RIP OFF ALERT!!!!!  Buy a nice patio container and grow your veggies.  This POS is NOT the answer to ANYTHING except a waste of your hard earned dollars.  We are not novices at growing.  I have a huge garden with lots of good veggies and I grow salad items in containers all year round.  DON'T WAST YOUR $$$$$$ go to your local garden store and purchase nice planters for better results!!!!!!
