Considering this for a Sub-Irrigated Planter, is it food grade plastic?

We use them for marinating meat for Bar-B-Q and for storing cole slaw in the cooler.

Yes it is plastic and SproutPeople.org says that it is BPA free on their website.

Yes it is. But beware that if you put a very heavy pot on the plant trolley, the plastic wheels won't hold up when you move the plant. I had a very heavy plant sitting on it, and the first time I moved the plant on the trolley, a wheel broke. I didn't move it more than six inches to sweep under it. It lasted only a couple of weeks. It is a nice looking trolley so if your plant isn't too heavy, it might work fine for you.

It is metal so therefore I am guessing it would be fine for that, but its not insulated so it will be HOT to touch. I used it for planters.

It's plastic and very easy to clean. Love it! I have two with lettuce, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers right now. I also have marigolds bordering the vegetables. No slug problems, planter is too high.

Heavy-duty plastic. I thought it was wood when I ordered it. Upon receipt I found it nicely suited to my needs. Will be planting it with cascading varieties so won't see the plastic except for shelves and legs. In long run, plastic will wear better and is light weight for moving. Shelf gives sturdiness. Shipped well and very easy to assemble. I bought three and all parts were received as well as manufactured with consistency. I am a senior gardener so height makes easier to tend. Comes with one drain hole but I had my husband drill extra holes.

We bought ours a month ago and installed a plant in a pot inside of it. The overgrowth tends to mask some of the planter. At a distance it is very rich looking. And even close up it is very nice. It should last a long time and withstand the weather. It has a raised screen drip pain inside however water did collect inside even though we checked with a soil moisture tester. It is like a resin feel. It is not cheap plastic looking.

Planter and shelf is made of a type of injection molded plastic. It is glossy and low maintance.

It is made out of resin, just like many other pots or planters. I would say the material feels like the same stuff they make coolers out of. I think the only downside to the planter is that you need to drill holes in the bottom for drainage. I would say it is safe to grow food in.

My guess is it would be...there's no metal, all plastic. I only use it as a portable water bowl for my dog.

No, I am really conscience about that stuff- the plastic seems to be a food grade density type. Only when I pour does it come in contact with the plastic spout. Very easy to clean, and cool to watch water boiling.

I used it on my tomato plants last year. Food grade is a higher grade, safe enough for gardens and pets.

Would that mean only water/nutrients? If so then the water would leak out of the lower levels. Each "planter" has a hole in the side at the bottom and then any excess from on top leaks into the next level.

My understanding is that there are different grades of stainless steel; they may not be food-quality. If you are consuming the food yourself, I suppose you could try it, but I would recommend finding sieves that are designed for food use. Edit: seeds may be fine, as long as they are not being consumed directly, and as long as the sieves aren't rusted at all. I am not particularly familiar with the effect of metals on plants but I would imagine as long as there is no long-term contact, it wouldn't be a problem.

Hello.Ask manufacturer if material is food safe.If good,fill with clean garden soil,or organic potting soil.Use organic amendments.

It is plastic. It is a thistle feeder and our squirrels don't bother it. Plus we have it situated so the few squirrels we do have don't bother struggling with it. The birds leave them plenty of sunflower seeds on the ground from the other feeder!
