Look forward to using these planters as soon as the weather warms up in New England. I already own three 4 foot long window boxes and two larger patio planters of Mayne self-watering boxes too.  What is nice about this type of planter, is that the plants never dry out from lack of water, but instead plants flourish. The photo of one patio planter was take in late May and by the middle of the summer the planter was in full bloom.
