In this video, I share an innovative new design that will revolutionize your container garden! I love container gardening, but it has a downside: setup and relocation is hard! Large planters can be heavy and difficult to move, maybe even impossible for those with physical limitations. That’s why I’m so excited to share this brilliant invention! These heavy duty planters have lockable wheels, making moving them effortless. These planters allow you to grow a container garden anywhere!
In addition to lockable wheels, they have integrated trellises to make growing larger plants like tomatoes, bush type cucumbers, squashes and small melons a breeze! They are lightweight, heavy duty and assemble in minutes. I am using these to grow tomatoes an entire month early, because I can easily wheel the plants inside the house on chilly nights and wheel them right back outside in the morning when temperatures warm. Even if you have an extensive in-ground garden, these container gardens are a brilliant way to have earlier harvests of all your favorite vegetables.

I only use Earth boxes for my tomatoes and peppers. Last years, I think I have them for about 30 years. I use the automatic watering system to eliminate blossom end rot. Love these boxes!
Love the planters. Thanks for sharing this info.
Its all marketing. Pots on wheels with a trellis has been around forever. They are not built rock solid. Plastic, Chinese made and when the sun does its work 2 years they will be in a landfill. You forgot to mention all the spiders that make nests around the wheels and all the water that turns the wheel axles into a frozen spinning unit.
Heck, I always thought you were Dale Sr. 🤣🤣🤣 Great product, tfs!
Cheesy product. I would never….Stay away from black plastic!
I want that container for my cucumbers and tomatoes
You are so good.
I've been using the DoCred brand of these for a couple of years, growing raspberries in them to prevent them from spreading all over my yard. Not sure if the LineX are just a rebrand or a totally different product, but they are similar
People have been using these for decades….they just never got around to getting a patent and then sell them….homemade is vastly superior
Great idea if you can't lift things, maybe I'll get a couple in ten years or so LOL.
I have just harvested some of my Sweetcorn here in Thailand.
But it wasn't sweet at all, any ideas please.
Nice
My pepper plants would reach 30 to 36 inches and be fighting those tomatoes for space. I bought some citrus trees from Mckenzie farms based on your videos. I look forward to seeing more of your citrus videos.
Thank you for showing us these containers! I have already started my tomatoes and peppers and have transplanted them into grow bags just north of Austin, TX.
I bought one of these last year, after my son sent me photos of his. Last year I grew green beans up it. This year I'm going to plant a tomato in it. I leave mine outside, year round, without the wheels. I put it next to my planter boxes. I love it!
Those containers are really nice! If I had any money I would buy several of them! I love them. Please tell the company that I am very pleased with their product!
Curious why bagged potting mix was used rather than the less expensive home made mix as in other videos.
I wonnder how UV resistant they are? TX sun shows no mercy.
i remember from one of your videos before that you've mentioned you don't do or accept companies that sent you stuff or products to try but im glad you finally did. ive seen this type of product before but just hesitant to buy them but it does look sturdy and i like that you can just roll it away. ❤😊
i wanna see the progress of the tomatoes as the weather warms up. i always plant basil bedside my tomatoes or even marigolds
i love your coffee plants! we have a lot of trees in the city where i live in the Philippines & when we were a kid when the berries are ripe/red we pick them and eat them like that to extract the sweet juice of the seed
Just wonder can I grow tiny cucumbers in this wheeled trellis container?
Dope as heck!
wheels…a revolution in technology. who knew
This is probably my favorite YouTube garden channel, nothing but useful advise, deal alerts without selling anything. You do a fantastic job and there is Dale updates at the end of the videos.
You can use a dolly if you have grow bag's
You gotta pick them green and just put them in a box in the basement or something. I usually have tomatoes until dec/jan. Live in central md.
Looks good but this year's 3xperiment is to bury my containered plants with the pot so I can finish off the harvest inside, in the fall. My grow season is a bit short for some items.
I see you used top soil. When you bring in your plants into your house do you have a problem with fungus gnats ?
In my case, our house has a crawl space and not a slab on grade. So I have to go up and down three steps. I have about 30 peppers and tomatoes in 7 gallon grow bags. They're outside now but its forecast to go to 31 or 32 deg F in the coming week but then warming up again. As that's not severely cold I'm covering the plants with frost cloth to avoid bringing them in. If it gets colder before last frost I'll have to bring them in again. I also decided no more moving 15 gallon grow bags in and out.
Nice sharing and nice information 🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have seen these. Was wondering if they were worth the money. Will keep this video in mind when I start my new garden. Hi Dale 👋❤️ Thank you again for another informative video.
Where in N. J. are you from?
👍
Filthy far wright wing idiot
Just ordered one of the big ones. Not cheap, but at least we know you think it's sturdy and if it lasts a couple years it's well worth it for me. I have a patio off my kitchen upstairs, and my garden is downstairs on the other side of the house. The sun's much better on the patio though, and of course it'll be easier to pick some tomatoes from there.
I started my seedlings in the basement in an east facing window with grow lights enhancing it. Not the best, but it's doing the job. Now I have seedlings and have been bringing them upstairs and hardening them off on the patio with our 70 degree sunny days in ATL (I started in part shade), but now we'll have a freeze tonight. I was pleased yesterday because I have 7 small trays of seedlings and I found an old, plastic drawer set from a garage sale we had in the fall. each seed tray fit perfectly into the drawer set, allowing me to stack the seedlings just inside the kitchen for the night. Otherwise, they've been staying outside even overnight. I'm used to the hauling in and out and feel like most of us might be 🙂
This product looks to be made in China. Please tell me it isn't so. Thanks.
This isn't new, come on now…
What breed is Dale?
I really like that portable containers. I have a hard time rotation my pots the Sun rotate. This will work perfectly for me.
Oh, nice, and those would match my greenstalk towers.
Wow, I like your sunroom!
Live your videos. Your grammar is absolutely perfect. Love it.🌄🌅
Geeze enough commercials
I absolutely love your sunroom. Love those portable planters as well. That was a good review. Thank you for sharing your opinion on this specific brand. Mr. Dale was reading his newspaper hard. I’m glad he got to read some interesting articles.
The wheels look kind of dinky. I will wonder how they will roll once filled and in the sun and weathered for any length of time
I was looking at these online. Ty Anthony.
Still waiting on that spreadsheet of every plant variety you're growing this summer. Put it behind a paywall. 20 bucks!! I'm in!! 😜 I bet thousands of others would be as well. 😁
