You could get a couple of pieces of angle iron or an old Craigslist bedframes for sturdier support and better separate casters so you can safely move it around.
I bet nasturtiums would look amazing on the ends so they can drape over the side. You can do the smaller varieties so they didn't get too crazy. I considered buying one of these but wasn't sure how much use I'd get compared to the price point. I have enjoyed my Greenstalk and will eventually be getting the watering system but my Greenstalk is one of the things that pushes me to get out more regularly to check on my plants in the heat. I think it's important to at least do a once over of the spring/summer garden everyday to at least insure that things are getting watered properly. For me, having to water a few plants or areas by hand is a better way to insure I check the areas daily. I still will occasionally miss a day here n there but each gardener needs to find what works best for their lifestyle, garden, plants etc. Your garden is lovely and I enjoy having a local channel to compare notes! You are truly a doll and would love to have you come by to see my garden one day. Our neighbors love that we are gardening in our front yard and we get lots of regular walkers/hikers that go by because I'm right by hiking trails. Cheers and keep up the great videos!
@@naynerboppers5254 ww, Renee, you are so sweet. I would love to come by and visit with you some day! Yes, I think the reason my GreenStalks do so well is because I actually give them quite a bit of attention. I do have automated watering setup, but I give them a once-over with the hose every couple of days. As for the self-watering planter, I got mine for 50 bucks on Nextdoor. I don't think I would pay full price for it otherwise. But just like the GreenStalk, I gave it more attention, and it did very well for me last year!
@@GreenLove1 Anytime you know you'll be closer to my side of the East Bay (near Garin Park), my garden is open to come visit! I've been considering joining some garden groups or events to join forces with others that would love to do more community building efforts that relate to the garden. I'd love to be able to hold intimate workshops (free or small supply donation) for all ages and abilities....so until I get a bit more of my garden fully finished and cleaned up, I practice by teaching those that stop by while I'm out there working.
