Stacking Planter FAQ's
Grow anything from herbs, lettuce, strawberries & greens to full blown fruiting crops such as tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini even tubers such as potatoes, carrots and beet root!
Here’s some inspiration 🙂 :
Beet Root | Lettuce | Spinach | Kale | Capsicum | Tomato
Cucumber | Celery | Beans | Herbs | Strawberries | Carrot
Swiss Chard | Pumpkin | Bok Choi | Chillies | Snow Peas |
Zucchini | Broccoli | Shallots
You get the picture right! 🙂 You can pretty much grow anything. Just ensure you’re providing enough sun…
Yes certainly. The stacking planters in the 5 tier sets are exactly the same as the hydroponic kits. So you can buy a small 5 tier set and see how it works, then once you’re happy scale up to a larger set-up if desired…
Yes. Food Safe Polypropylene #5. Like what yogurt containers are made of except we use a lot more of it.
This all depends on what you want to grow. The 33cm width pots have a capacity of 5 litres each which is suitable for lettuces, herbs, spinach, beetroot, flowers and plants with smaller root systems. The 45cm width pots have a large 15 litres capacity each. This is ample space to grow all kinds of fruiting vegetables such as tomatoes, capsicum, eggplant and even pumpkin or watermelon if you really want!
Yes, and many customers do. Make sure you use good quality well draining potting mix. Great news is Mr Stacky is modular, so you can start small and build a self sustainable garden over time.
While the poles are not 100% necessary, Mr Stacky planter sets come with a center pole which adds stability and allows you to move the garden from above as the pole extends above the planter. Other stacking planters do not provide this. This also allows you to convert your 5 tier kit into a hydroponic tower kit if you want.
Simply water the top pot! Each stacky has drainage holes in the center and outer clovers which disperse water optimally to touch all the root systems on the way down. This flow through design ensures pooling of water or root rot.
When you see the bottom dripping, this means the above layers are saturated so you want to stop watering before you see drips from the bottom. As a rule of thumb it’s much better to provide regular small doses of water opposed to less regular longer feeds.
For example, the DIY systems normally feed 3 times a day for example 9am, 1pm, 5pm at 1 minute intervals.
As long as you have a support through the middle, you can stack them as high as you want!.
Some stackable planters on the market use inserts inside each planter designed to hold water in each layer. This is not good practice! Pooling water promotes disease such as root rot. Mr Stacky planters are FREE FLOWING. Free flowing water is essential for transfer of nutrient and oxygen to the root zone and we do not recommend inserts.
Yes. See these DIY Towers or the 3 Tower Smart Farms for a simple guide. Anyone can do this.

No back breaking digging.
Cheers.
I interplay them with mixed sealed seeds. That way, something is growing all year round.
My experience over the last 4 months with the 5 Tiered system has been great. Every seed I have tried planting so far has grown fast and hearty. I have even managed to grow lavender up here in the heat of North Queensland without any issues, after being told by many who have tried before that it's not an easy feat.
I generally use half of the system as a seed germinator to guarantee an expedient, high germination rate, and then plant the healthy juveniles of larger plants, in my raised beds where they have more space to grow. The system usually lived on my patio which receives a good 6-8 hours of sun in Summer and 5-6 in Winter. I would recommend to future users to get some additional coco coir bricks so you are ready to refurbish the 'petals' after transplanting any plants that have outgrown the system.
10/10 would recommend.
Really looking forward to adding some colour to the tops pots come spring. I love the white and am looking forward to the colourful flowers cascading down against the white pots.
A tip- we drove a reo rod through the middle hole and into the ground. We have had huge winds and they cannot blow over. It also allows us to spin them, so each side gets sun.
I know have 4 Mr Stacky towers. I will be getting more.
I highly recommend them. I am using them on my pathways as well as on my veranda. I have one filled with nothing but lettuces. I have two that are a mixture of carrots and tomatoes shallot’s and spring onions.
The last one has a third round of lettuce we love our lettuce, a few chillies and I’m about to plant some flowers to keep it pretty throughout winter.
Tower 1 was planted a mixture of Lettuces, Pak Choi, Broccoletti, Arumathus, Perpetual Spinach and Button Squash in the top layer.
Tower 2 was planted with Broccoli, Beetroot, Capsicum, Pak Choi, Sugar Loaf Cabbage, Chinese Cabbage and Cauliflower in the top layer.
We have been picking Lettuce, Spinach, Beet, Arumathus and Pak Choi leaves for weeks. Our Button Squash are developing fruit and we hope to pick the first ones in the next week!!
The Capsicums haven't done so well, but we think that has been due to the excessive rain we have had over the last month and also that they were transplanted from another pot whereas everything else was planted from seed.
We are now incorporating Coconut Coir with the soil in our other pots and have found it is fantastic with Cherry Tomatoes and Celery and are having success with growing cuttings of native Pigface!
We are definately getting another Tower soon!
PS They're also good for keeping snails and slugs off your veggies.
It was exciting to set it up. It working & going good. I planted few microgreens & started usin greens already in salads.
We are moving house to a smaller yard. These planters are not only space saver they are smart gardening.
Once I settle I will go for the few more stackers to add to my garden.
With the little space I have in the backyard I can plant big trees on the soil & use stacked planters for veggies.
Thanks
