Mayne Fairfield 36" x 20" x 20" Rectangle Black Self Watering Plastic Planter

I searched high and low for a quality and beautiful window box- this is it! I had only one window that I could display a window box on the front of our home so it had to be perfect. The white, self watering system window box adds the finishing touch to our landscaping. The raised panels on the box make a stand out statement of design. We have had so many compliments on it!

I love these boxes: the design is so good. I am using them as deck boxes that will sit on the deck floor against the deck railing. I put two of the very sturdy window box braces under each box to keep it from sitting on the deck floor. I will order the longer ones for the rest of the deck.

I bought two of this planter to pretty-up a stretch of crumbling concrete between my house and the driveway. They do look great--we've had compliments from strangers walking by--and I think they will be perfect for blueberries. We can't grow blueberries in the garden because our soil and water are too alkaline, but with this planter I am able to control the pH of the soil and water much easier. I have only two minor complaints: 1. They did not come with holes to access the root-watering reservoir (not a problem now, since I am watering them from the top to help them get established) 2. The plastic is not smooth, and so there are always little bits of dust/dirt getting stuck on the outside. I imagine this would not be so noticeable with a darker planter, and it's not noticeable from a distance, but it is still annoying. Spraying the sides with a hose doesn't seem to help much, maybe because the bits are stuck in tiny indents.

This rain barrel fits my need for beauty and functionality on my patio. Its dimensions allowed me to install a water collection device to keep my patio dry from roof run-off , saving my furniture from excess water exposure. Its smaller dimensions and arts and crafts look fit well with my house.

I have seen other planters like this one but they were made of different materials and looked more expensive then they are. I was disappointed that the planters were made of molded plastic. I thought they would have looked nicer. The inside section is nice that it is removable and can be turned around to drop in a premed pot instead of planing in the container. Once plants were in the planter it looks nice and unless you go up and look at it can not tell it is molded plastic.
