3.0 out of 5 stars This staking system works well, but why spend the extra $$?, June 9, 2007

I received this with my Earthbox. Since I have had this over a month now, and my plants, (tomatoes and peppers) are needing staking, I have discovered that I don't need to spend the extra money on this. They don't hold up the plants as well as the stakes I bought at Home Depot. If you just like to spend the extra money, then go ahead, otherwise, I would just buy the box and buy your own staking sticks with some twine, works just as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars lousy staking system, July 12, 2007

This review is from: EarthBox 1010053 Staking System In Terra Cotta for the EarthBox Garden Kit (Lawn & Patio)

the earthbox itself is terrific...but the staking system they sell for thirty bucks is a ripoff big time. Flimsy and cheap--not even wire or rubber mesh, but string. For an investment of thirty bucks you can buy some heavy duty staking poles and cages at a hardware store and you could make enough for three or four earthboxes. outrageous price for the shipping and this piece of garbage. It does not deserve to have earthbox name affiliated with it.

Forget the cost for a moment, this product works as it should. The kit comes with some nice feet for the Earthbox. The poles attach to these feet, and there are two handy clamps to hold the support poles to the top of the box. I don't use the trellis netting for tomatoes. For tomatoes I put two stick supports near the plant stems and attach those stakes to the Earthbox support system. This provides a total of 4 vertical supports and the one horizontal support at about 42 inches, roughly speaking. The stakes are five feet, or about four feet above ground. The stakes stick up above the horizontal support. I then use ties to support the tomato plants. If the tomato plants grow beyond the four feet, I extend the support with an extension kit.

I do use the trellis for sugar snap (snow) peas and other climbing plants. It works good.

Now the cost. This kit contains various parts. I purchased a different trellis net at my local garden center for about $10. This kit comes with a similar, but smaller, trellis net. For what it's worth, I have a friend who creates his own nets. I guess one could come up with a different system, but how much time do you want to spend to try and better a good working system that is under $50? Gardening stuff is almost always "expensive." Is it cheaper just to use two poles without this support system? Yes. Would it be as effective? No.

If I wanted to reduce cost, I'd probably just plant in the ground. The results wouldn't be as good, but it would be cheaper, or would it?

I own several of these kits.
