GreenStalk now recommends to keep watering until water comes out of the tube in the bottom which is more water than the marks in the top.
Is this done multiple times? The pockets don't seem very moist when you fill it once.
I water the pockets a little too especially if starting from seed
Great video! I just bought a greenstalk planter just to grow lettuce in. We moved from the city and now live on over 17 acres and I still love to grow things in containers! I currently have 18 raised beds and my neighbors grow in the ground but my garden is healthier and weed free. I still believe containers and raised beds are always better for plants ❤ Keep making great videos like this one and you’ll be at 100k subscribers soon enough. God bless 😉
Thank you!!!
I LOVE that you are encouraging people to grow even when space is limited! And, you’re teaching how to do it!
Thank you!! 💚🥰
Thank you for your hurricane 🌀 tip! I was just gifted 2 Greenstalks for Mother's Day and now I know what to do during Hurricane Season here in FL!
Thank you for all the practical information on gardening with a GreenStalk! What a pleasure to see such well-maintained planters, thriving, and vibrant with plants as yours are. I especially appreciate your comments about soil. I just got a GreenStalk and will be setting it up this weekend, so I’ve been watching a fair amount of videos and yours was the most helpful!
Thank you so much!!! Wishing you best of luck with yours 💚 Where are you gardening at?
@@MarisGardenandKitchen Western Maryland - the opposite of urban, lol. Zone 6b. I love the idea of having so much abundance close to my kitchen door - and somewhat less accessible to our local groundhogs.
Great advice, very thorough, thank you Mari! My GreenStalk is supposed to get delivered today and I’m even more excited now that I saw your video!
Yay!!! I’m so excited for you. Wishing you many abundant harvests 💚 What are you planning to grow?
Reflective film on the fence behind the tower would also help with sunlight distribution
That’s a great idea!
Is there a different fertilizer you would recommend? I’m vegan and not a fan of the fish one, just wondering 🌸🌈✨
Yes, Thats a great question. I like using seaweed fertilizers too. Mycorrhizae tea works great too, I heard. I’ll have to research more and let you know! Thank you for bringing that up to my attention 💚
@@MarisGardenandKitchen thank you 🌿
Fantastic! Mine just arrived & now I know exactly how to assemble & use it . Thank you Mari!
Wow, this video is packed with great information on the Green Stalk Vertical Planters and had the most helpful tips and planting concerns for their use. Outstanding, and all based on the actual experience using them. I am starting with the Leaf (shorter pocket) version but see where the Original (deep pocket) may be in my future too. The selling point to me is her visual proof of less insect damage and the fact she is not using insecticides to achieve those results. The weather is almost ready to start and I have mine set up, watered and just waiting for last frost date in my area a month away….. Great informative video that sold me on trying one 2023.
Thanks for the review. I live a couple hours north of NYC. Garden Stalk reviewers I have come across have been overwhelmingly warm climate growers. You are the first cold climate grower using this system I have come across. What are your thoughts on the green stalks durability and ability to withstand our cold climate?
Hi Nikki, thank you for the comment. I leave mine outside during the winter and so far so good! They are doing well this winter too. Last year I was able to overwinter some lettuce and kale on them with little protection but this year with the cold snap we had during Christmas I didn’t have the same luck :/ But they have a 5 year warranty too if you notice and discoloring or weathering etc.
Great to know! My main concern was how they might hold up to our weather conditions- particularly the plastic.
I love this! thanks for posting.
You’re very welcome!! Thank you for watching ☺️
Urban gardens are so cool. Thanks for sharing.
Love how you show how the watering process goes!!! I'm considering getting one of these. Never had a container garden before. I would use organic fertilizer also.
Glad it was helpful! If you decide to get one, I’m wishing you best luck with yours 💚 May you get many great harvests!
I just bought one! The original. Can’t wait to try it!!!
Yay!! I hope you have a great growing season and lots of abundance on it ☺️🙌🏽
Do you plant anything from seed like bush beans or bok choy or lettuces?
Hi Susan, I always direct seed bush beans, squash, peas, carrots etc. For lettuce, bok choy and greens I prefer to start the seeds in cells then transplant them at seedling stage. But I’ve seen many people that have success direct seeding those too!
@@MarisGardenandKitchen Great video
Excellent review! I really want one now lol
I just received my leaf green stalk and was very excited to actually get to see your planter up by your door as it was filled with everything I want to plant. How very healthy all your plants looked, which was encouraging to me. Absolutely loved this video and so happy you are so passionate about encouraging others to grow some food, even when living in the city. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank you!! Wishing the best of luck to you with yours 💚
Very well explained thank you for your time…stay blessed
I am extremely excited that I found your channel. My back yard is very small and I always wanted to start growing my own veggies.
Thank you! I have a lot of videos documenting my journey here :)
Thankyou How do you grow in the winter months? We are unable to get the greenstalk in our country.
I actually take a break from gardening in the winter then start again in the spring. I just keep the planters outside and they do just fine in my area

@@MarisGardenandKitchen how many months do you take break? And which month would you start the seeding? Thanks for all the great info
@manishapaladugu7280 you have to look up online for your area that you love. It all depends on what gardening zone your in
Best video I have seen on the Green Stalk, thank you!

This is an excellent video! Thanks for sharing your experience and tips. ❤🌿
You’re very welcome!! I’m glad it was helpful ☺️
Hi Mari! Your video was recommended as I've been watching videos about GreenStalk planters, after just receiving my first one, and I wanted to thank you so much for the amount of details you provided. Your video was the best overall video that I have seen about these planters, and you provided several great tips that I have not seen elsewhere.
Thank you again and I'm looking forward to checking out your other videos!
Thank you so much for the comment! I’m really happy to hear it was helpful. Wishing you best of luck with yours this year too! ☺️🌱
I notice that you do not have any mulch (like straw) on the top of the potting mix in your GreenStalk planter. Is it not needed?
No, the plants usually get big enough to shade the soil and I have never really added mulch
Great video! Thank you for all of the tips, tricks, and tour of your greenstalk planters. Just subscribed:). I already ordered my greenstalk but I will definitely be watching all of your videos to learn as much as I can. Continue to stay safe, healthy, and blessed!
Thank you so much!! Wishing the same to you 💚
@@MarisGardenandKitchen Thank you💚
I have been wanting 2 of those. Great space savers, I think.
Yes! They help me so much space!! 🥰
Love this video, Mari! One of the best I’ve seen. Hoping to get my own green stalk this year.
Thank you so much!!! 💚
my two short ones will arrive today! i have been unsuccessful with other stack pots, so this is more hopeful. thank you for very excellent instructional video!!!
You’re very welcome!!! Wish you best of luck with yours 💚
Thanks for the great information, and your garden looks amazing!❤🥬🍅🥬
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this information. You have a lovely productive garden. I've just recently discovered the GreenStalk Planter and now waiting for a sale to make my first purchase. The points you made about how these planters help keep pests to a minimum is a good one.
Thank you!! I hope they have another sale soon ☺️💚
Lots of good information. Love the thoroughness of your video. Thanks.
Thank you!!! I’m very glad you enjoyed 💚
Very helpful video. Thank you.🌹
You are very welcome 💚
I love the look of those! So inspired 🌿
Thank you so much, Ruth! 🥰💚🌿
The ingredient in potting soil to make it lighter and maintain water is perlite and vermiculite.
Thorough video. We'll done.
Thank you!
Great information Mari, very helpful and your garden is just lovely!!
Thank you!! 💚
HI ,where do you buy contender .
I bought from the greenstalk garden website. I have a discount code if you’re interested! I think they’re having a sale now with one of the colors
Thank you for sharing ❤️
You’re very welcome!! Thank you for watching 🧡
Great video.
Thank you!
💓💓💓
what a nice urban garden!🌱
Thank you so much!!! 🥰🥰🥰
Looks like you can really get a lot out of those vertical planters
Yes!! They are really great for small spaces :)
With the soil you first said to use potting mix. Your bag said potting soil. Is that the same as potting mix? Thank you ❤
It’s the same thing :)
@@MarisGardenandKitchen Thank you 💜
Hi there, Mari! I've been searching for more efficient planters for limited home gardening space. I settled on the vertical Greenstalk 5-Tier months ago but couldn't find much more information than the price. I am SO glad you made this video. It's been very helpful and now, I'd like to get one or two of them. My only question is regarding transportation and/or shipping. Can the entire 5-tier unit be carried by hand? What size is the box that it comes in?
Succession planting in greenstalks . . . that is inspiring!
Yes! I try to maximize my planting space and time as much as I can 💚🌱
One video I watched suggested putting copper tape around the very bottom ring to deter slugs.
Why not just add vermiculite to your potting soil?
I guess you could do that do, but I myself never tried. As long as you improve the drainage, that should be good I think
I just did what GreenStalk recommends
Thanks for your videos that draw attention to the things going on in our world today pertaining to survival in our everyday living! Education is priceless but not everyone is educated. Always look forward to your videos! 😊❤👍
I just ordered my first GREEN STALK 😃
Loved your video 🙏♥️💕
New subbie..💐🌈💐
Like another viewer “said” ..you will be at 100K in jigs time if you keep up these informative videos❣️❣️❣️
Thank you ….and Hugs from NL 🇨🇦
Happy gardening
Thank you so much!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡
Absolutely space saving 👌 👌👌🤗
Yes!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Excellent.
Thank you!
Incrivelmente prático!
Sim, muito!! :)
Love it!! ❤️
Thank you!!! 💚
I want to try one, but I'm torn over the leaf and the original. I want to grow strawberries, but I am leaning toward the original, regardless. What would you suggest?
I started with the two originals first, then I got the leaf planter. I love my leaf planter, but If you are only going to have one, the original is good because allows you to plant more things in the future. The planters last for a while if you take good care of them.
How about using small bungee cords hooked on the chain link fencing when worried about storms? Could add a couple at different levels for if desired. I have 4 new ones still in the boxes. Can't wait to try them out in a few weeks. Thanks for your insightful video.
That’s a good idea! I have thought about it and should definitely try this season. Glad you enjoyed the video!! Wishing you an amazing growing season 💚
I LOVE THE COLOURSS❤❤
Amazing garden 👌
Thank you!!! 💚
I loved Happy Frog soil! It was one that I used to use faithfully, unfortunately it is far too expensive these days for anyone on a strict budget... I'm still trying to find an appropriate alternative. I was gifted 2 green stalks last year but couldn't afford to fill them. This year I should be able to if I can find a reasonable soil.
Yes, they are definitely getting pricey 😢
@@MarisGardenandKitchen LOL, NO, They are already very over priced. But the rest of the tips are very helpful, Thank you and happy planting🙂
Just came across your channel. I follow farmgirl and she also highly recommends these planters. New subscriber because I love they way you share information. I am a native New Yorker and I know the struggle of trying to grow with a short growing season. I have come down to FL and these planters will be great for me with a year round season. And I don’t need to bend as much. Nor do I need to grow for a big family anymore. Going to look for your other videos. Your plants look amazing. And your yard reminds me of the one I had in upstate NY with all the different containers.
Thank you so much!! Glad to have you here ☺️
