#1 VegTrug 8 Pocket Herb Garden
“We love the table! And the reviews were very helpful. Beautiful and sturdy planter table. The reviews were very helpful with the assembly, including the negative ones. One of them mentioned problems with the wood splitting when the screws were inserted so I made sure to pre-drill a pilot hole before running the screws in. Worked like a champ. But our favorite review was the one from Melodie where they attached casters to the bottom. What a great idea. I couldn’t find any that had proper size brackets to fit the legs so I found some threaded stem-mount casters with inserts for mounting to wood legs. Made by Hirate and available on Amazon in several sizes. I chose the 2.5 inch ones and they work great. To attach them you carefully drill a 1/2 inch hole about 1.5 inches deep into the bottom of the legs. Then you screw the threaded insert into the hole until flush. The kit didn’t come with an allen wrench to install it but luckily I had a 10mm allen wrench in my shop. Then you screw the threaded stem into the insert with the provided wrench and you’re done. The wheels make it so much more versatile and easy to move around. Totally worth the extra $24. Love the table and can’t wait to put it to use! Edit: Decided to make our first attempt something easy. Lettuce, lettuce, kale and cilantro. Still yielding in late October in NC. Totally pleased.” – Dave and Kym (Source: Amazon)
“LOVE IT!! When I first opened the box it looked really cheap to me but once I put it together I found it to be sturdy and very nice looking! Not cheap at all!!! There is a shelf at the bottom where you can store things and there is plenty of room for multiple types of herbs. It comes with these black liners that initially look really big and sloppy but once you fill with soil and herbs they fit nicely in the compartments. This looks so much much better than having herbs in random pots. I get so many compliments on it and I love to look at it myself!! Great buy for the price!!” – Caryn (Source: Amazon)
“Perfect for my balcony. Since moving to a condo I have missed having a place to garden. This definitely fits the bill. It was super easy to assemble and honestly nicer than I expected it to be. Wasn’t sure what I wanted to start out with so I just got a bunch of herbs and two pepper plants to see how they fare. I do a lot of cooking and canning so I wanted to be able to walk out onto my balcony and grab what I need to do both. I did end up putting a mat on the bottom in case the water comes through the planters to be courteous to my downstairs neighbors. However I have not had any of the water come through the mesh bags yet. I was more worried about rainy days when I can’t control the amount of water that’s going in. I’ve had this set up for about a month now and love going out there every day to see the progress of my little herb garden.” – Sera Belle (Source: Amazon)
“Great raised herb garden. Delighted with this purchase. The raised herb garden was super easy to assemble on my own (just need a Philips screwdriver), following the picture instructions. The raised bed is sturdy, and I have just planted herbs in it. Hopefully they will take! The water does flow through the 8 pockets and down onto the lower shelf when watered, so it’s not advisable to store anything on the shelf that you don’t want to get wet.” – Nicola (Source: Amazon)
“Love it… I love this planter. It was easy to assemble and sturdy. I’ve planted my herbs in it and as you can see they are growing quite well. The individual pocket liners are easy to use. The only negative thing I have is when I water the plants the water runs on that nice bottom shelf. If you don’t want something to get wet, don’t put it on the bottom shelf. I still love it.” – LeEtta J (Source: Amazon)
“Great addition to our deck! Easy to assemble, simple design, filled with herbs same day!” – Scott (Source: Amazon)
“Worth the money. This planter smells amazing, sits at a nice height, and is even more spacious than expected. The wooden slats underneath the area where the plants sit are supportive but still supply plenty of drainage. Very satisfied with this purchase!” – Amazon Customer (Source: Amazon)
