How to Set-Up a Stack and Grow Mobile Herb Planter

Since I’m running the contest for the Stack and Grow Mobile Herb Planter I thought I’d show you how to set it up.

The set-up was a bit mess for me and potting soil got all over, but overall it was pretty simple. Here’s how you set it up:

  • Check all of the planting trays. One of them has a closed center. If you want to grow smaller plants, then put that tray at the top. If you want to grow a small tree or shrub, put that tray towards the bottom.
  • Place the cart down on a solid surface.
  • Put the wheels into the holes. You’ll have to force them in slightly and twist them.
  • Place the first planting tray on the cart. Align the holes and press it into place.
  • Fill the trays with potting soil and the ring that’s within each tray.
  • If you are transplanting, then insert your transplants. If you are starting from seed, continue to add more trays.
  • Add the next planting tray so that the planting pocket is between the two below it. Fill with potting soil and repeat.
  • After you have your planting trays added and filled with you soil, you can begin to sow your seeds.

The seeds that I decided to plant from bottom to top are:

  • Marigolds
  • Calendula
  • Parsley
  • Cilantro
  • Leaf lettuce in the top middle

The flowers are supposed to grow larger, which is why that I put them on the bottom. I also hope that these flowers are shallow rooted enough.

  5. well on the slim chance they give you trouble I’m going to have lots of baby flowers soon, probly extras too 🙂

  6. LOL…”However the hell it’s pronounced…”
    This thing is TOO COOL! Love that you can plant strawberries! Strawberries are definitely my #1 fruit I would love to start growing! 3.99 for Organic Strawberries is getting to be mucho dinero, especially since I love me some homemade smoothies = )

  8. Wow, that is cool, never saw that before. I love how it moves around. I could move it with the sun!!! If I won, my daughters and I would plant lots of strawberries in it or maybe some pretty annuals! Possibilities are endless!!

  10. Looks easy enough. Really want to try one of these for herbs and lettuce and spinach!! Thanks for the great info.

  17. 3.99 for organic strawberries shoot right now i’m paying that for just regular strawberries (no organic available around here)

  19. Thanks Mike. I think that i am growing sweetleaf/stevia and maybe chamomile(if they are easy to grow)…can’t ever seem to have enough of them…or maybe spearmint…
    Did you know that Cilantro together with Apple Pectin creates a natural detox? I havent verified this yet, but heard from a friend, a couple of days ago that this is so.

    Also I hear that Jasmine and Hibiscus have incredible health benifits…But I don’t know anything about growing them yet…ROSES, ROSES, ROSES are edible I hear (still researching) and rosehips are awesome for our body!
    And as an italian lover, oregeno, basil, parley…yum!
    I am working on creating the best italian sauce in the world. 😉
    Angel Blessings to all,

  21. Thanks Mike! What a cool invention for a container garden. I would plant herbs and flowers in one–parsley, cilantro, oregano, thyme, with some edible flowers like nastursiums. Thanks for the inspiration.
