Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: recall Comment: I bought this on qvc and was later called and told that there was a re-call as it would fall over. My husband put the pole in an old flag pole hole and it works. Would check re-call out as they say it falls over.
Carol R Customer Rating: Summary: Needs work Comment: This product was really disappointing for the price. It was not easy to put together and I thought the construction was really "chintzy". My tomatoes seem to be surviving in spite of this tomato tree so we'll see what the season beholds. Also, it is too tall for the average person to water after it is set up. Customer Rating: Summary: Did not work. Comment: I planted hot peppers in this, with fertilizer and watering regularly... the peppers that normally reach 3 or 4 inches were not even an inch long when they ripened. Not enough root space. Don't even get me started on the topsy turvey... let's just say plastic bags promote mold! Customer Rating: Summary: Tried it last year, not impressed Comment: I tried it last year on my deck. It has holes for three plants. I tried a regular-sized tomato, a cherry tomato, and a green pepper. The cherry tomato was the most successful. I got a fair number of them on a regular basis. The regular-sized tomato plant didn't yield much, and the tomatoes were under-sized. The green pepper plant was a failure. It only yielded two peppers that were thin and somewhat mal-formed. Besides, it was a real pain to take down, especially with 30+ lbs of soil in it! We had dirt EVERYWHERE. I'm going back to a regular, self-watering pot this year. Customer Rating: Summary: save your $$$$.... Comment: First off, I'm a very experienced gardener so I thought I would give this a try. Bad decision. The vines grow upward so when the plants mature the weight just flops them over breaking them. Because you grow tomatoes in full sun, the plastic bag dries out incredibly fast and also burns the roots. I tried this two seasons and had the same poor results both years.It's a novelty idea and just doesn't work. Take my advice and save your $$$$$$$$$$$.
