They are still nicely designed and easy to keep clean, however they simply aren't enough for any of the above plants. All of them become root-bound and die out eventually. There is simply not enough soil to support gardening. This isn't mis-represented by the description, or a problem with the design. It is simple fact. If you know that your plants can handle less soil you will still love this set.
Original review:
This was easy to mount, and has worked great so far (a month.) We planted herbs for our cocktail bar in it, and you can see in the photo I mounted it to a standard pallet (along with some wheels) for an easily portable garden.
I am considering building a 2.0 version as well, and will buy these again when I do.
The watering system really overwaters the top plants before it gets to the bottom. No stars deducted because it is very easy to individually water each plant, and I feel like the self watering won't matter until they are all full and growing.
