Thank you all SO much for believing in our farm & our channel. You guys bring so much joy to me!
Tip from a former Dollar Tree employee... IF you order them (a whole case) and have them sent to the store nearest you, you won't pay shipping and handling.
Thanks for sharing the info
How many in a case? I wonder.
That is absolutely awesome 👏 thing to know !!! Yay 😀
@@jaycee-ess774 I'm not sure how many per case but it should say on their website when you place an order.
Looks like you have to buy 24 at the minimum. That said, I don’t see them on the website. 😭
I added a $10 lazy Susan from Amazon underneath my dollar store planter and it works great! Bought another one this year!
Thats awesome..Thank you.
Thanks , was wondering where I could buy one .
😮 good idea. I hot glue a wheeled plant tray on the bottom of my stack so I could turn it. Limited mobility with my health so I had to come up with something.
I got some at Walmart.
Always line the bottom of your pots with coffee filters. Hold the dirt and takes a long time to break down.
"I love the smell of soil"...says every gardener, every year. I felt that so deeply.
I thought I was the only one. I love it too after it rains.
What you're actually smelling is a compound called geosmin and it is produced from streptomycles bacteria. I believe it's microbiology deficiency and us gardeners we have supplemented our microbiome so much that we know when we smell something that we need more of in the world.
Yes! I do too and when I day it around my husband he looks at me as if I have a3 heads. Lol
Petrichor - the smell of dust after rain. Spirophyll - the smell of sun-warmed leaves.
I love words
There is a Mycobacterium in soil that actually causes the release of serotonin and may be the cause of "gardeners high"
Here me out. A 3 tier one with a lettuce mix with on your outdoor summer table for quick salads 😶
I love that idea, thanks for sharing ❤
I love the idea, now to get an outdoor table 😊
I saw LifewithLindthom use these. She drilled a hole in the middle and ran them thru a green plant stake that was anchored in the ground. That kept it from toppling over as you worked in it or on windy day. Hope that helps. Always enjoy your smiling face, optimistic attitude, and free spirit. 👩🌾🥕🥦🥒🌽🍅
Great idea, thanks for sharing ❤
Love the idea of letting my 2 year old have full reign of one of these to garden to her heart's delight. Or to fill with flowers all over the garden!
Great idea for the kids, hope it turns out well
I got some from the dollar store too! I’m doing 100 strawberry plants in towers cause we can’t afford greenstalks. (Yet- should God steward out finances that way) Many blessings & great video. ❤️🌱🍓😊🙏🏻
Just ordered a case of 36 to be sent to my local Dollar Tree. Never have enough and can Bless a friend who gardens. Thanks for the info.
Thank you!
These are awesome to start a patio/desk garden. I wish these would have been available when my dad was alive and in a wheelchair.
I have 8!! These are going to be my herb gardens! 4 and 4! Any higher they will be unstable... these will last 2 or 3 seasons for the avg season...cheap lazy Susan from dollar tree too! Would be 2 round pizza pans with marbles in between the 2 pans! Works as a ball bearings!
I got these last year for my herbs. I had them on my deck in the sun and they dried out so fast. I was watering twice a day and on really hot days they still dried out. I had one of flowers in morning sun and that one only had to be watered once a day
@@Smacsek Perhaps a child's umbrella or a decorative one beside the planter will give enough shade to the planter when it's too hot & sunny.
I picked these up last year and couldn't believe how great of a find they were! Last year I planted herbs in them and (ironically enough) I just put some strawberry runners in them minutes before you posted this video! 😄 Thanks for sharing the simple, cheap, and easy options too!
Nice!!
Good to hear they work
I have two with strawberries.
If you can not find at local store Dollar Tree is online and they have them online by the case and the case has 36 in them the three colors she talks about are available praise God be blessed 0:)
I did this!!! I’m so glad you shared this for all us folks who can’t budget $150! Lol 😂
I love this idea. I was in a wheelchair and on crutches and this was how I gardened las year.
I ordered a case of 36 these a couple days ago! My plan is to drill holes through the bottoms and leave the top one empty, to create kind of a self watering tower system. Also going to put on a heavy duty tray with wheels. I’m so excited! Still not sure what I’m planting in them yet lol ❤️
Oh dang! Didn’t realize the bottoms pop off! Less work for me lol 🙌🏻😂
Made in CHINA. Support american made
Will do Darlene 😑😑😑
@@darleneclark6098 buy what you need and can afford...support your family and have fun.
@@darleneclark6098 actually mine were made in Guana...when I peeled the "made in Chin"a sticker off "made in Guana" is molded into the plastic right under it.
As I read the comment's, it's so beautiful to people wanting to buy these planters so they can give to others. Blessings.
I have these and you may want to keep in mind that the plastic is extremely flimsy so I wouldn't stack them as high as you are showing, they WILL fall apart...They are great for the price, tho.
Thank you
Or somehow make a plywood base to attach to each layer 😁
Got my coffee, sat down and yay! 55seconds ago you posted. Win Win!! Thank-you for the Fantastic idea. I sadly have to sell my home. (unemployed for a yr) I've learned so much about seed saving from you and Jess, I was super excited for Spring and planting. Moving, all those plans have to change. This idea will allow me to still have my hands in the dirt and grow inexpensively. Love ya lots!!
So sorry to hear about your home. God has you in the palm of His hand.
I found these 3 days ago by accident at the Dollar Store when I went in there looking for something else. I am excited to get these going, but first I need to plan what I am going to put into them and decide how high I am going to stack them.
That’s great. I hope you have a successful growing season
One hack for watering is to drill holes in a piece of PVC, for drip watering. Drill holes in each layer to put the PVC pipe through. The PVC also helps stabilize the stack. Still, put plants that require less water at the top, and those that can handle more on the bottom.
Great advice, thanks for sharing
Hail to the red solo cups! 😁
I got mine last year and planted strawberries in them and they did really well. I love them. I may have to go get more.
I would leave the bottom on over the water drain holes, excess water will end up running off around it and that little bit of a lip will hold some water to keep them from drying out as quick when it is really hot outside. I just ordered a case of them to be delivered, shipping wasn’t awful at all $8. I think they will be great for herbs, lettuce etc. I think if people are gentle with them they will last and work perfectly well. I have seen them talked about for a while, but no one shared a really good pic to see size. I didn’t even think to look online for size until today, they are 14X14X5. So glad you got some and showed them. Thanks.
I paused this video at 2:25 and went and asked my mom if she wanted to go check the store in town for these and they didn’t have much left so I snagged them
When I came back and unpaused it you said “I would highly encourage you after this video...” and I went OPE 👁👄👁 😂😂 I love your channel, it makes me feel so at peace and I cannot wait for the upcoming growing season!! I’m wiggling in my seat with excitement!!
Order on line from dollar tree and have it delivered to your store.
They sell them on their website, too. They come in a 36 pack - so maybe go in with a friend or two?
I talked to an employee at a dollar tree and she said you can order a pack and then return the ones you don’t use to the store! Such a helpful tip. Hope it helps 💚
I went on the website and bought a case because I think it would be a fun sneaky gift for a few of my neighbors. One in particular who said she wanted a porch herb garden. Can’t wait!
@@theallenshire268 I love that idea! 😍
@@theallenshire268 yes!
That's awesome!
@@4beefarm265 just know they cant give you money back. Just exchanges.
Hiya Jill. What a cool idea. Way to go !
I like that you have power and motivation to continue your channel even through this pandemic 👍 appreciate it
I made 2 stacks (9 total) and planted strawberries in them. My husband drilled a hole through the middle and put a metal post in the ground to secure them.
I most certainly would love the better planter but as you said I'm starting right where I'm at. :-) I love your channel and appreciate you.
Aldi's often carries a 3 tier system that are bigger and of heavier grade plastic for only about $12/set. I bought 2 and have a 6-tier tower for $25 but is much sturdier and a bit roomier for larger plants.
Thanks for sharing
That is absolutely awesome 👏 3 pots that are stackable. Great place for herbs. Strawberries 🍓 would be perfect for those pots!
Thanks for this- I have one of these and often feel the guilt that I didn't get the good one. Also, thanks so much for showing that you can pop the bottoms off. Always love your channel- you give off good vibes
I absolutely love your enthusiasm. I find myself grinning right along with you.
I'm so glad!
Dollar Tree has some wonderful deals on things like plant hangers, plant clips, seeds, cloches, cocoa fiber pot liners, bottom watering pots with built in trays and these stackable planters. I really love popping in to see what else they have.
Yes they do, thanks for sharing
these are perfect for my littles (3 and 6) to throw soil around in, and easily start some herbs, it's fun for them to water with a watering can
I bought 2 of these last year. I have them sitting on a set of shelves in my container garden. To make watering them easier, I put an empty nursery pot in the center & soil in the 3 compartments. Once stacked, there is just enough space to fill up the nursery pot with water (either with a watering can, or spraying the side of the container above & letting it waterfall into the pot below) & let it water them from the bottom up. In case anyone is wondering, the soil absorbed the water just fine this way. I'm hoping to get more this year, but these sell really quickly in my area. I almost didn't get ahold of the 2 that I have.
Great advice, thanks for sharing
You can order from Dollar Tree online and they'll ship them free to the Dollar Tree nearest you. It's $36. per case of 36.
@ Diana Garren I did see that in other comments. I'm not sure I have a need for quite that many though. We have a pretty small yard. Hopefully, when the day comes that we move, our next yard is bigger & I can have more garden space. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Yes these ones can't wait, mine are blue and grey 😉👍thank you Jill 🌹💕
I got a set of three for both of my kiddos and 2 for myself! I'm so excited! Thanks for the tip!
I bought the case online and had it delivered to the store and picked it up in my plan is to give several of them away... so I am sharing the love and the education that goes with it! Thank you for this wonderful tip
I have one of these and two nights ago there was a mama deer and tiny fawn munching on the bok choy and strawberries. Just adorable.
My son is just starting his way into Gardening, hopes of doing regenerative farming someday, so when I saw these a few weeks ago, I bought him 6 to start this year and get his green thumb started! 🙌🏻🌱
Great idea!
I JUST PLACED A GREENSTALK ORDER! Thank you, Jill! This is an incredible sale and value (I even added the mover). Right now, I'm a townhouse homestead dreamer and I've used a number of the hacks you shared. I want to expand my growing this year and I can only "grow up" (not out, lol). I do appreciate that you shared the sale with us :).
My pleasure, happy growing this year ❤
My "One Word" for this video is:
Yay!!!!! ❤
I'm so excited and so is my mom. In fact, she stated I have to make a road trip tomorrow, pick her up, and take her along for some shopping 😊 Thanks for inspiring us both! Bless y'all!
I was so excited when you showed this! I have been looking for something inexpensive for strawberries this year. I ran right out to Dollar Tree and got 16 of them so I could have two 8-tier planters! I also got those awesome photo holders for my seeds and they work beautifully! Thank you so much for all the great tips and your wonderfully sunny personality! 🍓☀️😊
Heather Cragun- please share how strawberries did in your tower-Thanks, Joy
@@JB-pd4ni they did ok. It’s very dry here in the summer so keeping them from drying out was an issue. The planters only lasted one season due to our cold winters. It was a fun experiment though, thanks for a great idea!
I got the same ones and same color at my dollar tree last year. I bought a lot of them. U can’t bet that for $1.00 each and they stack. Every time I’ve went back I’ve look to c if they have anymore and I’ve haven’t seen any yet. Awesome video!
I have been told by several viewers that you can order them online
Jill you are amazing. You send us all so much joy and always find ways to help us garden in cheaper ways. You are such a blessing. Thank you. This is such a great way for people to get into tier gardening. I can see peoples faces now just smiling away to your idea. Such a sweet person. Have a wonderful day.
I just joined your channel and saw the planters. I had just bought 5 of these at my local Dollar Tree store. I am elderly and disabled but I can do this. Think I'm gonna love your channel. Hello from Southwest Virginia.
I stacked mine 9 high, cut holes through the center and put an in-ground pole through the center. Cut 3" sections of pool noodles to slide on the pole between each pot to stabilize the structure and conserve soil. Works much better. Don't blow or get knocked over.
I bought those last year and I love them. I'm hoping I can find more this year at my local store.
Are they still in good shape for this year?
@@WhisperingWillowFarm they look as good as new. I just got back in from Home Depot a minute ago, I had to buy a new plastic saucer for them. I have 6 of the terracotta colored ones but I want 6-12 more if I get lucky and find them again.
YAY, i went!!! they had 5 blue left, and i snatched it up. I have been the crazy gardener lady on our street. I already have 3 green stalk towers, but i'm going to share the love and give away to my neighbor, to encourage others to grow. THANK YOU JILL!!!!
I’ve been using 6 of them stacked this year. I’ve got mixed reviews. I tried strawberries in them and they are rather small for that. Only one plant has survived, but some from the same batch are flourishing in grow bags. I will try them herbs next, and hopefully they will work better.
Last week I bought 3 to do my herbs in! Now I’m going to go back & grab some for strawberries too.
I kept thinking of all the ways I could use them, lol.
This made me so happy. I bought eight of these from dollar tree and was wondering if they would work. ❤️❤️❤️
Jill thank you for sharing. I am going to our local see if we have something similar in Australia. Hardly can wait to see what are you going to grow in them.
I was wondering if there was a cheaper option, thank you! I now have 12 of these planters! Planting them inside today! We live in a tiny apartment with a small deck and I cant wait for this to save space and grow as much as possible in my tiny space.
I keep seeing videos about these. My local dollarTree does not have them. Both my kids work there, so I’ve told them to keep their eyes open for these.
I spotted some in the Family Dollar store today for the same price, if you have that store in your area.
Jill, those are terrific! I’ve never been able to get a Greenstalk Tier planter, so this is a tiny version. Love it. Thanks for sharing.🥰
I stacked them tight together and drilled a hole in the middle of them all and placed a plastic garden stake in the middle and stacked them high so they don't fall over!
Thank you for letting me know about these! I ripped up my strawberry patch that was taking up too much space in my tiny garden. It was heart breaking not to have strawberries. However this would be perfect and I can afford them.
Dollar tree is one of my favorite stores!
If you can only find potting mix add some of the crystals of cellulose( the crystals inside a diaper). They swell up 200% so only a tablespoon per pot will be plenty. Soak the crystals before adding to your potting mix.
I believe they put those in the emergency pee bags as well. Good sub in car emgx kits.
Thank you so much for sharing. My niece wants to try o learn to grow a few things on her porch so I was able to get her 9 of these and some other starter supplies as a birthday present for today☺️
So nice of you. I hope she learns to love growing all the things
I was a little disappointed. I went to two dollar stores and I didn't see the pots. I looked again and how them. I now have a nice addition to me 20x20 (approx) garden. Thanks so much. My new strawberries will have a nice place bordering the garden. Janice
So glad to hear. Happy gardening this year
I saw those the other day!!!! I had no idea what they did but I’m going to get some ASAP!!
To make it windproof, you could drill out a hole in the middle of each one. Pound a section of rebar or a t post in the ground. Then slip each section down the post.
Great idea
I had picked up 3 of those planters, but now that I've seen your ideas with them, I have more confidence to try planting in them this year. Thank you!
I have a stack of 10 in my garden. Got my husband to drill holes in the middle and stacked then with a peice of rebar so they dont come a part
good advice
Thanks for being honest..I can't buy a fancy holder right now and I just bought 12..
I will have to order some of these. I haven't seen any of these in Houston, TX. These are so cool for gardening. Thanks for sharing.
You are such a ray of sunshine. I just ran across your channel. I'm not new to gardening. But I'm looking forward to viewing your videos. New subscriber
Thanks Mrs. Gail for following our journey. Feel free to share any tips and advice because we are all learning things through our gardens
Yes. That's where we all go
we are looking at these to buy, as a supplement to what we have all ready, because money is tight. What I am thinking how ever, is maybe taking something and perhaps putting a hole thru the center, so they can be put on a piece of pvc pipe to give it more stability, You could probably stack more that way instead of just the three
Great idea
I just bought 6 of these off Amazon for that very reason we can't get green stalk in the uk and I have a ridiculous amount of strawberry runners to deal with on my roof garden.
Hey hey hey Jill
Tried them one summer for herbs. Great, but lots of bugs under the bottom one. Might elevate on bricks
Good advice, thanks for sharing
I ordered a case of these from the dollar tree. Going to buy a base plate for them.
Not sure the base plate will fit. I looked at them also. They are 11.25" and the tiers are 14 1/2. Planning to check them out when I pick up my case of tiers.
@@rockymeadow7311 i found some bases on amazon that will work.
I did treat myself to a greenstalk this year. I had no room for proper strawberries, but when I saw what Jess got out of hers last year, I decided driveway strawberries were happening! I saw those at Dollar Tree the other day, but ended up leaving as very long lines. I will definitely stop in tomorrow and get some for flowers in the front.
Per the " red solo cups" - I would save all of my sour cream and yogurt containers and drill some holes in bottom and use year after year ( I don't buy the single serving ones, so, these r full size and larger than necessary for just starting seeds a bit ahead, but for tomatoes and peppers are nice to have room to grow - I wasn't starting hundreds, either ! ). Now I have a soil blocker, doing ok with it.
Hi thank you for showing us this...I won a $100 gift card for a green stalk but it was only on the most expensive one that was $329...I don’t think so...😟 so I went online and ordered a case of these planters (36) and I can pick them up ten days from now....awesome.....just what I needed....😍
That's great. Can't wait to hear what you do with them
Is like you read my mind. I've been wanting to make a strawberry tower but don't have the money for a greenstalk. This is perfect! A Godsend! Thank you for sharing!
I hope you have the most beautiful and abundant strawberries this year ❤
Those are awesome
I'll have to keep an eye out for something like that! I live in Australia so can't get a greenstalk but want something for my alpine strawberries to keep them off the ground
Hello from central Arkansas. I bet you can find something similar. Happy gardening ❤
Just watched Jess's video and ordered a green stalk TODAY. lol 🙈
You will absolutely love it. Happy growing ❤
PVC pipe down the center and bury two feet of it in the ground and keep it moving. Also the saucers come off to drain freely.
I wonder if you could drill holes in the PVC pipe at the level of each container so it will water evenly you would have to plug the pipe some how so you could fill the pipe ..IDK
@@journeyoflovelight Water shed may not divert to each hole evenly. I thought of that also.
@@CoraBlu080605 Makes sense it would need a screen of some kind. Thanks
@@journeyoflovelight maybe they make end caps for the pvc pipe
Game changer! 😀 Thanks!
Excellent
I would leave the bottoms on. As excess water will still drain out. But they will dry out much faster with the bottom off. Last year I bought 60 of the plastic pots from the dollar store. And I used them to pot up my starts. Like my peppers and tomatoes. They were about 1 gal. Pots. And they had those caps on the bottom. And they still drained excess water out but also retained water to water the plants for the day in my greenhouse. Didnt dry out so fast. Just a FYI
Great, thanks for the advice ❤
Love this hack! Thanks so much Jill! 😊👍🌷
Strawberries would be awesome in those containers
I have a greenstalk and I love it. I went to my dollar tree for the past few weeks and they barely have gardening items. I was going to load up on the seeds and this year they sold out the 1st few days. I was only able to get the flower seed boxes and some gloves. Those planters were sold out as well.
🍓 🍓 🍓 strawberries, yay!!! Thank-you so much !!!✌❤🙏👵
I hope they are gone from my local store.. That means there is people that watch you around..lol Thank you for the score find!! Have a good day.- Melanie
Thank you so much for sharing all about this wonderful little planner. I do have a couple that were gift to me so it was something that I didn’t have to buy now I haven’t planted any food items in there but I do plant flowers in it and it does very well I don’t really feel too good about doing plastic but I realize that the green socks are made out of plastic but they say their food grade plastic so I do have three green stocks, and I love them and I do grow vegetables and flowers in them they do really well thank you so much for all your great support and giving great garden tips I only have my little thing, three high and even if I bought more, I would probably still just make them three hot I’d be afraid of them getting tipped over from all the wind we get a lot of wind here. Surprisingly, even with all the when we get here, my green stock has never fallen over. I am so surprised cause we get Wind, strong enough to knock over my patio furniture. Usually I just lay my chairs on their side until we’re done with the wind storm.
So glad you found it helpful
Nice for growing herbs 🌿
You popped up as a suggestion for the first time in my feed. I liked it! I’ll see if dollar tree around here has them!
If your dollar tree doesn’t have them check family dollar and dollar general they are $1 there too
Great idea, Jill! I just ordered my first greenstalk yesterday, but will have to try this hack too!
This is providential! Thank you for posting this. Just last night I was hoping to find a hack for creating a tower garden!! Thank you so much!
Dollar tree has some amazing garden products! I featured these on a short...I bought 15! They also have the plate/base with wheels! Look for them the next time you go!
I’ve been to 2 local dollar trees and they were both sold out of these. Will keep searching. May order online 🤔
So cool and what a great inexpensive gift to give to your friends and spread the love of growing!
Absolutely!
