    You get what you give.  Extremely durable.
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2011*

I should start out by saying that my Grow Box plants are *almost* all doing very nicely, and that I own 10 green Grow Boxes that line my front porch.That said, they're a bit of a pain in the backside to set up.  The canvas cover tends to curl up and reveal the soil underneath, and the four plastic pins that hold it down at each corner do nothing to keep the long sides flat.  They also curl up around the edges of the numbered points where you must cut it to insert the plants.  This is a purely aesthetic issue, and aside from an occasional bit of grass or weed taking up residence in the exposed soil, it doesn't seem to create a problem with water retention.Also, the performance of the plants is certainly good, but not better than a standard reservoir planter or a very similar product called the Earth Box (which I find that I prefer, in part because of the optional wheels).I use 1/4 of a Mosquito Dunk in each reservoir every month to control mosquito larvae, and it works beautifully--no wrigglers in sight.  I did not purchase the $25 tomato cage/plant support set--I thought the price was ridiculously high.  We used a much less expensive modular tomato support set purchased at the local garden center, and it's working very well for the peppers, eggplants, and tomatoes.To be fair, these are doing a great job, but so are my non-Grow Box planters.  I would only purchase more of these so that all the planters on my porch will match.  If I do another set on the patio, I will use generic reservoir planters in the size and style of my choosing.Update:  I've had my Grow Boxes for four years now, and they're in pretty darn good shape.  They're a bit sunbleached/chalky looking here and there, but not badly.  They're also perfectly intact--no cracking or leaking.  We store them outside on the covered porch rather than in the shed or basement, and they've held up to the extra exposure remarkably well.  I still don't use the covers and fertilizer that the Grow Box company sells, but I have had no problems with weeds, or water retention as long as I keep the reservoirs full and occasionally moisten the soil from above to ensure that the reservoir continues to function.One of the best things ever:  the resident blacksnake discovered the Grow Boxes and likes to use the reservoirs as a soaking spot.  (Blacksnakes are harmless, and we're used to them here on the farm.)  One of the highlights of our summers is catching the snake's head peeking out of the spot where you fill the reservoirs.  (Don't click the pic if you're afraid of snakes, but do click if you want to see the surface of a Grow Box after three years of full, South side sun exposure.)At any rate, I still have all ten Grow Boxes and they're all in great shape for their ages--cosmetic issues only.  We're considering spraypainting the outsides at the end of the season so they'll be ready to go again next year, but it's not necessary at this point--just a matter of aesthetics.  They're still structurally sound and doing a great job.

    Good for growing mosquitoes!!
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2015*

I am growing tomatoes in these but I am also growing mosquitoes.  Unlike the true earth box where you water down a tube, here you have the one watering point which is totally exposed so it becomes a haven for mosquitoes to grow.  Not good! I will also see how these clean up at the end of the season, the way you have to put them together, I am having my doubts.

    Great Idea!
  

*by R***H on Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2015*

I finally "broke down" and purchased a "self-watering" planter. I wanted it specifically for tomatoes. So far so good. It will only accomodate three tomato plants but that is enough for me. The plants seem to be doing quite well so I am happy. It remains to be seen how they do in the more intense weather of July and August but I expect all will be good. Saves me from worrying about watering every day.
