Comments about Grow Bed Savings Kit:

This combination is perfect if you are just getting started like me. Last year, I had some tomato plants and tried using the green wire ring stands from the hardware store and they were really flimsy and don't store well. The tomato ladders are fantastic, strong, and stack easily for storage. The grow box is great too. I have several of these - no more row gardening for me!

This kit is a great way to start your garden. The tomato ladders are incredibly sturdy--the best I've ever had. The raised bed allows gardeners to add compost and soil inhancers easily--no rototilling required.

Comments about Grow Bed Savings Kit:

Last year I made my own grow bed. I also used old style tomato cages. I saw your product and I was real impressed. I had to use a rope to tye the cages to the fence last year. I'm looking forward to your cages, they are very well made and stronger.

The grow beds and tomato ladders were really easy to install and fit well into my small yard. I haven't had the miraculous growth I've read about with these beds, but they were a good value and I'm sure with more experience I'll get better yields!

Comments about Grow Bed Savings Kit:

I love this kit! Easy to assemble by yourself. My tomatoe plants are crazy - already to he top rung of the ladders in 6 weeks! My only problem is that I am having difficultly keeping all of the stems in the ladders - I am going to have to buy twist ties to tie up some of the stems! All in all I love this product and it made my new garden look like a real garden!!

Grow Bed with Tomato Ladders

By Appalachian Doc

from Southwest Virginia on 7/10/2008

Pros:

Drains Well, No weeding, Weather Resistant

Cons:

Tomato plants too crowded

Best Uses:

Growing Seeds, Outdoor Plants

Describe Yourself:

Avid Gardener

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Grow Bed Savings Kit:

The Grow Bed is easy to assemble, and sturdy. It is easy to arrange a drip hose between several raised beds to further reduce maintenance chores. My tomato plants are too big for me to reach all of them. They just took off. Next year I'll space them more widely. This isn't exactly a criticism, just that the plants grew bigger than I expected. They LIKE the Grow Bed. My other plants in additional Grow Beds are also doing much better than those planted conventionally. The price of the bed plus ladders was a nice savings, too. Good item. You won't be sorry you chose it.

Comments about Grow Bed Savings Kit:

I use my grow bed and tomato towers to grow...tomatoes! These are the best tomato towers I have ever used! They are sturdy, and their inverted ladder shape hold up tomatoes very well,even when they are small. They leave space for me to plant basil around the edge of the grow bed. I have inquiries from gardening friends about where to find them. I also buy several grow beds at a time and connect them together to make longer beds.
