Review on 12.7 Gallon Raised Garden Bed With Self Watering Planter Box And Drainage Plug - Keter Urban Bloomer Dark Grey by Veronica Wade

I bought one of these and put it on my screened in patio to grow small edible plants. Its not large enough for things like most tomatoes but for small things like herbs, it works great.Assembly was easy, anybody can put this thing together. Once assembled and stood upright, its sturdy enough to not fall over under its own weight but not sturdy enough to get bumped often. Don't put it in a traffic area and it'll be fine.The self-watering feature is awesome. It holds a lot of water and, even in the Florida summer, we can go on vacation and not have to worry about it for a week if we fill it all the way before leaving. One thing to watch is planting plants right near the end in a hot area. This enclosure conducts the sun's heat into the dirt with surprising efficiency. The result is that the soil immediately behind parts of it exposed directly to the sun heats up too much to grow anything there. Its annoying but not the end of the world.The filling spout and the float that tell the water level worked great at first but they get gummed up by soil and perlite and eventually stop working so well. You can't exactly just pull all the dirt out and clean them so you're sort of stuck with it. At least they give you some indication of where your water level is, though.I wish it were a little cheaper for what you get but it serves me well.
