Although my first one arrived broken (shipping damage), Wayfair quickly sent out a new one. I haven't used this planter yet, but I love the feature where you can use it inside or outside--allowing the water to stay in the bottom of the planter or the valve opened to allow it to drain. This is particularly handy for indoor use in my heated garage this winter. I am moving my garden, mostly to raised planters or pots, since my in-ground garden is becoming more shaded every year--and I am getting older, not younger! This planter is large and will hold quite a few plants. I'm hoping to put peppers and other smaller veggies into it--maybe even a determinate tomato or two--next year.
