thanks.

@lynnbetts4332 3 жыл бұрын

One hack for watering is to drill holes in a piece of PVC, for drip watering. Drill holes in each layer to put the PVC pipe through. The PVC also helps stabilize the stack. Still, put plants that require less water at the top, and those that can handle more on the bottom.
