Hi Greg! I am so sorry that we never responded to your email! It went to our spam folder by mistake. I just sent you a reply. Thank you so much for sharing and for growing with us! Those tomato plants look amazing, I can't wait to see them grow 💚 - Cody Catherine Thomas
Thanks for reaching out.
I'm super shocked about the customer service issue. I lost one of the drain trays during the hurricane. Totally my fault, I left it out. I called them a few days after and they shipped it for free and were so sweet on the phone. I got the replacement part within a week *but we couldn't get mail for 5 days because of the flood waters*
I have to say I’ve had great customer service. We had a tree fall directly on one of my towers. Destroyed it. Through no fault of theirs but they still replaced my tower. Since then I have purchased more. I find them to be a stand up company.
Don't forget to snap the water container to the top. It attaches just like the other containers.
I’m having fun with my greenstalks. I have a couple leaf’s for strawberries and I set up a original this spring and have it full of squash, herbs and green onions. I’m in the south too and water until I see water coming out of the bottom and then continue to fill up the watering reservoir to the top and call it good. Seems to be evenly watering throughout. I’m probably getting a couple more before the year is over. I’m in a suburban area with limited space so appreciate being able to grow vertically.
I love mine. I now have 6 adding them slowly as sales come about.
I've used my GreenStalk planters for 3 years and love them. Three tips: 1. Don't push the gray disk into the potting mixand leave it in contact with the mix . Make sure there is some air space under the watering disk or fungus will grow under it on the dirt. 2. I prefer to hand water the pockets. I can control the water amount needed and is distributed more evenly and faster than standing there trying to fill the water reservoir. 3. Fill the tubs to the top with potting mix. The mix will settle when watered. My sister loves Red Robin tomatoes, so I'm going to try them in the GreenStalk next year. Haven't grown dwarf tomatoes in my GreenStalks and am looking forward to seeing how your tomato plants do.
First year, I used Kelloggs brand potting mix, not potting soil, in the planters, and my veggies would not grow. The mix became very hard in the planters. Same thing happened in my grow bags. When I dumped out the potting mix, I had to use a mallet to break it up. This year, I made my own potting mix with organic peat moss, perlite and other organic amendments. So far, have had a successful growing season.
Thanks for sharing...Im close to buying my first Greenstalk,but I'd like grow green vegetables,not just salad greens maybe ..Cabbage,Broccoli,Chard is that a possibility? Thought maybe 2 Green stalks eventually...Tomatoes,and salad greens in one
@@j.e.7028 Here's an update for this spring 2024 season. I am growing brassicas (cauliflower, broccoli, red cabbage), lettuces, carrots, green beans, dwarf peas, kohlrabi, basil and other veggies in my 4 GreenStalk planters. Decided not to grow tomatoes in the planters. I am using 10-gallon potato grow bags for my indeterminate tomato plants, because the width is 13" and depth is 16". Much more room for root growth. Got the potato grow bags on Amazon.
@@brichter4669 Thanks You, that's an amazing growing plan, a complete novice here.
Watched so many video but alot of lettuce and Strawberries, I would like to think Id grow more greens ..Just purchased 2 tomato planter, so fingers crossed with those!
We in the UK couldn't get our hands on Greenstalks until now..really excited about that,just to choose the right model,the mind boggles
Thanks again ..\best of luck with your brassicas!
I have two GreenStalks (one regular and one Leaf) and this is the first year I'm growing dwarf tomatoes in the regular size. I did put the dwarf tomatoes near the bottom and I did buy a plant ring support. Everything is growing great! I'm so surprised about your customer service experience. I have had nothing but prompt emails and texts and shipping has been nearly instant! Local family run Tennessee company. The video information really helps put them together and they do a great job with trouble shooting. Call again.
That is unusual for Greenstalk. They have never failed to answer me at all.
It was fun watching you put it together. It looks easy and I really like that it can be rolled where you want it or might need to get it out of the elements. Can’t wait to see it loaded with 🍅 😊
I’ve really enjoyed my GreenStalks. Please keep us updated on how the plants progress.
Will do!
One thing is for sure you definitely get great customer service with you guys! Probably the best customer service I’ve ever seen with a company. I’ve always wanted to try one of those things but never had
Our pleasure!
I have red Robbin tomatoes and tiny Tim in my greenstalk. The holes does get clogged, i actually drilled bigger holes and water flows better. Make sure no dirt in top water reservoir to clog the holes
Did you drill larger holes in the grey disks? What size did you drill? Thanks.
Just got mine this year and I love them. Great for bush beans. Best tip I got for deep south greenstalks is to first remove the top watering container and water thoroughly and replace the top container and water again for deep watering. They dry out quickly here. Have had no problems.
Thanks for the info!
I planted all three varieties of the little birdie series. Some in the Greenstalk and some small pots. The ones in the small pots did much better and the ones in the green stalk seem to have been a little cramped in the pockets. I trimmed them back after the first fruit, and they are starting to bloom again with a second crop. The leaf miners have been relentless on these little tomato plants in Central Florida.
Thank you for putting it all together so we could see how it works. I'm seriously thinking of getting one of these in October for my little grandson to have strawberries this year!
Glad it was helpful!
I love my greenstalk planters. I planted bush beans in one and love the ease of picking. Herbs do great as well. Going to have to order the seed for the Little Birdie tomatoes though.
Sounds great!
I called GS customer service when waiting for my first one to arrive and I had wonderful customer support. I am so surprised they did not send you one for free as they have sent most utube garden shows free ones for doing what you just did.
What a great idea. I have seen the greenstalk planters in many videos. I really want to get one I'm out of space for more plants. Thanks for sharing 😊
Wow, that GreenStalk is going to be loaded with 'maters before long! I've thought about doing that exact same thing with dwarf 'mater plants on our deck. I will be watching any follow up video's you post and may do one of these for our deck next spring. Great video!!!
I have 30 bush green bean plants in my GreenStalk right now. I’ve harvested 3 pounds of green beans from them so far, and counting. I anticipate getting at least another pound from them. I have another GreenStalk that I need to get soil to fill. I plan to put Tom Thumb dwarf peas in them in early spring and in fall, and green beans in warmer weather. I have micro tomato plants growing in hydroponics and raised beds. If I had another GreenStalk I full of soil I’d plant a bunch in that, too. I’ve grown them successfully in the stacking planters from Dollar Tree.
Good to know.
Agreed Greg - Hoss' customer service is above and beyond anything out there! You guys are AMAZING!!!! I've seen this greenstock on so many channels, but the cost prevents me from buying one, just like the silly overpriced hoselink! Can't wait to see your tomato results!!
You can roll into garage to get away from sun n heat. I had to feed them also they were getting yellowish. I just got some miracle grow bloom booster and added to water tray. Works great. Doesn’t clog up holes.
Thanks for the tip!
@@gardeningwithhoss ❤️ s glad to return the favor. I’ve learned so much from you.
Yes, so easy to add some fertilizer in the top watering tray for the whole greenstalk rather than having to add to each cell.
these things are pretty cool. i install windows and doors in knoxville and have seen them around the homes in last couple of years
Nice, I love mine I have 2 now. I'm not sure but it looked like your top one wasn't lined up. I could be wrong, but it should snap on to the green stalk as well. there's one way to tell you have little holes in each revisor and they should line up with each pocket. Not telling you what to do by any means just want to make sure its set up right, for a good healthy start on your tomato. I have orange hat tomato plants in all my top pockets seems to be working good so far.
Thanks for the tips Tony
Wish we had greenstalk in Australia
Yep I got to buy!!
I can't wait to see how they grow.
🥰please show it off as it grows in....luv my GSx3, & want 3 more- luv to grow lettuce's, so beautiful as plants fill in, pretty with flowers too, never thought about growing dwarfs t in GS, will have to do that!
Will do!!
Looking forward to seeing the results
will try all these varieties and i am planning on getting one of these planters. It will grow more than I need, thanks for your video
Best of luck!
It's nice you made this video, since you're not affiliated--I feel like I can believe what you say about it!
I appreciate that!
I have several Greenstalk planters. I grew Super Sweets, Roma's peppers you name it! Glad you all are giving it a try!
Oh wow!
Great for strawberries and herbs.
I have 7 Green Stalk tier. 4 original and 3 leaf. I live in hot area. First I used 2 of them to see the results. Great, great. Now I’m the job to sow the seeds for this year. I can use all the year.
I send 1 to my son and family to Texas. Good results.
And the Company is the best company I have good product and attention.
Good luck with your tomatoes.
Would love to see an update on this tomatos
I grow bush green beans in mine. Works great
I am very surprised that you did not receive any response from GS as I have made several inquires along the way and had a minor issue that was resolved right away. I called and also emailed at separate times. I have had mine for 3 years and have a total of 6 now. I love them, hopefully you will too.
Hoss I got my red snapper seeds and my plants are 3 to 4 inches tall ,planted deep (2" tall ) planted 4 today and some earlier. I don't know if it's too late but thought I'd give it a try. I'm in zone 6b 7a Upper Northeast Tennessee close to the Virginia line.
I wonder if strawberries would do well in one of those.
I have one of the leaf greenstalks full of strawberries.they do great. I grow everbearing.
Use mine for strawberry 🍓. gonna have to try tomatoes
I am surprised they didn't respond! I have 2 7 tiers and love them,
Can’t wait to see how this does, I’m with you regarding Customer service, it really seems like it’s gone by the wayside.
Thanks for doing this! I have had very good experience with GreenStalk customer service so it's a bummer that you didn't experience that.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for all the knowledge yal share 🙏 I was wondering if yal could lead me in the right direction on how to engineer my irrigation "hot lines", build my manifolds, and plumbing it to get ready for drip tape, drip emitters, misters, and or spray nozzles. I have a lot experience in residential irrigation but don't know how to build my system for future use. I'm getting ready to buy some microburst and calcium nitrate form u. I'm in Pumkintown SC. Thanks and thanks again for your help even if you don't have time, I know yal are busy.
They don’t get too hot on the concrete surface?
No, they have not and we have been in the high 90's this week with heat index over 100.
Is this the leaf planter it looks shorter than the one I have
I would like to plant minature tomatoes, strawberries, and bell peppers. Would you suggest planting the tomatoes or strawberries on the bottom?
tomatoes on bottom
I have one of these I plant herbs in it
I was super dissapointed in their customer support aswell. I have 3 original greenstalks and have also bought tgem for family members.
I had ordered the wrong base for one , reached out to them and was told I couldn't exchange it.
Does Hoss tools have those 3 seed types for sale
Yes, and look under the description of video and there are links to all 3.
@@gardeningwithhoss got them and ordered. Your website is dangerous for me.
;)
You do not have the top watered on correctly...it clips on like each layer snapping in between the pockets to let the water drip through the holes....it is not suppose to sit directly on top of the dirt...
Emails are not 100% reliable, probably should have followed up with a phone call.
That looks like the leaf green stalk. Large(r) vegetables are best planted in the original green stalk. The original has 10 inch pockets and the leaf has smaller pockets. The leaf is best for smaller plants the original is best suited for larger plants.
There is no customer service ANYMORE. NOT Limited to GREENSTALK
👍🏽😊🇺🇸
I have 3 GreenStalks, 1 is a 6 tier with 3 tiers ea of original & leaf; and 1 5 tier & 1 3 tier originals that I built as two 4 tiers. Why? Because I was worried about the height of 5 tiers being unstable in high winds & hard to reach in to water. What I don't understand is how you have a 5 tier that is so short? Your 5 tier looks like its only 4 ft tall. What is this mini GreenStalk?
Ours is the 5 Tier GreenStalk Leaf Vertical Planter
Evergreen
@@gardeningwithhoss ok...I get it now. The leaf pockets are indeed much smaller than the original. Thanks for clarifying.
Save seeds from the first time you grow dwarf tomatoes. I got ten new dwarfs from a single pack of seeds I used last year
Shame on green stalk! All the you. Tube channels have them. We are trying them for the first time: good luck to all of us
