Watex Urban Farming Green Wall Kit: Product Review
This vertical garden kit from Watex lets you create a green wall in minutes (outdoors – I wouldn’t use it indoors). It’s simple to install, gives you multiple design options, and keeps plants nicely irrigated with minimal effort on your part (even through the extreme heat of a Tucson summer!).

Melnor Sunrise Morning Water Timer: Product Review
For a simple, set-it-and-forget-it timer that automatically runs every single day, this is an excellent choice. It’s easy to set up, reliable and effective. In fact, it’s the easiest-to-use timer I’ve ever used. On the other hand, if you need a more varied irrigation schedule, this wouldn’t be the choice for you. Continue Reading
Elevated Rolling U-Garden and Watering System: Product Review
Overall, this is an excellent “self-watering” elevated planter – with a few caveats. The planter itself looks great, is mobile and holds up well. I like that it’s made with cedar that’s certified by the Sustainable Forestry Initiative. Because it’s elevated, there’s no need to bend when tending your plants – perfect for those with mobility or back issues. Assembly is a little tricky and the optional watering system has some drawbacks but by adding Continue Reading

After 3 years of continuous use, I can't say enough good things about the GreenStalk planter! It's a nice solution to a common problem – effectively and efficiently growing plants in a small space. It’s well-designed, easy to use, allows you to grow a huge number of plants in a very small area, and keeps those plants evenly watered. And with the optional Mover, it can be easily turned or moved as needed. Continue Reading
