There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I found that if I bent the metal side bars 90-degrees about 3" to 4" up from the bottom (and in opposite directions) it made it much easier to form the flatter bottom of the basket. The instructions were unclear on this, and it does make them shallower, of course, but still pretty deep! You'll need to dig a decent sized hole for each, a few inches larger than the basket so you can backfill all-round with good, loose, supplemented planting soil.
Forming them is a pain, but flat is really the only way they can be shipped cost-effectively, so allow some time to prepare them and they should do a good job for you. A quality piece, I think, worth the money.
Recommend very highly!
I also had 5 (out of 9) large artichoke plants literally disappear overnight with vole mounds all around them. They would disappear randomly over about a 6 week span. At this point, it was war!
I tried sonic buzzers first, after the first plant died. The voles laughed at them, I have a picture of a vole mound 4 inches from the buzzer, must have been curious, or maybe looking for the off switch, I tried planting garlic all around, I hear garlic repels gophers and voles and such. Didn't help at all. I tried traps, I caught one vole, but the mounds all around the traps kept appearing. I tried stuffing lit roadside flares into their holes. Thats seemed to work, for a month or so, then more artichoke plants disappeared and I knew they had come back. Finally I tried poison in traps. The vole mounds continued to spread, but they never ate any bait, so I removed them as useless.
Finally I re-planted tomatoes and artichokes in these baskets. The vole mounds kept appearing, all around the bed, but not a single plant was taken. The tomatoes grew large and bore fruit, no apparent impediment to their root systems. The artichokes have all grown to full size and just started bearing fruit.
I used 1 gallon baskets for 1 qt transplants, so while the hole I had to dig was bigger than the root ball, I usually do that anyway to add amendments to the soil around the plant, so these baskets didn;t add a lot of work to the planting process. And with 6 foot tall tomato plants, and a mature 4 foot wide by 3 foot tall artichokes, these 1 gal baskets are clearly not inhibiting growth by pinching the roots. But despite vole mounds all around still, the plants are not being taken in the middle of the night anymore.
Victory is mine!
