My Dad and Step-mom swear by them. They have them around their pool. The concrete around the pool is the only full sun spot in thier yard so it was containers or nothing. When I visited them everything in them looked like it was doing extremely well. Not a scraggly plant in the lot. Step-mom says it extends the growing season for them in Tennesee and the yields are more than the two of them can eat by a long shot. They mainly grow peppers and tomatoes and sometimes cukes. Dad the engineer likes the water delivery system and says it makes them low maintaince. I've looked into them for myself, but they are a bit pricy. Dad claims they are worth every penny...I just have other places I'd rather spend my extra pennies at the moment. |
