Pros:
- you don't have to bend over to get your food
- keeps the pesky critters out of your food
What I've learned:
- I had some drainage issues - mostly due to the potting soil I used. It would only wet down a millimeter or so and then just dribble out. I noticed this didn't happen with the one I used miracle grow potting soil in (I used some organic potting soil in most but had 2 pockets I didn't have enough so I borrowed some and it was miracle grow). I remedied this by poking tons of drainage holes both front and back and all of a sudden my issues were pretty much solved. This also created a nice drip effect.
- plant something "icky" to the animals on the bottom (I did arugula) and they won't bother it.
- strawberries seem to LOVE this system.
