    I can’t believe this list doesn’t include the GreenStalk Vertical Planter! It’s cheaper than the other non-DIY options and it’s way easier than a Tower Garden or Garden Tower 2. I love my GreenStalks!

      Since GreenStalk towers start at $150, I don’t see how it is cheaper than many of the options provided.
