Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
This would be perfect except for the fact that one of the casters snapped almost immediately.
It was another case of cheap plastic in the wrong place. Now I can't move it around as I'd hoped or the wheel will fall off totally.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I purchased this to hold the Tomato Success Kit. I roll if off the patio onto a gravel driveway for it to get sun and back in if the spring weather gets stormy. I can also roll it to a better location for sun during the day. It is very sturdy and makes the transition from gravel to pavement and back again very well. The tray underneath holds my sprays and new plants awaiting transplant.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I love the fact that it can be moved around to catch the sun. It's really an eye-catcher and generates lots of conversation. The plants are attractive and healthy looking. We are looking forward to delicious tomatoes this summer.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I wanted these for the wheels, to get tubs off the deck. The inserts have to be pounded in and then the wheels pounded into them, but the wheels don't fit the inserts, even with pounding. 4 of the wheels (I bought 2 trolley kits) already broke off the inserts and one of the wheels on the 2nd trolley is about to break. One of the nuts won't tighten, but there were no spare nuts with the hardware. [...]
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
The first problem was the kit included NO instructions at all. I tore through every piece of packing anything that arrived and noting with any type of information ever turned up. Luckily I still had the catalog picture and used that. After three attempts, I did get it right. Outside it went, the soaked medium went in, two tomato plants went in. and the cage went up. Then it was time to turn it 90 degrees to it's permanent place. Two wheels promptly broke off. Everything had to be dismantled so the cart could be turned on end. The plastic had snapped, so there was no re-inserting the wheels. There's nothing to hold those wheels in place, so the item cannot be moved. The whole thing sits at a 45 degree slant, so the watering system works improperly. Total Fail.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
easy to assemble. Able to water and pick tomatoes without bending over. That's a plus for my husband.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I love this product. Very helpful to my back and the Tomato Success Kit is wonderful too. It only holds two tomato plants, but I have no problems with wilt, bugs, blossom end rot, etc. I use good quality soil, add lime, and an organic soil ammendment or compost. Great Brandywines and Beefsteak tomatoes this year! Might get another!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I love being able to move my plants to get maximum sun exposure. This is a perfect product for people with limited space for gardening or older people who find gardening difficult. A great gift idea too.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Since moving to a small home with a small yard, it is great to have an easy way to grow tomatoes. I am 79 but still like to have some gardening activities.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Put some bigger wheels like the size of lawnmower wheels on cart to easier move it on uneaven surfaces
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
It allows me to reorganize my patio garden as the summer progresses without any heavy lifting. What a back saver! Convenient and versatile.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Trolley frame holes did not line up correctly. Had to travel miles to son's home to use his electric drill to correct the situation. Aside from that initial disappointment, product is now assembled and I love it!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Easy to assemble.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
We bought this product along with the tomato success kit for my 80+ father who loves to garden tomatoes but can't walk safely in the garden anymore. He loves it! He was able to get his hands dirty for the first time in years but still while safely seated. He can move the trolley to follow the sun on the patio and it's sturdy enough to give him some support while he walks. He's looking forward to growing other vegetables in it INDOORS this winter.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
This product is perfect for someone that would benefit from being able to garden while seated. It moves freely, so it is great for use on a patio, and can be moved to follow the areas that have sun at different times of the day.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I intend to buy additional systems like this. I cannot believe how amazing it is, so easy to use. You can move it to get just the right light and the plants are thriving. I have two tomatoe plant, and some herbs growing beautifully together.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Purchased for use w/Tomato Success Kit. Extra perfect for persons with mobility issues, as easy to move and perfect height. I move it at least twice daily, and could not be happier with this purchase.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Works great to keep the Tomato plants up off the ground and away from rabbits. I have 2 of these. On one a wheel snapped off rolling it across my patio. The black insert the wheels slide into snapped at the base.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
make sure the trolley comes with the tomato success kit. [...] the kit is very heavy filled.

Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I LOVE this whole concept! I planted 2 cherry tomato plants and 1 pear tomato in it about a month ago. When I plated then the plants were about a foot tall. Now they are all HUGE! They are now a well over a foot OVER the top of the cage! The plants are beautiful and full of blosoms and I have already eaten 5 tomatoes and have 2 more turning red right now. My husband thought I was nuts when I planted those little plants in such a big pot. And he is just amazed how they are growing so quickly. So far the whole time they have been in my house. They're also infront of a huge window so they do get to enjoy the sun. Being in Wyoming we still have very cold weather. People tell me I should just leave them inside because they are doing so well. Maybe the end of June they will go outside.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
We bought this item for my Mother inlaw as she is 80+ and has a hard time gardening she is quite excited to get started as soon as the weather breaks and we can get her some plants.... We also purchased the tomato success kit to go with the trolly, this will be our first year, but will make gardening a joy for her.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I have used the tomato success kit for several years. Now the caddy brings it up to arm height -- and allows me to easily turn it for even sunshine.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I bought this trolley to raise my tomato pot out of my new puppy's reach. It does exactly what it needs to do and putting the tomato pot in was very simple. I've only had it a couple months, but so far the metal frame seems very sturdy. The wheels are made of plastic so we'll have to see whether they stand up over time.

Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I'm on the North Carolina coast and have a problem with wind. Fairly often 10-15 miles per
hour and sometimes more. With the trolley on my deck the plants were taking a beating from the first day. Finally took some ducktape and
created a band around the cage. As you can see the plants are doing fine after two weeks. Will transplant two them. Can add more tape if needed and should be no problem to remove the tape later.
Two weeks after planting

Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
it's on my patio in my condo looking over the long beach ca harbor and the queen mary ship tourist attraction.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Just planted tomatoes today, waiting for the results.
Planter is well constructed, instructios easy to follow.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Allows us to roll plants out of the west TX wind. Easy to use on the patio. Can hardly wait for the delicious tomatoes!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I bought the tomato trolley to add additional growing space in my backyard - which has a pool and not much growing space. I have 3 now and have planted peppers as well as tomatoes - you could plant any vegetable. I use the rack below to hold smaller pots in which I planted various herbs. The container above serves to help shade more sun sensitive plants and it's working out great! Plus as the sun changes year round it's quite easy to just roll the trolley to a better spot!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I just received the Organic Tomato Success Kit and the Trolley two weeks ago. [...] Planted two Early Girls and already have 8 tomato's that look perfect. We had a really good size and successful garden here in Tucson at our last house but now live on an acre in the desert so we have had to avoid the traditional garden in the ground because we have so much wildlife here. We thought we would start with one of these planters with tomato's and use the trolley to move it around. So far very pleased I move it from the porch to the yard and so far no problems, I do move it very carefully in the yard area because I don't believe it was meant for moving around on rough land it is more for the porch and it works fine on the porch area. So if all goes well in the next few weeks will be ordering a few more of the planters with the trolleys.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I bought two trolleys. Loved them so much, I ordered two more. How wonderful to raise the self watering containers to a lever where I don't have to bend down. Great for this 70 year old gardener.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I bought one last year, and I was very satisfied with it that I bought another one this year. I highly recommend this product especially to those who have arthritis of the knees. It has helped me a lot!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
It's a back and knee saver. Am glad I took the chance and bought it.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I think this product is perfect for the Success Kit. It lets me use the Kit on our balcony and I can move it around easily should we need more space (even though its not that large overall). The only Con to this product is that the wheels are very difficult to put on; the webpage should tell you that you need a "rubber mallet" as per the instructions. I don't own one, so getting the casters on has been a pain since they are a VERY tight fit. Besides those, the whole thing took 20 min to put together by myself.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Very sturdy, but hard to move. Does not roll well
over turf and casters tend to come off too easily.
Good height.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I LOVE THE FACT THAT I CAN JUST ROLL MY GARDEN INTO THE HOUSE WHEN THE WEATHER GETS BAD. IT WAS VERY EASY TO PUT TOGETHER.VERY SIMPLE FOR A SINGLE WOMEN. THANKS FOR THAT.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
We ordered this trolley as an addition to a gift sent to our elderly parents in AZ. We gave the Tomato Success Kit as a gift earlier, and wanted to make using it as easy as possible for the recipients. They are very pleased with both the kit and trolley, and will be "gardening" on their enclosed porch just as soon as the AZ summer heat abates. This trolley will allow them the freedom of placement as well as alleviating the concerns (ours and theirs) of lifting, bending over or kneeling to once again enjoy a little gardening and fresh produce.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
It's useful when I need to move the tomato plants away from the railing when the weather turns bad.
It helps with not straining my back.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I'm able to move my tomato plants as needed to get sufficient sun. Without the trolley, the container would be too heavy and unwieldy to move. It raises my container so that I can water and garden standing up.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I have knee problems so I bought the trolley to use with the tomato plant system. The trolley is great, I can move my plants around with ease, I can sit to work on my plants. Would definitely recommend to others.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
By elevating my tomato planter, it enables me to cultivate in a sitting position, which compensates for my weak legs and the arthritis in my back

Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
This is a great addition to my tomato success kit! Having it off the deck makes it easy to move to safety when storms hit, and I no longer have to bend over to tend to it. Thanks!!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
This is my second purchase
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Having arthritis hinders bending, so this elevated trolley is so helpful. The instructions do not tell on which two legs the locking casters should be placed, so be sure to decide before installing the casters.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Great for moving the plants from shade to sun, ease of operation!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I am so glad that I purchased the Tomato Success Trolley. It makes it so easy to tend to my tomato plants. I just love it!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Bought for my parents for tomato growing. They like that they can easily move plants from sunny spots onto covered patio during those GA rainstorms. Also like not having to bend down to tend plants.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Glad I bought this with tomato system.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
2 tomatos and 1 cucumber. They and just getting up to the first half of the frame. Because I can turn it around able to give the plants even sun.
So far the plants are strong and just starting to bloom.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Good product for use with the Tomato Success kit. Unfortunately, it was difficult assemble the legs/casters. The rubber mallot was not enough. I needed more muscles so I had to ask my husband for help.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Works perfectly with the tomato success kit
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
So easy to follow the directions and the tomatoes plants grow well. We are thinking about buy more for next year!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
The trolley provides great mobility for the tomato success kit making the weight of the soil, water & plants a non-issue should moving it be necessary. The added height also makes planting & tending to the tomato plants easy with no stress on the back of the individual. We also think that it makes the kit more attractive.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I already had the whole "tomato sucess kit" but the trolley makes is even easier to use. I look forward to many years of use!
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
The success kit is great, but three casters on the trolley broke within a week of setting trolley on deck (after I had gotten rid of the box and materials). It has become a pretty much immovable object.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Planted tomatoes and cucumbers and placed the trolleys on the deck where the deer and critters cannot reach our edibles. It's May, but we have freezing temps at night. We simply wheel them out in the daytime and back inside the house at night. We have a short growing season at 7,000 feet, the trolleys allow us to get a head start.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
So far so good. Have a feeling the trolley will start to rust. Everything else I get from here does. I do like that my husband dosen't have to bend over to take care of the tomatos.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
To assemble - 2 of the holes were not drilled out. This should not have passed your quality control.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
While assembling the casters onto the cart, one of the pastic adaptors broke. They did not offer a replacement part for the adaptor. I rigged a replacement by inserting a large washer into the bottom of a rubber chair guard, cutting a hole in the bottom of the chair guard for the caster and then putting the the whole shabang on to the leg. I can't roll the cart without lifting up on the disabled leg. I'm disappointed, this is a really good idea. It's a very convenient height, but mine is stuck in one place now, which defeats part of the purpose.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
There were only two holes for installing the tray. Managed to make it work but tray is not in very well and not sturdy.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I eager to see how it does with the weight of full grown plants but I like the fact I can move the planters. I think it will make picking tomatoes much easier.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
This is my second trolley...got one last year. Allows me to tend to my plants without killing my back and allows me to wheel it into the sun or out of the wind. Locks on casters make it safe.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Absolutely love the trollies. Don't need to bend over any more really nice when watering. Keeps the vegetables, tomato or others off the ground and away from bugs and pets. Storage rack underneath is a little flimsier than I'd like. Makes gardening much more enjoyable.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Perfect for someone who has limited mobility can still enjoy the joys of gardening.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
This Tomato Success Trolley assembles easily and makes it easy to move the Tomato Success planter all over the patio. I have a mostly shady patio, so I'm able to help my tomato plants follow the sun with the easily maneuverable casters. It also makes watering easier, since I have one of the older planters with a side opening for watering.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Solid and strong; plant grower fits in the unit like a glove, adding to solidness. Very easy to assemble, and will be easy to store, because of it;s light weight.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I tried growing tomato plants last year in some lightweight planters, but I have yet to find plants that thrive in those. I planted my tomatoes about 3 weeks ago and while I had to bring this inside during a recent frost/snow storm, it was easy to do and the plants have already doubled in size.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
growing tomatoes
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I gave this 3 stars instead of five for the following reasons: while assembling, one of the adapters for the casters broke because it did not fit properly into the bottom of the leg. Also, I have the original version of the self-watering planter, and the cover for the watering opening, which is on the side, had to be removed before the planter would fit down into the trolley. All that being said, this is a great idea and I look forward to not having to bend down to tend to my tomato plants.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
This is the best set up yet for growing patio tomatoes! Especially for those of us with bad backs.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
If you want to get an early start on your tomatoes, this allows you to roll the young seedlings indoors if the temperature drops too low. Great item. Very useful. I have two.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
At 75, I appreciate wheels and casters on everything! Makes plant mobility a reality.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
the trolley makes the kit complete, i would not have it any other way--my husband who is ill is able to look out onto the patio and enjoy the tomatoe plants --i have a bad back so the trolley makes the kit just the right height so i do not have to bend at all
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Keeps my tomatoes out of range of my dog, looks great, supports the planter and vines.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
We gave this as a gift to my father, who likes to grow tomato plants in the success kit. This cart lifts the planter up so it's at a nice height. The shelf underneath is also handy. He keeps it on his patio and can roll it out into the sun or in when it's cold. He can grow tomatoes a lot later in the season because his plants can be easily protected if a cold front rolls in. The only disappointment I had was the the metal is not wrapped sufficiently enough within the box. Some of the paint had scraped off from the pieces rubbing together during transit. Hopefully, it will not rust in those spots.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Pretty versatile for the deck, patio, any hard surface. Not sure how good on the lawn but I think it would hold up just fine. Love the added height so your little animals can't get thier paws on it. Makes it easy to change locations.

Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I use it to grow tomatoes. I was able to put a plant at each end. Its great because due to arthritis I have been unable to plant at ground level. I find it a little hard to rollwhen it's full of water. I am going to increase my gardening next year by buying another tomato sucess kit and trolley.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I use the carts to lift my garden containers off the ground. My dog likes to pee next to bushes. I didn't like the idea that he could be peeing on my peppers or eggplants. These carts eliminate that concern and also allow me to easily place my containers in areas that are best suited for the plants. I can also move them easily when I'm cutting the grass.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
Now that my tomatoe plants are eye level it is so much easier to see all the tomatoes in the center of the plants. I sent one to my 90 year old father and he really loves how easy it is to use and see.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
When late season frosts were predicted, this trolley made it easy to just roll the plants indoors until the temperature rose. Great for patio plants/tomatos.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I am not so young as I'd like to be, so the idea of not stooping over to gather tomatoes is brilliant! And I can easily turn it for sun on the other side
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
This makes the tomato success kit very portable and gives you storage underneath for the watering can. It also lifts your plants so you don't have to bend over. Best investment i made this year.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
The tomato plants are growing rapidly without much attention. It looks great on our deck. Now we are just waiting for our garden tomatoes.
Comments about Tomato Success Trolley:
I can sit in a chair and watch my vegetables as they grow!
