We planted tomato seedlings in three tomato craters and all three grew taller and more fruitful than the previous year. We also noticed that the plants grew quicker when they were smaller (compared to last year w/o the TC) and we believe it is because of the warmer soil temperature from the round base and the improved soil moisture from the water-conserving design of the TC. We highly recommend the Tomato Crater. KB
These are probably among the easiest and most effective garden tools that you can use. They store easily, they install easily, they perform great--making it easy to water, keep out bugs and weeds and increase your yield with no chemicals. I only used them for my tomatoes this year, but next year, will use them for other plants as well. My tomatoes are in raised beds and they are thriving and full of fruit thanks to the craters!
Also - you can't beat the customer service at FLI. They are responsive, quick to ship and very customer centered. All in all, a great find.
The first photo below shows two of my plants just after planting and adding the craters. The other three are recent photos.
I just bought nine more craters, giving me a total of 30 craters that I use for my tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, and marigolds. I love them. They help water nicely, clean up and store nicely in the winter and best of all they go around the plant easily because they come in half and go back together easily. I use a drip irrigation system and put a drip emitter in to each side of the crater
I had prviously ordered a competing product. Finding the one I had purchase far less than satisfactory, I turned to the Internet. I ordered the FLI “Tomato Crater.’ I LOVE THEM. Sturdy, easy to use. As for the color, I have read that red light helps plants, especially young ones, grow. I can’t say I would have any way of knowing that. I DO RECOMMEND THEM.
Thank you for your review Samuel! Let's grow together!
I tried others and returned them. Flimsy and a third were covered with glued-on labels that were impossible to remove by any ordinary means. I looked further and finally found these at Tractor Supply. I knew if I ordered them there, they could be returned if I was not pleased. When I received them and saw their great quality, I was more than pleased - they were sturdy, easy to use, and had no obnoxious stuck-on labels. In fact, I have ordered more, this time from FLI and AT A SALE PRICE EVEN.
