I loved my first Farm system I ordered a second to stack on top for double the yield. The second Farm arrived promptly in excellent condition as did the additional stacking system necessary to stack the one Farm above the other — a very efficient use of overall space. The stacking system was mostly poorly made plastic that did not fit the bottom or top Farm systems well enough to connect the two Farms together at all. The top Farm was lopsided so the water in the reservoirs did not reach all root systems evenly requiring me to rotate plants often which I shouldn’t have to do.
I am disappointed with the poor “engineering” of the stacking system but have no available floor space for the second farm system so I hope rotating the plants will work — only time will tell.
I love that we have the ability to stack gardens so we have more things to grow. This is such an easy set to use to convert your garden into a stackable one. I highly recommend it!
very easy to set up and use. double stack is remarkably stable. could stand to add a compressible foam insert to tighten grip but easy enough to cut out an insert from thin (3 mm thick) styrofoam packing from elsewhere to use.
Had to add some metal straps to take up the excess space the "u" shaped piece had so the top and bottom wouldnt fall apart.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very well made, affordable, and easy to set up and use! We stacked a Farm Basic on top of a Farm XL and it’s very sturdy and looks great, like one wall filled system!
