Great product delivered promptly. Trialled on a small scale to see how effective the water reservoir was for a shady north facing retaining wall. It only needed topping up once a week (May - July).... See more

PlantBox long term 3 year review

I have had a stack of 5 No plantboxes for 3 years, and they have just gone in the recycling bin. It is a good idea that does not stand up to long term testing. Here is my experience:
After the first year I was very pleased, it all worked well and the plants were good. I would have given it 5 stars.
At the start of the second year I fully emptied it and gave it a good clean before replanting. Halfway through the second year two of the yellow water level floats got stuck, and all efforts failed to free them. But it still worked and the plants were good. I would have given it 3 stars. At the start of the third year I gave it another good clean before replanting, and managed to get one of the defective floats working. Half way through the third year, all the floats stopped working, and the water chamber on three of the troughs became blocked and would not cascade down to the lower troughs. Jet washing the chamber from above and below did not clean it. I had to resort to manually watering some of the troughs. The plants were poor suffering from both under and over watering due to the blocked waterways. I attempted to dissemble the unit mid season, but this is not possible due to the locking connectors (poor design choice). At the end of the season I cut through the connectors and dissembled the unit. The cause of the blockages was two large snails and one large slug that had taken up residence in the float chambers. There was no way of getting them out, apart from destroying the units. Hence, 2 stars. So a good idea spoilt by long term practical issues of not being able to disassemble the units to clear blockages.

Reply from Growing Revolution

Good morning,
Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We have to admit, though, we were rather surprised to read that after three years of use - including a first year you describe as worthy of five stars... the PlantBox ultimately ended up in the recycling bin because a slug and two snails had taken up residence in the water chambers!

We certainly understand your frustration with the blockage, and we accept that the floats and water chambers should ideally be straightforward to access if something does become lodged inside them. However, we’re not sure we would draw the same conclusion that the PlantBox system “does not stand up to long term testing” based on this particular experience.

In fact, we have made a number of small improvements to the system since your original purchase. The design of the yellow water-level indicator floats has been tweaked, as has the locking clip mechanism, based in part on feedback from customers over the years.

We were also unable to find a record of your order from the information provided in this review. If you purchased your PlantBoxes through a reseller or another website, please do let us know, as we'd be interested to understand when and where they were purchased.

More importantly, we do sell replacement floats, connectors and other spare components individually, generally for just a few pounds. These are specifically intended to allow PlantBoxes to be repaired, refreshed and kept in service rather than replaced altogether. Had you contacted us when the floats or water chambers first became problematic, there may well have been a much simpler, and considerably less destructive solution available.

And we have to say, we're particularly sad to hear that five perfectly usable PlantBoxes have now gone into the recycling bin. There are plenty of schools, community groups and gardening projects who, we're sure, would have been delighted to give them a new home and many more years of use!

We're genuinely sorry that your experience ultimately became frustrating, and we absolutely take the feedback regarding access to the water chambers seriously. But we also hope this response provides some useful context for the lots of other people reading this review: PlantBox is designed as a long-term, repairable system, and individual components can be replaced without necessarily having to replace the whole unit.

If you still have any of the components before they go to recycling, please do get in touch. We'd be very happy to see whether we can help get them back into use.

Fast Dispatch

This has been my second purchase from Growing Revolution - the first was during lockdown and on both occasions dispatch and delivery were very fast. I would happily use them again.

Vertical wall planters

Vertical wall planters are competitively priced, arrived quickly and are very easy to put together and install.
We had some from another seller previously that np longer did them but these matched in size and appearance perfectly.

I phoned before buying

I phoned before buying, and the guy was really helpful and knowledgeable. I bought a number of kits and I’ve just finished putting them all together. They’re really well-made, accurate and whenever I encountered a problem it was inevitably the way I was doing it! Would recommend them highly.

Stunning Living Wall

The product is outstanding and just works!
I contacted GR about when I should plant my plants and asking about what plants I needed were very helpful.

Everything was really well packed when it arrived especially the plants. The plants were really healthy and a good size.

Even from day 1 of planting it looks fabulous and im looking forward to seeing it grow next year.

I'm beyond thrilled with my purchase

Great product & excellent support

Excellent support prior to ordering the planters with clear explanations. Product arrived well packaged in a timely manner. Clear instructions given and option to also view a youtube video. Looks amazing now fixed to wall and several herbs planted.
My only comment for others would be to plant up before securing to wall as it’s easier to get the plants into the troughs without there being another one in top. Water system seems superb too.

Wonderwall

Plant boxes and plants arrived promptly and in great condition, very well packaged, plants healthy and a lovely variety, chose Sunny Galore for a West facing wall in Aberdeen. Straight forward to assemble and looks beautiful - this has completely transformed our wall. Excellent helpful and friendly service from Growing Revolution, thank you!
