Keter Urban Bloomer 12.7 Gallon Raised Garden Bed and Outdoor Herb Garden Planter with Self Watering Gauge and Drainage Plug, Dark Grey

I'm the worse at assembling ANYTHING so I was extremely happy that this Raised Garden Bed was so easy to assemble! It took me 15 minutes to assemble it! I was so relieved that I didn't have to ask anyone for help! It held my 40lb bag of soil with room for at least another 10lbs. it is sturdy and looks great on my patio.

I have no idea what I'm doing, but for some strange reason I got this overwhelming urge to garden this year, for the first time in my life. I don't want to make a proper garden in my yard until I figure out whether this is just a passing fancy. So I bought this thing for my deck. I planted 6 herbs plants I got from home depot (mint, thai basil, rosemary, cilantro, parsley, and thyme). It's been about a month, and they've all exploded. I was pleased with this result, so I bought another and planted chives, jalapenos, regular basil, lemon balm, and white tea. Glorious success. I've now purchased a total of 4, and this is getting out of hand. My strawberry planter is gloriously lush after only about 2 weeks, and I'm giddy about my tea garden. Is this what happens when you turn 30? You get excited about planters and the kinds of herbs you use to season food? That is kind of depressing but whatever, I can now make pho on a whim without going to the grocery store, so win. These things are stupid easy to use. The self- watering feature and little floaty leaf are great for a ditzy novice like me. Setup was easy and quick. The whole thing feels really flimsy and cheap, but functions perfectly so I can't complain too much. Looks pretty nice- a little bit cheap but not too ugly. I think these things are great overall- I definitely recommend them. I do have to say they're rather spendy though- they're literally half the price at home depot fyi.

I have to say, I really like this planter. I have three of them now. They take two minutes to assemble, they are sturdy enough for all the soil/compost/vegetation I packed them with, and my produce is growing just fine in them. I have fancy wooden raised beds too, and though smaller, these do the trick well. The shelf is not very strong, so don't put anything of significant weight on it. The water gauge is relatively useless, but I obsessively check things daily anyway. I will use the starter sections next year when I start seeds inside. I can't speak to how they will keep up over time, but for the price, I recommend the product.

This thing is awesome. I got the black one to go with the color of my deck and its very cute. It has a nice wood grain look and its so well made and simple to put together and it has easy to understand instructions (no tools needed). Its also pretty sturdy. I'm using it to grow herbs outside that I plan to bring into my basement for the winter, so I can stop spending so much money on grocery store bunches of herbs I never fully use up. Only caution is that is a good size but its not huge. I think I'm going to be able to grow about 8-10 bunches of herbs in it. So if you're planning to grow a lot, you may need more than one. Otherwise, I honestly love this thing. The water indicator and little seedling planter is perfect (the seedling planter has holes for drainage...they thought of everything). Also the extra water collects in the bottom but doesn't just pour out...you have to pull the rubber plug to do it....which is great because 1) I don't want dirty water all over my deck and 2) the water can be saved for re-watering because its nutrient rich. Last point, its a very nice finish plastic so doesn't look cheesy or cheap. Usually I only like wood, metal, etc...but this almost looks like stained wood panels and will be much, much easier to clean and will last forever without maintenance. Trust me, I'm picky as hell about decor items and functionality and this is a really cute piece for being plastic. Its a definite buy and thanks to the manufacturer for building a good quality, very cute, very environmentally friendly planter. And the little shelf underneath helps to hide our ugly deck light switch and holds my watering can and citronella candles...sooo awesome! Thank you!!!

So I typically only write reviews when I feel strongly about an item, either good or bad. I ordered two of these planters and so far I’m impressed. The quality of the plastic is good, and the product is well designed. The best part is that I could easily put it together in less than 15 minutes and there’s no need for screws or getting my husband involved (a win:win)! I was able to set them both up in my garden within 30 minutes. They are small, patio size- so measure to know what to expect. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase. I’m not sure how the plastic will hold up in FL sunshine, and I expect the legs will rust quickly, as well, because hey it’s FL. I’m excited to quickly get some plants going and this planter makes it easy.

I am new to gardening and was trying to find something I could keep on my patio for herbs. I was looking for something durable, decorative but also that made sense for gardening. I already have 2 different Keter deck boxes this exact color so I was pleased to find this product. I don't completely understand how the water indicator gauge works but know I will figure it out sooner or later. I loved how the water drains to the bottom of the container and the drain plug allows me to remove excess water. We had a huge rain the other day so I removed the drain cap and removed about a gallon of water; I let it drain into my large watering can so I can reuse the water. I would recommend this product to anyone who is thinking about using something like this, it is very durable and like their other products, a good/quality item. I am going to purchase another one later this summer if I decide to grow any additional herbs. Side Note - I am thinking I might be able to move this into my garage in the winter and possibly turn into a mini greenhouse with a grow lamp? This would allow me to keep my herbs going all year long...maybe?! Not sure if that would work out but I think the possibility is there with this product. Just wish it came with an optional greenhouse cover/dome and maybe casters? Really impressed with this!

Easy to assemble no tools needed

Love this raised garden. Really easy to put together. I planted all my herbs in it. We’ll see how well they grow.

Hace tiempo que la quería, se me hace muy bonita, yo no la quería para verduras sino para flores jeje, me gustó mucho. Está resistente.

Fácil de armar, muy práctica. Me gustó mucho.

Found planter easy to assembly. Good height to plant or harvest plants. Extra shelf good for fertilizer or garden tools. Ordered early and planted with herbs but unfortunately still in rainy season and kept having to open drain to release some of the water. Finally got smart and just kept the drain open. Surprising how much rain water the planter will hold. Once the days of rain settle down will close drain and fill the water reservoir again. Planter looks sturdy and I expect will last many years. Already considering buying another one next year, after I evaluating plant success. Also considering buying a liquid fertilizer to add to the water reservoir to ensure good plant health.
