It might be OK for growing shallow rooted bedding plants, or salad crops like lettuces, but even at half price it seems to me very expensive. The other problem with these shallow containers is that they need an awful lof of watering in hot weather and if you went away on holiday or even for a long week-end, everything would probably be dead on your return.

I have just started gardening again after 6 years and have had to start from scratch. We have a new allotment and I plan to grow lots of stuff from seed so that patiogrow is going to be ideal for me along with lots of other sale items that I have ordered. It looks pretty flimsy but I`ll be treating it carefully and it will be ideal for growing seedlings on and also hardening them in the little garden behind my house. Lol anyway we still have some house money left so I want to get it all now before we all start tightening our belts again

I can't see the point and I've said so several times. And looking at the reviews it's hardly shining is it?
I think the pots would be better off on the ground, for a start they'll all get more light and if you think about it, all you are getting really, is a way to store at the most, 6 extra of those pots in the same sized area. Although I would argue you could virtually get the same amount in it, if you moved the pots around a bit I think you would be no worse off without it.
It would also shade other areas behind it.

If you really really don't have any more space than a tiny balcony and you only have one wall to grow on, it may do.
