Spray the outside of the planter with Pam cooking spray, it will keep the ants away.I do thi on my humming bird feeder every year, it work wonderfully well.

For stacks on a hard surface such as a deck fill a large pot (use old potting soil to save $). This will do several things: A place for your rod to stabilize/The stacks will not dry out as fast/Gives you more height/Plant sweet potato vine or something trailing in big pot makes it even prettier/saves your deck from stains/ You can rotate the pot for sun exposure if need be. Also I fill my entire stackable pot with soil to give roots more room to grow and to retain moisture. I have a stack I leave vacant at beginning of the season to use for volunteer plants I dig up or when I have one or two bedding plants left over. It then becomes my emergency stash when I need a plant to fill in someplace.

Having done these many times…it would probably help filling and planting each level first then assemble! In southern climates they do not last long due to sun exposure. You might get two summers. So something to think about.

Maybe fill the planters before stacking them would work better

I don't have the soldering tool you are using but started using my woodburning tool several years ago for putting holes in anything plastic. Heat works so much more efficiently over drilling when you are working with plastic. Although I have purchased 3 GreenStock vertical planters I still use my dollar tree ones for herbs, short flowers and strawberry plants. I have found that placing a large rock on the top of the dollar tree planter keeps the stack from blowing over although I don't stack mine over 4 or 5 high and I purchased an extra GreenStock lazy susan base for the dollar tree planters so I can rotate them to receive equal sun exposure.

I’ve watched many videos on the dollar tree planters and I like your methods best. Creating alternate drainage holes and adding the sponges should help the soil to retain moisture through those blazing hot summer days. I also like that you’re not cutting or drilling into the pots, which are thin and can easily crack. I think this will extend the life of the individual pots through the years. Thanks for the great video!

I bought the sponges, and they are perfect. Also, use the laundry bags they have over the Dollar Tree towers they fit perfectly.

Nice. I must add that I love those Bonsai trees on the back shelves.🙂

Just get a straight and robust stick from the yard. I have a couple of acres so they are pretty easy to find. I use them for rustic fences and rustic outdoor stairs as well. Just zip them to that instead of having to go buy them. I take some and make a pointed edge with lopers or garden shears on one end. I use the rubber mallet to pound them in the dirt and there you go. Easy squeezy and freezy :)

You could also use something to fasten the 2 support poles to your raised garden bed sides in the corner on each side and then zip tie the tower to them. Nothing will knock it over then! Just a thought!🤔 God Bless!

You should leave the strawberry crown above the soil level, bury only the roots.

Love the idea. If any one has a store called Daiso near them, they also sell those green stakes at much lesser price than the big box store along with other garden goodies.

Just stumbled upon your channel, your bonsai trees are gorgeous! 😍

You can also sew up a cover using row cover fabric for frost.

I saw this stack idea in a gardening catalog a couple years back. They wanted a phenomenal amount of dollars for this same idea. I am headed to my Dollar Tree to see if they have the 3 in 1 pots for sale. Thanks, Zen Gardener!.

Are you single? 😂😂😂 I love all that you’re doing and aspire to creating beautiful areas as you have. One area at a time! Hello from CT!

[KristinaHoneyHavenFarm]

I just bought some of those pots yesterday and was trying to determine how I could effectively "irrigate" them. Thank you!

Green garden stakes are also sold at your local Family farm and home or Tractor supply place. Also they do have metal in them but it's more like a hollow metal straw.

Recently, I saw those clear domes at my local Dollar Tree, but they were a bit larger.

[balthizarlucienclan]

I would have setup each tray and filled it with soil and plants before building the stack. I would likely have also filled the top tray on place since you are connecting the stakes to it.
