plants for trellis planter Self-Watering Rolling Tomato Planter with Trellis–Vego Garden, Cream White

We're always on the lookout for garden solutions that are functional, fruitful and user-friendly. After a full season of evaluation, our team found the Self-Watering Planter from Vego Garden checked all the right boxes.

Easy to assemble, with a sturdy, adjustable-height trellis, we set it up in the garden in no time. After filling it with our favorite planting mix and transplanting in our tomatoes, we simply filled the self-watering reservoir whenever it got low and let it grow.

We were a little skeptical about sacrificing flavor for convenience – overwatered tomatoes notoriously can be flavorless. But the self-watering system wicked water directly to the roots, allowing plants to drink at their own pace and resulting in consistent, deep watering. Just be sure to water from the top for the first few weeks while the roots grow down toward the reservoir. 

During the heat of summer, our trial plants stayed lush and productive, even on the hottest days. Tomatoes were prolific and delicious, with zero cracking. And if tomatoes aren't on your grow list this season, these planters are just as effective for peppers, cucumbers, herbs and more. You can even use it indoors for large houseplants.
