I love this planter, I have 4 plants in mine and they are growing beautifully. I have gorgeous yellow blossoms and am looking foward to a healthy bountiful harvest. Its clear the reviewer from Texas was over watering his plants which is the MAIN cause of root rot and blossom end rot. Perhaps the hot Texas sun seems to warrant the extra water but I agree with the lady from Colorado. I water once a day in the early morning and so far so good. During a very hot day the leaves will wilt some but perk up the following evening.

At any rate this stand is well built and a joy to use. Its very stable unlike some other models Ive seen and mine has produced healthy happy looking plants. I recommend this product whole heartedly!

I live in an aprtment with a NW facing balcony, up in North Dakota. I had some concerns about getting enough sunlight for tomatoes, but went ahead and tried it out. What do you know, it worked OK! However... there were a couple of things I had to do to achive success.
I bought "determinate" type tomatoes. This is what the horticulturist at our local University told me to use. I'm not really sure what that means, but he has a PHD and I don't.
I used the "moisture control" potting soil. This helped with water retention. You will still need to fetrilize, due to the fact that there just isn't enough soil to support 3 good sizes tomato plants. I also used a copper soap based anti-disease spreay(Ortho)to fight off blight and rot.
I would water the plants every morning, and when I did I would rotate the tree by 1/3 to expose annother plant to direct sunlight (my porch only gets 4-6 hours of it a day). I would not reccomend this product to anyone who can't afford to really give it the attention it needs. if you go 3-4 days between waterings, the plants have a good chance of dying. Water 1-2 times a day, depending on your direct sunlight level.
Stick to the 3 plant plan, as I said before, there just isn't enough soil. I did not have any issues with the fabric bag as others seemed to have. This might be due to soil/water acidity, I don't know. The sponge plant retainers did get torn up due to small roots growing into them, but I can replace those with a suitable substitue.
I am looking forward to growing again this year! Hope this helped!

After 3 seasons in Colorado I have not had any problems with this planter and the tomatoes grow great. I use sweet 100's and water once a day.
