How heavy are those topsy turvey planters when they have soil and water in them? I have been looking at them for a couple of years but thought I might need a crane to hold them!
Actually, they only weigh about 10 lbs. apiece. (Dry!) And they come with more-than-adequate hardware to hold them up - they use braided steel wire. I ran heavy-duty planter hooks into my porch to suspend them, but they come with eye screws. They probably go about 20-25 lbs., fully watered. But my veggies are going gangbusters so far - even better than putting them in the usual over-tilled, over-watered, over-fertilized patch I've tried to maintain over the last few years. Buy one, put a plant of choice in it, and observe for a couple of weeks. If you think it's the way to go, then run riot.
