I like the look of your planters Jake, more pleasing that the usual
round ones. May I ask where you sourced them please?


They came from www.gardenbargains.com but are no longer listed there
(I bought them 3 or 4 years ago).

I've searched online and cannot find "my size" though I did find
http://tinyurl.com/d4hns9g. Clearly, though, this planter has a much
smaller footprint. Mine could take two plants in each "bay" plus
another 3 round the centre of the top tier. I limit to one plant per
"bay" and plus the extra 3 on top and find this works better in terms
of plant size and crop. This one won't take more than 1 plant in each
"bay" and possibly one more central plant in the top tier.

I'd guess that, like mine, you could stack two sets on top of each
other if space is a problem, though that makes the stack difficult to
turn (which you need to do to even out the exposure to the hour of
sunlight we get each week).
