do you put the stake. up to the level. of the potting soil or below it?

push the stem/stake all the way into the soil. The top of the stem/stake should be level with the top of the soil. Do not put the globe into the soil.

You dig the pointed end into to soil. It makes kind of a big hole and can damage the roots a bit.

I put the ceramic stake all the way down in the potting soil with just the lip of the stake at the level of the soil. The neck of the globe fits into the stake and the round part of the globe rests on the lip. It works great!

The ground is the bottom, however I put down weed blocker on one and burlap under the other 2.I like the product and I had a great garden last season.

Stake comes to a point and you just shove it into the ground. It was very stable once in as the stake is very thick and round. Not some cheesy little stake..But it you intend to keep it in the ground or pot for long, you may want to spray the end of the stakes with some type of protect-ant so wood stake won't rot. I like my squirrel..

You push it into your ground with your feet. There is a place near the bottom of the stake to do so.

I did mine in the lawn but I would put down landscape fabric going up the insides to keep the dirt in as no cement is perfectly level.

You cut slit in the PAC , open the slit and lay it on the soil. For smaller pots I placed it in vertically instead of horizontally, I used to water 12 plants and Trees for 30+ days! Not one died or dried out. For big Trees I used 2.

If it is buried most of the way in the ground, you barely hear it. I actually like to hear it a little - to make sure it is working. If you don't put most of the stake in the ground it is a little louder - not really a beep but a vibration.

Make sure you have a good ground try wetting the soil around your ground stake.

I usually fill the pot with potting soil mix and compost up to about 1 or 2 inches from the top. You can just plant the tomato in the middle, maybe just allow the soil to slightly cover the soil line of the previous potting. If there was a lot of root circling the bottom of the previous container or be sure to trim the roots a little when you plant it.

Not sure exactly what you're asking; please elaborate a bit so I can answer to meet your need: By "underneath," do you mean to the bottom rung, or the under-the-top measurement at it's lowest setting, or set up as a scaffold?

I actually used potting soil because allegedly it has more nutrients but this year I'll go with bagged garden soil since it's cheaper. The good thing about planting in these pots is that there's less weeding to be done. A definite plus in my book!

I would dig out the area you want to put it in, removing any rocks, and place the legs in the hole. Then fill it in with bagged dirt, wetting the area down as you go along to insure settlement of the dirt, almost like planting a shrub. Ours is really sturdy and with the winds we have experienced this past summer, it never fell over, and it has a very big clematis growing on it at present. It is really sturdy.

I would do that but using small stones on bottom so there is some drainage for the soil to avoid saturation.

Hi,I have put both. Either one is appropriate. I wouldn't put the soil directly in the planter itself. Right now I have a round pot in my planter and have not encounter any problems. You will need at least a 10 inch pot. Hope this info was helpful and enjoy your planters because I am certainly enjoying mine.Carolyn B.

You can add as you go, but you need to fill all the openings on that level so that the soil is even and the roots are covered. this way the roots will not be disturbed when you add more. However don't wait to long to add or the plants in there may sprout runners from the top, if this happens you can use them to fill the next level of outlets. Happy planting :)

It's attached to a stake therefore needs to be placed either in the ground on in a flower pot.

I have mine installed in the dirt of a large planter with a bush in it. the pole comes in sections so I suspect if you want to put it in the ground you just take the bottom section, pound it into the ground and the add the other pole sections.
