My go-to tomato pot
I started with one of these on a recommendation from a friend and quickly fell in love with it. This is a perfect option for balcony/apartment gardeners. It's relatively sturdy, providing that you keep the bottom reservoir filled with water. I do often find mine toppled over when strong winds rip around my apartment balcony during storms. I simply need to move the tower closer to the building and it hold up just fine. It's relatively easy to put the trellis together as you need it and easy to clean out and store at the end of the season. I now have two towers and recommend this to friends just starting out in growing tomatoes as it's easy and fool proof.

Nice pot, trellis is a joke
The self watering pot is nice, typical design. The "trellis" is a piece of junk. The cross pieces and posts only fit loosely into the corner attachments, so the whole thing is difficult to put together, and the slightest breeze knocks it apart. And that's only the first level of the trellis. No way this can support anything. Strips of Duct tape hold it together, sigh.

So far so good! Easy assembly.
I like the self-watering feature, and love that it drains if overfilled. We had torrential rains and these pots are not soggy and waterlogged like my others. Large barrel should handle a full grown indeterminate tomato. Fingers crossed! One caution - be careful if you move them around because the cage easily comes apart.

My Favorite Veggie Barrels
This is my 3rd season using these tomato barrels to grow veggies on balcony. They are perfect for this purpose, and I've added an additional container every year so at this point I have 3 barrels and one of the larger rectangular containers. I've used them to grow tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, cantaloupe, and corn.

Disappointed
The heavy duty part of this seems not so true. The actual tower keeps falling apart. The bin for planting is ok. I thought it could be a bit larger. The tower really in the problem. The holes to place the tower into the container are too shallow. The tower falls apart in wind, if I bump the container or a storm happens.
