Provence Self Watering Planters – 4-Herb Window Boxes Planters with Water Level Indicator – Windowsill Planter – Modern Pot Design – Practical and Easy to Use, Grey, Dark Green (PRO-4)

Note: I’m a gardener who gets his hands dirty, not some paid reviewer who pimps stuffInitial impressions were (probably) wrong1) Seems pricey, but may not be in hindsight. Everything is plastic any more, it's hard to find any other material. Finding a comparable item, with same/similar features, has been difficult if not impossible, so price may not be bad after all.2) Seemed flimsy (I almost returned when I first opened box because of this), but it is not when properly put together. I was pleasantly surprised with how sturdy it is once assembled correctly.Dislikes1) At the time of this writing all units being sold on Amazon are either damaged or opened returns. I would really like to be able to purchase new, not kinda-sorta-but-not-really new.2) One piece missing [T junction], likely due to prior issue (not essential, but still wanted, solved with creative redneck engineering)3) Planter is not hydroponic in any way, shape or form (hyrdoponic = no soil). For my own purposes I don’t really care, but it is misleading for packaging to suggest otherwise.Likes1) I can add water directly to reservoir or just water it in from above and let water percolate down2) Reservoir can be closed to keep mosquitoes out3) Reservoir water level gauge is great, I can check the water level from my kitchen window4) Depending on how you prune, planter could hold multiple plants5) Not at all top heavy6) Not that hard to put together (some reviewers must have never played with legos as children)7) I’ve had it for several months now, it is working out quite well (see photo)Summary: Definitely better than I thought it would be when I first unpackaged it; still seems a bit pricey, but to be truthful I can’t find anything else of comparable value, with these features, relative to cost, so perhaps not; I am planning to purchase several more in near future (once used/damaged boxes run out).

I have a small apartment patio and I loved that these were self watering. My neighbors loved them too and I let them know where I got them. They are small, but big enough and the trellis can hold most of the weight. The weight of my fruit got heavy and I used string to hold branches and attached to the trellis and well, broke my trellis with the weight. I would buy again.

Stores water for over a week, seems to be a good value for the price. Would buy again.

Shipping was great, but when I opened up the box and put it together, one of the plastic corner pieces were broken 😞

Very very very small. Not big enough to put herbs bought at the nursery in. The water gauge doesn’t fit the opening and no instructions in the box!

Great item keeps our plants watered without drowning them

Good quality product. My basil, cilantro, and mint are all doing well on the indoor window sill. The roots have found their way to the lower water trough.

First-time I've been able to grow basil inside. Excited to see if it continues to grow. Only planted 2 cells and left the other 2 empty
