What we liked

  • + Each box is 16 inches long and 5.9 inches wide and deep, which the listing says gives roots room for herbs, peppers or small strawberries.
  • + Pre-drilled drainage holes in every box help keep soil from sitting wet, a useful feature on a balcony where runoff is a worry.
  • + Hooks detach, so the boxes can hang on a rail or fence or sit on a table, and three come in the pack.

Trade-offs

  • - The 5.9 inch depth is shallow for larger vegetables, so it suits herbs and trailing flowers better than tomatoes.
  • - Hooks are sized for typical rails, so check your railing width against the listing before ordering.
