Club member Cynthia Goodell demonstrated the Greenstalk patio planting system at a recent Lake Houston Garden Club meeting.   Here are some of the points that she made. 

MADE IN THE USA – The GreenStalk Original is a patented, soil-based vertical garden made completely in East Tennessee from high quality, food-grade, UV-resistant, BPA, BPS & PVC-free plastic. It comes with a 5 year warranty on both the color and functionality of the planter. 

A 5 Tier GreenStalk Original Vertical Planter comes with a total of 30 planting pockets that you can plant with a variety of small and large vegetables, herbs, flowers, root crops and strawberries. Simply fill each tier to the top with 1 cubic foot of high quality potting mix and plant with starter plants or seeds. For planting ideas, be sure to check out our blog!

• The GreenStalk Original Planters are 10” deep and are perfect for growing both small and large plants
• A planted and watered 5 Tier weighs approximately 150 lbs
• 5 Tier is 19” wide x 55” tall and holds 5 cubic feet of potting mix (or about 40 gallons)
• Water from daily to once every couple of weeks depending on what you plant and time of year

Simply fill the top water reservoir and GreenStalk takes care of the rest. Watch as the water flows from the top water reservoir, down the center of the planter, to each watering disk, where it distributes the water equally to all six pockets. Check the soil often to determine when your plants need water.
