I love my dollar tree planter but I did just purchase two green stalks with the base that spins! I’m excited.

I drilled out the center and put them in the middle of the picnic table with the umbrella pole running through. Looks really cool as a centerpiece and everyone compliments it and asks where I got it. But then it blocks everyone's faces when we want to talk. 😂 Next year, I'll drive rods in the ground and make a small wall out of them. I don't know if you have tractor supply houses, but they sell rods there. Maybe home Depot. They do dry out quickly and I rotate until the plants mature then they catch sun on their own. I shouldn't have punched out all the holes to retain moisture. Great video.

I just got mine this year, so I’m looking forward to planting in them. My Dollar Tree didn’t have them, but I ordered them online and now have a whole case to have fun growing in. I’m so glad to hear that they’ve held up well for two years in the Arizona sun. I’m going to rewatch your videos to get some ideas on what to plant in them.

I grew strawberries in them last year and only went 4 high and will say with big wind storms last year they never got knocked over while all my other pots where knocked over so I can at least say 4 high is safe from my experience

You're delightful and wonderful -- thanks for the great info !!!❤❤❤

I use my stackables indoors as a hydroponic set up with a PVC pipe in the center attached to a pump in a reservoir of nutrient solution. The pump is on a timer. Although, the stackables are on wheels, I have a variety of grow light configurations so I don’t have to rotate them for lighting purposes but can rotate them for easy access to harvest. I had a Greenstalk that was lost in a fire and hope to have more in the future but for now these stackables are great in the interim.

I have Greenstalks (6 now, with more on the way) and these stackables. I have grown indoor plants and small trees before, so I had a bunch of solid sturdy rolling pot holders and always grab them at yardsales and such places for cheap. I use these now under my stackables. My Greenstalks are always purchased with the rolling bases. My Greenstalks are best for the larger plants, or root crops because of the deeper pockets, but the stackable planters work well for shallower-rooted plants, lettuces, many ornamentals, and most annuals. Each type of planter has its best uses and its deficits, but you sure can save money and still get a garden to be proud of.

The fact that they’re $1.25 and you’ve had them several years in this AZ sun ☀️ is amazing. I’ve never been lucky enough to score some. Always out when I finally get into Dollar Tree. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I bought my stackables a couple weeks ago, but haven’t decided what I would plant. You’ve e given me some really good ideas. I’m in zone 7a8b ( the letters might be reversed) with lots of humidity. My planters don’t have the removable bottom. Already planned to use a tall iron rebar rod for support.

When I first started watching you I ran out and bought these. They're great for my herbs and bush beans and for my son's little carrots

I drilled hole and pounded coated rebar in the middle of the stackable. Where it sits sun hits all around so I don't rotate I can move it easily the pole not deep, just adds sturdy to it

For the price it's great. I no longer stack them because my plants tends to grow too tall or wide.

I finally found some at a Family Dollar, where they still priced them at $1 each!

I really cannot believe that I’ve just had your channel recommended to me by KZfaq. All I watch is gardening channels,haha, and I’ve never seen your channel. They recommend the same thing, same 10 videos over and o we sometimes. I love your style. Glad to have found you.

I'm going to try a steel rod down the middle for stability and a planter wheeled saucer to turn it around.

So excited for you, it’s Easter Sunday and snowing 😫. I can hardly wait to plant 🌱 lol. Happy gardening, new sub!

Oh my goodness! Thanks so much for this update! I saw your green bean video a couple weeks ago and ran out to check all 3 dollar trees in my town till I found them! I may have picked up more than I need and then got anxious because I didn't know how well they'd work. This video helped a ton! Thanks!

A great review of the stackable planters. Just looked at some this weekend and wondered how well they worked.

Literally JUST bought two of these this week! So glad I found your video.

Great video 👍🏽I agree totally in love with these stackables strawberry towers still standing after zone 5 winter adding a few more of these space savers this season 🤩

I just asked about these a video back! thank you it's very informative!

I have a couple of GreenStalks and love them but it’s too costly to get more right now. I’m thinking I’ll pick some of these up and do the PVC option as I love any good diy solution and that’ll save me hundreds of dollars! I’m excited! I’m getting my strawberries going and need lots of vertical space for that. Very happy to have found this video. Thank you

Thanks for this great video! I found a bunch of them at a dollar tree near me. I'm so excited to plant in them.

Great video! I love all of the information. I'm looking forward to checking out more from your channel

Great review and information. I will try them the next time I go to the dollar store. Take care

I am so happy to find you. I am in Pima Arizona and I am a newbie gardener here. I love all the info you put out. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I joined your channel from that dollar tree Planter video👍🏾. 120 in Arizona wow. Thanks for sharing.

I have started plants that I want to place in mine this year. This will be my first time using them since I bought them two years ago. I was one of those who ran out and bought them after seeing yours. Lol ❤️

I tried cutting sponges into small chunks and putting them in the bottom of each pod and it helps with keeping moisture.

Thanks for sharing this review!!! I planted strawberries and onions in them.

Thanks for sharing your experiences with stackables 🤩 The dollar stores don't even carry gardening supplies in my area.

I had not seen these til now. My dollar tree doesn't have them either. I guess I'll Have to order on line. Thank You for the gardening tips .

I’ve had my Dollar Tree Stackables for 2 years, before I started my Channel. I only stack mine 2-4 high here in my CT 6 B Garden. I love using them in lots of small places in my Community Garden. They are so Flexible! 💜💜💜 AuntieEllen

I have 9 of them. I haven’t had great luck with them, but I stuck a few sweet onions in one, and they are bulbing up now.

Thanks for sharing this video I been thinking of purchasing dt stackable pots

I line my DT stackables (and hanging baskets) with winged sanitary napkins to help keep them from drying out. Works pretty good. May try the sponge idea mentioned below. Definitely going to try growing bush beans in them this year.

I love them, but yes they dry out real quick. I used the foil pans as a saucer to help keep them moist

There is one called Mr Stacky and there are places selling each piece for $19.99 and places selling six pieces for varying prices. I brought six of them from Dollar Tree when they were a $1 and just planted some strawberries that I grew from seed. Tfs

Buy a solar powered irrigation kit it's really inexpensive and saves you the trouble of having to check water all the time

I have two Greenstalks and haven't been able to make a decision on what to grow in them. Bush beans it is!!!! Thanks so much for the idea and to help conserve space in my garden.

I bought the dollar tree planters 2 years ago. I only used 6 of them. I stacked them too high and they blew over and one busted. I did get some herbs in mine. Plan to use them this year but smaller stacks.

Greetings. I live in Rhode Island and planting season is coming up. I bought 6 of these and I think I am going to drill holes in the bottom of each pot for drainage. I love picking fresh stuff !!! I plan on doing some lettuce. What is better than picking your lettuce and then going in the house and making a FRESH SALAD ???? And tomatoes .... the little baby ones ..... will be doing YT videos and sharing. Thank you for posting .....

My first year didn't go well, but I am not giving up. Already started my herbs in my tower. Waiting on strawberries to start in the other tower. Turnips seeds are needing to be planted this next week. Too much rain coming this week to plant the seed

First season to try them. I hope mine does as well as yours. TFS

Im going to saw the top of a Dollar tree plant hanger pole, drive it in the ground then stack the tri planters over the pole through a hole that I made with a soldering iron

New sub. Great personality makes for a great video! Thank you!

Mine all broke on the sides... I wanted to love them, but I find I am just to mean to my planters, but I am glad they worked well for others

Loving your videos. I’m interested in your composting methods and haven’t seen a video on that.

🌺🌼👍🏼 I wish my Dollar Tree had those 🌷🌸 those are the first to go !

I got 3 if them a while back and trying to grow herbs in them.

I would like to try stacking different mint plants to about 3 or 4 layers! Even strawberries! Think they would look great! Was surprised they lasted so long!

Hello from Benson, AZ! We are a 8b...much more moderate than Phx. STILL gets up to 100 and over on occasion. So glad to find this channel. You are a breath of fresh air.

I think you could grow a fantastic crop of okra since its so hot there. I haven't been able to grow okra successfully here yet since it is not hot enough here consistently. I live in the SF bay area. I'm going to try again this year and put them in a little green house.

I have a true love hate relationship for these $1 tree stackables! They are great but I absolutely hate having to water them every single day & sometimes twice a day, In this Florida heat!!! 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣🤣 if i go out of town they are so dried out it's ridiculous 🙄 they are the only thing in my garden that runs my water bill up 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😂😂😂

New here 👋🏻🌶 I’m excited to learn more from you. 🍉Definitely hitting Dollar tree next time I’m in the City. 🍓Would love to know best place to get seeds. 🥕Thanks Much love n light to all 💗🧚🏻

I have mine on a 14” plant tray with wheels on the bottom. My issue is lower plants don’t grow as well and are more prone to slugs than higher levels.

Keep an eye on Aldi they had the same idea but larger, about 1 gallon per section/ 3 gallons per layer so they are sturdier and dry less. Not sure if they will bring it again this fall and the price after inflation, still it'll be cheaper than green stalks.

I just subscribed. You have a beautiful garden.

Going to try green beans bush type in those dollar tree ones

I am just finding your Web site and I findingit super 🎉 You are so lucky to have those stakebles at the dollard tree here in Québec city Canada we don't have a lot of things in our Dollars Tree that you have in the U.S.A ! 😢 bye and continue your good work 😘

Thank you so much for your video! How do they do during our dust storms? Do you find that they can blow over easily and if so do you have any tricks to prevent that?

I didn't even know these existed!!!!!

I would definitely suggest E-6000 glue for anything outside and hot. I'm in Southeast Louisiana and this glue is heat/cold proof, and non-toxic once it's dry. The fumes are the bad part, but it works!

I definitely have a few lol

I love what you are doing but, I have to say, not all DollarTree stores carry the merchandise you have recommend. The stores by me have never carried the stackable pots. I had to order a case of them (luckily before the price increase) just to get started. I really didn’t want 36 of them but, oh well! I can’t wait to get them planted!

Please let me share a game changer for making holes. Use a sodder tool. It melts right through! No cracking.... Works great! I'm starting my second year with both Greenstalk and the stackables. First I'm going to say comparing the products is unrealistic. Quality, size, USA made, innovative water design, food grade, price are all night and day different - opposite! They both have their place and can be used effectively. The stackable I bought last year are depleted by weather, becoming brittle. They won't hold up long. Greenstalks are guaranteed - I think it's five years. Knowing the limitations of your garden space and budget will direct you. They both have their place. Another idea about stabilizing is putting a pole along the outsides of the planter. Could be limbs, old broom dowels, etc. And, if you can set up drip irrigation on a timer? Have fun!

Hmmm... I have some Comfrey, Habineros and Sunflowers.. I feel like I can save space with this thing... now I have to invest in this thing.

Did you drill holes untie bottom of the stackable. I had good luck with that so roots don’t get water logged

I used a metal rod thru the middle of a large stack of them but everything i planted did not grow

Our stores do not get them. I want them so bad!!!!!

Another great video. I am new so I can not figure out how to enter the giveaway..

New sub

I'm trying to find out if there is a recycle stamp on the bottom of these, since they're only available by mail right now. Only #'s 1, 2, 4 and 5 are safe in which to grow food. I live in an apartment, and this would help increase my growing space, but I don't want to take a chance with something that might be toxic.

I’ve been to like 4 dollar trees and none of them carry these stackables. I even tried to buy them from dollar tree online and they won’t sell them online. Just in the store.

Your video must be a hit because I have gone to ALL the store around here and they are sold out

When I was a broke college student, I got some of these for my dad for Father's Day. He loved to garden and grow food for our family. He passed away a little over a year ago, and my first serious attempt at a garden feels like an opportunity to connect to his memory. In search for some gardening tools, I stumbled across this set of Dollar Tree Stackables in his old tool shed. I got a GreenStalk on Black Friday, but I'm just excited to grow in this Stackable. Maybe I'll grow bush beans!

They are out of them even online
