GreenStalk Inventor's Daughter here! It was so great to have you visit last month! You grow so well in our inventions and we're excited to see what else you grow in the future. Thank you for making the trip all the way from Colorado to Tennessee. It was an honor to meet you and learn more about you, your channel and your passion for helping gardeners grow! -ashley
@Ashley Christina thank you for sending Greenstalks to do many in the UA-cam gardening community. Seeing it used so many different ways helps me learn what works and doesn't, and what works in my climate.
My family is from mountain city. I love Tennessee. I'm a proud owner of 2 greenstalks and I'm sure there will be more in my future.
I love my three GreenStalks and ♥️ supporting a USA family run company. I’ve always had excellent experiences with your company and am always spreading my love of your products with others. Excited to use my new spinners this year!😘
A great product and it is amazing how much equipment is required just to make a dye in order to injection mold the pieces. Awesome visit and nice to see its family-run Scott
I love how he explained the color challenges. Maybe they could do a preorder in November for a mother's day special shopping in the future.
I worked at a string factory in my younger days making fiber for everything from dental floss and back pack material to vehicle carpet. It's not just the lightness and darkenss of a color, but they yellow, red and purple hues that show through. There are so many hues that must be managed when extruding plastic. It must be very difficult to extrude pieces from different lots of pellets and make them match at the end.
Love the greenstalks I have 4 so far, this is my third year planting in them
It’s great to see a Tennessee business supported by so many gardeners!
Just got one. I knew I was supporting local business in Tennessee. It's a great product. Fuel prices do cause alot of things to cost more, but it also makes things like injected molded plastics from overseas less economical (because of their bulk) so more and more of that is being done back home.
Great video; thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Scott, for this great video. You had to put a lot of personal time and effort into making this trip. I was an engineer and eventually a manufacturing and operations manager and have spent many hours managing injection molding product development and production. This was a great tour for those who have not been exposed to mold design and fabrication. Molding machines of the tonnage needed for their products are very expensive and it is much smarter for them to use a molder (and their assets) to produce their parts. This is just a great story of a great family business-- the kind of business I like patronize.
Thanks, Bud!
Fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing this. It’s like being there.
I started accumulating them and now have 5! We are renting so I have to keep things mobile. I grew everything from greens and herbs, to tomatoes, peppers, okra, and cucumbers! I just kept planting in them. Of course they aren't quite as productive as they would be in more soil, but everything I put in the towers gave me food!
Hope you do more of these kind of videos Gardner Scott. Great stuff. Thanks.
Very cool! I would love to have one of these but I need to save up for it.
Enjoyed the video and am impressed by the company. I ordered a GreenStalk system through your link last Sunday and it arrived today! 😳 In the current climate of delays and extended shipping times, it is amazing! Now I’m waiting for the weather to warm up so I can get my hands in the dirt! 🌱 Great American company with old fashioned family values and so glad you’ve highlighted it. 👍🏼
I own 4..best decision
I would really love a HANGING green stalk. For those of us who don’t have the ground space for one, having a three tiered unit hanging from an awning would be a dream come true.
I bought my very first greenstalk leaf 7-tier at their Valentine's Day sale, bought it in Terracotta. I am so tempted to buy the beautiful green color original. Still working on convincing myself. Cost adds up esp since you HAVE to buy the mover too. But I absolutely LOVE it!
I have two. Love them. Want more! Blessings!
Looks like you had a fabulous tour and visit to the family run Greenstalk company.Thank You for making the trip so we can also see how they are made. Its interesting to see all that goes into the making of these. I dont have one "yet" but its going to happen.
I had no idea it was in knoxville, I live in a city over from it, closer to sevierville! Hope you enjoyed tennessee ❤
Thank you
Thanks so much for doing this and sharing with us. I love my Greenstalk planter.
I have two as well and love them. They have great customer service and truly care!
You talked me right into a second one. On sale and your discount make it even better.
I have beige and red. Love them.
Thank you so much Gardener Scott! I love this. I am putting up my very first GreenStalk tower this weekend, the Leaf tower, which I bought on their Valentines Day Sale. I bought the green which I LOVE! When I buy pots or any accessories for my garden, I always buy green or blue! (And shades of blue are even my first choice of flowers.) I bought 10 fifteen gallon grow bags to grow potatoes this year, and chose 5 blue and 5 green. So, while planning this all out this week in my backyard, I thought, I could really use two more GreenStalk Towers. I came inside that evening and checked my email, and had one from GreenStalk announcing their St. Patrick’s Day Sale (which is also my birthday). I immediately ordered the bundle with the Original and another Leaf, and I even got a set of green supports for 25% off! I am so excited. If they ever do blue, I will be buying more! I really like supporting this Made In The USA family business! Thank you for telling me about them. It’s good, reliable UA-cam gardeners like you, Jess at Roots & Refuge, and Gary at The Rusted Garden which to.d me about GreenStalk and helped me feel safe in purchasing. God bless!
BTW-My two new GreenStalks were ordered on Tuesday night and they were delivered Friday afternoon in Independence, Missouri! Amazing !
Very interesting to see behind the scenes. Thanks.
I just ordered my first two last night! I’ll have to wait on the spinner/roller base, but do plan on getting them eventually. I am excited with the variety of plants that I will able to grow in these.
That was a great tour! It is always interesting to me to see how things are made. Enjoyed and thake care!
These are great! I have three Greenstalk planters now, 1 original in stone, 1 leaf in terra cotta, and the inventors bundle in the newest color evergreen.
If color matching is a problem, I would be willing to take mismatched items. I'm less about decoration and more about growing.
Great idea for them to throw bundles of mismatched items together for a reduced cost!
Every year or two, we run a sale for this very reason! Our email subscribers are the first to know. You can sign up in Scott's link in the description. Happy Gardening! -ashley
@@ashleychristina4626 Another idea to think about is producing a marbling pattern. It would be a mixture of pellets and produce a swirl like pattern like the kayak industry markets. This could reduce the number of color defective rejects, since the colors run together anyway.
@@williamkennedy6423 that's a great idea to reduce waste!
I have two - lime green and dark brown. Love them. Hoping to have better luck this year as I didn't start earl enough last year. Strawberries should do really well this year in the lime green container. Will do greens in teh brown one. Wish there was the red one still. Must have missed that by a year or two. Great company and product. Thank you.
Fascinating! Thank you. I hope to get one of these soon. I'm looking for an alternative to my tower gardens.
That was an interesting trip, thank you! It's always good to see how things work or are done ans this family is so nice.
Their system is so great, so much space for plants on such a little spot. I could imagine a rainbow coloured 7 layer or with several shades of one colour from darker downside to lighter upside. That would be nice. Usually i feel attracted by nice colours. I have several colourful pots and containers on my balcony. 😊 So it never looks totally drearily on grey November days. 😉
Here in Germany, i haven't seen the GreenStalk so far. I just bought a not so smart little tower with 4 layers. I guess i will try some potatoes, bushbeans, salads, and strawberries, maybe a little tomato on the top, to see how it works, before i make a higher tower. 😉
Great tour! Sounds like a great company and family! I’m seriously considering one of these.
I have 2 and bought one for my daughter in law.
Red is my favorite and now I'm going to add green this week hopefully. I do prefer the original size for versatility but I'm going to order two with some leaf a d some original.
Scott - That was fascinating! Thank you!
Happy St. Patrick’s day. Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 3/17/2022
Got my 2nd one today, the green classic one to go with my red One.
Thank you very much. This was very enlightening. I stay in South Africa and have not seen a similar product. I have seem a product that is basically a huge drum with slits cut and then bent into a pocket. Might I add at an unaffordable price for a retired person.
I have the dark chocolate and the TRG red!! will experiment more this year!
Love this video! Behind the scenes is always fun to see.
Too funny, I was just thinking earlier today that if they ever offer the GreenStalk in blue, I’m DEFINITELY going to need one! (I just planted up my Stone colored GreenStalk that my husband gave me for Christmas. It looks lonely out there on the patio… Needs a few friends!) 👩🏻🌾
Thanks for the shoutout on the sale for St Patty’s Day! Got a vertical planter to create a strawberry tower for my son. He loves loves strawberries and I’m hoping this will make him super excited about gardening.
Oh! Also so cool that they’re in E Tennessee where I am too! Love to support goods made in the US and local!
I really want a royal blue.
❤
Great video I love my 2 planters. One of them is red! I'm curious what the mother's day special might be.
Absolutely fascinating Gardner Scott. I bought one last fall after watching one of you videos. I live here in Michigan so I am waiting patiently for spring to arrive. I was wondering if you have tried growing green bush beans in them? That kind of is my plan. Thanks again for all your great knowledge, I certainly learn so much from your programs.
Thanks. I've grown vining beans but not the bush variety yet.
My bush beans did well & I’ll be planting them again this year.
I'm almost ashamed to say I can't afford it because I would love to order one. Anyway I wish them to have a successfull and long continuity (if you can say that in english) :)
👍👍👍👍👍
Do one in camo ?
Purple!
What about a special edition for breast cancer survivors. Could people pre order
I ordered my first one the other day, but the credit card charge is still pending. I want to initially cram it full of food, but as time goes on I am very interested in making it pretty. Maybe herbs and flowers?
I do a lot of herbs and salad crops. I have friend who uses it for flowers.
Hi I apologize for asking on this video feed but can someone tell me which video is the Bakercreek Visit by Gardener Scott? He asked us to give our questions and I wanted to relisten to the video. Thanks all!
I haven't released that video yet. It's coming soon.
Heeeelp…I have a question on a different topic…..I want to grow StoneWall Cucumbers this year….BUT…I don’t have the room to grow the recommended number to ensure included pollination variety is present. Will the smaller pickling variety like National Pickling serve as a Pollinator for the larger Slicing Variety Stonewall???
Yes, different varieties of cucumber can pollinate each other.
Thanks
I would love to have GreenStalk, but it's not possible in Europe to find and to buy in US it's too expensive.
I just put mine together yesterday. Mines a bit wobbly, will the tiers stabilize when putting dirt in? I thought the tiers would lock/click into place like the top water tier audibly clicked in. As it slightly higher on sides I worry about the water not running evenly and pooling on the lower sides.
Anyone have any help ?
The soil does help with stability. It should be level on all sides so you might want to check again that each tier has locked into the one below.
@@GardenerScott
Thank you for the reply, Yeah i fiddled with it for 20 mins trying to get it less wobbly. I guess we shall see when I put the dirt in. I am in zone 5 as well and will be filling mine up and sowing cold hardy crops tomorrow. Thank you for all the informative videos that delve into more than the “common knowledge” such as the chart recently that showed germination rates versus soil temperature, that was VERY interesting and now I am better able to choose temps on my heat mat better. Keep dropping those gems!
Right now some guy in China is like "Thats how they make it"
What is the difference of green stalk garden and mr stackey?
The key difference is how they water plants. GreenStalk uses an internal reservoir system; you add water to the top and it drains to a reservoir at each tier and promotes even watering for each level. Mr Stacky has drainage holes in each tier that drain into the one below; there is greater likelihood of uneven watering because the bottom level is only watered after water has drained from the top tier.
I was interested to buy the Greenstalk a year ago, unfortunetly they don't deliver to Canada. I was very disappointed.
They do deliver to Canada but shipping is very expensive. I got mine shipped to Calgary last fall
Thanks for the information.
Thanks for the information.
I can't fine the price can u tell me the price
They vary based on size and there are sales throughout the year. You can check the prices here: lddy.no/kdvq
Does anyone know where the plastic is injected? Another U.S. company, or possibly more China imports?
It's a U.S. company but I don't know the name.
This was my question too . Have to be careful that it is food grade plastic !
@@oldjesus8978 yes! We use food grade polypropylene which is also BPA and BPS free. We build the steel molds here in Knoxville, TN and the polypropylene is injected in the steel molds elsewhere in east TN. All our inventions are made in East TN 🌿 -ashley, inventor's daughter
We work with other small family owned companies here in East TN to inject our steel molds with food grade polypropylene. We even source our plastic in the US! All our inventions are made here in TN 🌿 -ashley, inventor's daughter
@@ashleychristina4626 , thanks for your reply. That sounds great ! I plan on ordering soon
