This metal plant her box with a trellis is a great addition to my balcony garden. I was looking for a planter box or an elevated planter box for my balcony with a trellis to grow peas various lettuce, and spinach’s, herbs, and some other plants. I needed to have a vertical planter because my balcony is so small and the amount of sun I get is quite limited. Only about half my balcony receives 3 to 4 hours of sun per day. The planter was pretty easy to put together. I definitely recommend two people put it together. I did put it together by myself, though as a 38-year-old woman. It is very sturdy and heavy. And once you put dirt in the bottom, it’s not going anywhere. I worried about the steadiness of the trellis and holding various hanging planters. There were no issues there. Even with the hanging planters, the trellis is super steady. I am excited to see how everything grows. It took about three bags of potting mix on top of one layer of cardboard and a layer of sticks, pinecones and mulch. I also added mushroom compost and a garden tone to the box. To fill it probably cost me $40. This is a really great value, especially for the beginning, Gardner trying to grow a lot in a small space.
