Set up nicely along the fence line right outside the kitchen. Took the recommended 12 cu. ft. of soil to fill it up. Teenager provided the extra set of hands to help get the soil in it. Immediately planted with all the spinach and lettuce starts that we had ready to go. Nice solution for growing in a previously unusable spot.

I set this bed up in under 2 minutes, and it was easy to fill the 3 parts with soil and compost. I planted potatoes, which I happened to have 3 varieties of, and so the 3 compartments worked well for me! Each one is nice and roomy, too. Once the potatoes grow, I'll add more potting soil until they are full.

I have been using smart pots now for 6 + years, there are walnut trees around my yard everyone use to tell I could never have a garden. But since I started using smart pots they come to asking how I grow so many vegetables and herbs, then I show them my smart pots. I now have 8 pots using a mix of sizes starting at 15 to 20 gal, up to 200 gal, and a 6 foot long bed. I grow everything from tomatoes to pop corn, kale to Brussel sprouts, I even grow seven pot primo peppers. I know grow so much produce that I have started canning.

I had to take out two wooden beds. they weren't that old but the wood was rotting and the wire to keep gophers out was starting to get rust and break. The smart pots are cheaper, quicker to set up and most likely will last years longer. So far I love them and highly recommend them for easy gardening.
