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 |
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.
Yes. Here is a short video![]()
We have raised garden kits for you to purchase or alternatively, just buy some 19mm galvanized metal poling and cut to required size, then put 20mm PVC over this, then either 32mm PVC (for medium planters) or 50mm PVC (for large planters) cut to required length. The planters sit on the riser PVC and the center pole provides stability as hammered into the ground.
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.
And great gift ideas for garden lovers
SOOOOOOOO much better than the competition. Large pot growing space with good drainage. We have been eating fresh salad veggies and herbs from our Mr/Ms. Stacky throughout the summer and it keeps on giving. Recommend it to all my gardening friends. The perfect addition to our deck!
Fast delivery.
Good price.

Great planter for herbs.
Growing strawberries in mine and the birds and I enjoy it very much.
I bought this to plant strawberries and absolutely love it. If you put the right mix in the containers this really helps to keep the strawberry roots from getting too wet and you can put it up on a plant stand like I did to keep it away from opossum and raccoons. It is also easy to move, so if there is too much rain moving it onto the porch is very easy.
this is a little on the pricey side especially with shipping, but it is perfect on my small front porch. It needs a very sturdy hanger because it is quite heavy when filled with wet potting soil. It accommodates a variety of plants in one compact arrangement. I liked it so much I ordered it as a house warming gift.
We received the Mr. Stacky and set it up immediately. It was really easy to put together and load with soil and plants. We've got some strawberries and a variety of herbs in it, and it looks fabulous! Very happy with this purchase.
great gift
Will definitely order more of these! Very happy with this purchase! Heavy plastic. Not flimsy. Comes in a small package. Easy to stack. Looks really nice!
I have some thyme, sage, chives, and dill in my southern facing bow windowsill. I couldn't be happier with this product
The planter is great and does exactly what I wanted it for. I am only giving 4 stars because orange color is not terracotta as I had thought, it is VERY orange! I am just hoping that the leaves will cover most of it as the plants grow.
I planted strawberries in two and herbs in the rest.the strawberries never produced . It may be that the planters are to small to spread, but the herbs did fine. So if your interested in a herb garden. It's great.
