Growing tomatoes is hard, but these containers can help you crack the code.
The media could not be loaded. Nothing says summer like the smell of a tomato plant. But getting that plant to produce tomatoes is more complicated than you might think. However, these containers may be the answer to all your tomato woes. Let me explain. Problem #1: Tomatoes love water, but not too much water. Solution: The self-watering feature on this planter ensures that the tomato plant receives the right amount of water. The reservoir at the bottom allows the plant to draw up water as needed through capillary action. This planter has 4 main reservoirs and then an overflow reservoir. If necessary, the overflow reservoir can be drained by removing one of the white plugs. However, manual draining is unnecessary because while the reservoir is water-tight, the modular construction of the planter is not. So excessive water will leak out the sides. This prevents overwatering, which will damage your plant's roots. This feature makes it an excellent choice for an outdoor planter. I would not recommend it for indoor use.The reservoir is 1.5 to about 2 inches deep. I was concerned this was not deep enough to hold much water, so I measured how much water it could hold. It can hold at least 5 cups, 40 fluid oz, or 1.3 liters of water. Extremely hot weather can deplete that much of a water reserve in a day, but it will prevent the need for you to water your tomatoes multiple times a day. Problem #2: Tomatoes love the sun, but not too much sun. Solution: The supports provided with the planter allow you to position the tomato plant strategically to ensure it receives the right amount of sunlight which means you can maximize your tomato crop. Most tomato plants thrive at temperatures between 65-95 degrees Fahrenheit. The wheels on these planters allow you to move your plants into the shade during the hottest hours of the day if needed. Depending on the size of your plant, you might be able to use the existing trellis to rig up some shade with a sheet or tarp.Problem #3: An unseasonably cold night will kill your tomato plant. Tomatoes do not care for temperatures below 50 degrees. Early in the season, when your plants are young, you can quickly drop a sheet over the trellis and protect them from the cold. Later in the season, when your plants are larger, the wheels on these planters make it easy to move them indoors for the night. Even with the soil, the plant, and the trellis, the planter will be easy enough for most people to lift over doorways. Pro Tip: Add your dirt before you put on the trellis.Potential concerns-These planters are attractive but are made of plastic. This makes the planter lightweight enough to move around but might also be more susceptible to damage and fading over time. The most concerning feature is that the casters are made of plastic. Outdoor living spaces aren't always level, so the casters could be damaged. The good news is that these planters will work fine without the casters. You can still lift them to move them around if you do it carefully by lifting the planter by the solid piece at the bottom. It just won't be as easy or convenient. But for the price, I think it’s worth the risk.

Tomato cage -watch size measurements
I purchased 3 of these planters for my patio tomatoes. I must not have noted the measurements as I was surprised how small the actual planter boxes were (9x9 inches).That being said, they were easy to put together as were the cages. They were lightweight and easy to move to the patio.I would just recommend really looking at the size measurements listed.

Good quality - good value!
There are several of these selling on Amazon and this was NOT the least expense - but it was the highest rated. So glad I bought this one. Very well made and pretty sturdy considering its size. There is a big difference when ordering from a US company that manufactures their products in China vs. a China company selling direct through Amazon. American companies pay attention to quality and their assembly instructions actually make sense. It took minutes to assemble and I can't wait to start growing tomatoes on my deck!

Super easy to put together! My 4 year could even do it and he did! lol the quality is like a tougher plastic and it has 4 drainage holes spots each with a little chamber that hold water. I have tomatoes and cucumbers in each one I purchased. Worth the money!

Easy to set up patio garden pots
These are incredibly easy to put together, and my tomato is already thriving. I have one set up for green beans, and one for peas too. They seem very sturdy, have great drainage and took only minutes to put together. You can buy multiple and combine them for larger potting areas as needed too! Perfect for whatever level of potted gardening you're at!

A part was missing, No Customer Support Help
No help from Linex when a part is missing.I bought four of the 67 inch models. As others have noted, they're easy to assemble and deploy. However....Linex shorted me one of the 4-way connectors. Trying to get a resolution has been a pain:- The phone # and URL that were here on Amazon were for a different company with a similar name (linex.com)- Once I found their website, linexgarden.com, posting a question on their chat window, got NO response.- I emailed support@linexgarden asking for a replacement part. I received a same day response saying:"Thank you very much for purchasing our product on Amazon and reaching out to us. We highly value every customer's shopping experience, and we sincerely apologize for the oversight in your order, which was missing one Part J Four Way Connector.Please rest assured that we will arrange the resent of the missing 4-way connector. The resent item will be shipped out via express delivery as soon as possible, and we will provide you with the tracking number immediately after it has been dispatched, so you can keep track of the shipment information."It has been over a week and I have heard nothing since this exchange. I have sent follow up emails and not received any response.--- update ---2 days after posting the above, I finally received the part needed, along with a few extra's. So, from the time it I first contacted Linex:- It took 11 calendar days to get a resolution- Linex was very unresponsive- I was never given any sort of update, like a tracking #, etc- emails went unanswered- the part was shipped from an address that's, according to Google maps, a 45 minute drive from me. So it should have been here days ago.Linex needs to work on their customer support
