I decided to use this on my deck for my strawberries because weeding became impossible and the berries were multiplying everywhere in my garden. In the spring, I had just started moving some berries to these pots. I had 2.5 full, then deer broke into my garden and decimated at least 100 of my plants. They had already flowered. These were June berries. At least got some moved and they have since multiplied and filled up the rest of the planter. I may buy another for more berries because this worked out very well since they have short roots. I also planted leeks in one of the sections before the berries multiplied. Now it's a little crowded, but the leeks will be coming out soon. If I can set the new unit up as a strip vs. u-shape, then I can fit it on my deck and plant more short-rooted plants. I am very happy with this because it's not too tall, so I'm not wasting a lot of potting mix for plants with short roots. By the way, the one I received is not brown. It's a dark purple color. That's okay with me. Each compartment is separated by only a plastic strip. You can't separate them with panels, there aren't enough. The panels are only on the outside. The main complaint I have is assembly and instructions. The instructions are minimal and don't explain anything. They need to list the enclosed parts and specify which parts get setup first. I had to take it apart when I realized I hadn't inserted the connecting hose for the self-watering bottoms. You have to make sure you have the posts set up with the correct sides for sliding the other posts. Sometimes they are difficult to slide down and attach. Try to think ahead before you rush to assemble, since the directions are lousy. I can't find an instructional video. I think you can ask questions here if you get stuck. Hope this helps. I'm attaching 2 pics. Sorry for the backlit sun. (Flash wasn't strong enough.)
