Mr. Stacky 5-Tier Strawberry Planter Pot, 5 Pots

Genuinely surprised at how well this works . Excellent value for money . Feels flimsy when first assembled but once plants are in the weight of soil soon sorts that out . Very healthy strawberry plants thriving .

1st year at growing strawberries and so far with this product all is growing well

Not sure if this is supposed to have a support or a pipe up the middle but there is a massive hole in each stage. Could explain why other reviewers complain about overwatering.

Pleased with product.Prompt delivery.

This is an excellent planter. Allows planting 20 strawberry plants while taking up very little ground space.Easy to assemble, plant up and water.Good price also.

I love the fact that there are 20 spots to plant into. Great product to grow many items in a small area. Easier to keep weeds under control. Wish I had found these a long time ago.

I bought one for myself and another for my mother along with 2 sets of 20 bare roots Everbearing Ozark Beauty Strawberry Plants. Mom and I are both fairly new to gardening, but our plants are flowering and look healthy, and we both love how they look.I haven't had any trouble with it falling over even though I have nothing anchoring it. It seems fairly sturdy when well-watered, and we have seen some good winds here since I set it up and my toddler regularly pokes at it.I'm really wondering how this will hold up next year, since in my experience a lot of plastic containers will break down and become brittle with the weather. If it holds together well, I'll probably get more next year!5/3/2017 update: I have 3-6 strawberries growing per plant! Unfortunately, my mom's strawberry plants died, though after discussion, we realized she had both been moving it inside/outside with the cold and keeping it in the shade, so both factors may have contributed to their demise. Dad loves the look of it though and they're both excited to have learned from the experience and try again another time. Also my toddler did pull off the top layer once. However, I was able to easily stick the freed dirt/plants back and place and no harm seems to have come from their little adventure.5/13/2017: update: I'm harvesting strawberries every 3 days and collecting ~8 strawberries each time. They're mostly smallish, but it's an ever-bearing variety, so no surprise there. They are more tart than expected for the variety. Research suggests it might be a spacing issue, but on examination several of the "pots" appear low on soil, so I'll fix that and hopefully get sweeter strawberries moving forward. Handy thing about this container is I could easily move the whole thing into the cage with my blueberry bushes, protecting it from birds, rabbits, and other wildlife. Though tart, we are definitely enjoying them.7/29/2018 update: I fell behind on watering last year and all my plants in this planter died. The ones I planted in the garden survived and fruits this year. I don't regret my purchase, but I think I'll wait until I have a better watering system before I use this again.

I purchased this for my daughter to plant some strawberries in. She's very happy with it. Will see how the strawberries grow and mature in the planter

Valuable

It's been almost a year since I bought this Mr. Stacky planter and planted it with strawberries. While the height of the 5-unit system makes it a little less stable, it's still been living on my deck since I installed it and it's not been toppled. The berry plants are now putting on new leaves and look very promising for their second year. Watering with this system is much easier than watering one of those ceramic strawberry pots. There has been some soil washing out of the lower cups that will have to be replaced; something to know with permanent planting. If planting annuals, the units can be emptied into the compost bin and nested into each other for space-saving storage until needed again. For vertical gardening on a deck, porch, or balcony, this is an inexpensive and functional system. It could also be used to increase space in a small in-ground garden, though if it's set on the ground a gardener could leave off the bottom saucer and run a stake or piece of rebar down the center hole for added stability.
