This Amazon Vertical Planter Has Everything You Need to Grow Vegetables in an Apartment – It’s Even Self-Watering
I've never seen a small-space gardening solution so clever
It doesn't matter if you have a tiny patio or no yard at all, there are so many innovative ways to grow plants in the smallest of spaces. Through vertical arrangements, containers, and clever water management, you can create a thriving garden wherever you have a free corner – and my latest find combines it all.
If you're looking for new ideas for apartment gardening, I've just found a genius solution: this Amazon self-watering rolling planter. Not only does it have two planters to grow in, they have water reservoirs to keep your plants hydrated without you needing to pick up a watering can. Plus, the fact it's a vertical set-up saves space, and you can move it around as needed thanks to its wheels.
It really does have everything in one for a compact patio, balcony, or indoor garden. I particularly love the fact it comes with some essential hand tools that are neatly stored on hooks. 'A practical choice for small-space gardening and everyday plant care,' one reviewer writes. Now is a great the time to pick it up as it's on sale for $39.99, just in time for indoor fall gardening.
This rolling planter is ideal for small spaces. The vertical planters maximize growing space, while the wheels make it mobile. Each planter has a water reservoir for a self-watering plant care. It's modular, so you can also choose to use them as separate planters. It comes with additional gardening tools, including a watering can, trowel, and fork.
Use it Indoors or Out
The beauty of the Amazon self-watering rolling planter is that it can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Inside, the concealed reservoir trays keep watering mess-free and allow it to quietly slot into interiors. Outdoors, the planters are rust-proof (made of plastic) and durable to cope with different weather conditions.
The fact its on wheels means you can move it where needed, using it on your patio or balcony in summer and bringing it indoors in fall to extend the growing season.
In both settings, this planter provides a vertical garden to save space and maximize your growing room.
Pair it with collapsible gardening tools for even more space-saving storage.
Why Shoppers Love It
The Amazon self-watering rolling planter has a 4.4-star rating and the reviews reveal shoppers are pleased with this purchase.
'This rolling raised garden bed makes it easy to grow herbs, vegetables, and flowers in a convenient, elevated space,' says one shopper. 'Its raised design helps reduce bending and kneeling, while the rolling base allows you to move it easily to follow the sunlight or reposition it around your patio, balcony, or garden,' they continue.
Not only does the water reservoir make plant care less effort, it helps avoid watering mistakes by providing drainage and allowing plant roots to soak up just as much water as they need – ideal for beginner gardeners. The transparent water level window makes it easy to then top up when needed.
'Perfect for small time hobbiests, easy to put together,' another reviewer writes.
The modular design means everything simply snaps into place, no drilling needed. Though, some shoppers note they were surprised by the size of it.
'It is a lot shorter than expected,' one person writes. 'Do not follow the soil amounts they suggest. I bought the small version and Amazon suggested 75 quarts of soil but I didn’t even use a whole bag of 25 quarts,' another writes.
However, there are two size options to choose from, depending on the space you have available: the 27.8" planter or larger 46.7" Amazon self-watering planter.
The fact it's currently just $39.99 is no doubt a great deal to jump on. The hand tools it comes with are a bonus, making it the perfect starter kit for small-space gardening, alongside these small-space gardening essentials.
