    Answer This Question

    Where is the drain hole located? I think it is clogged and I need to clear it but it is already full of potting mix so I can’t lift it or turn it upside down.

    Answer This Question

    I know it's been a while since you asked, but the drain holes are on either side a couple inches up from the bottom. They allow you to fill the bottom but any more than what is intended drains out of the side holes so there can never be too much water.

      Why are my tomatoes rotting on the bottom
      ByAug 7, 2025

      Answer This Question

      That is difficult to answer, there is a number of things that can lead to unhealthy plants. But if you are setting up the box as directed and using quality potting mix and the correct amount of fertilizer keep the water topped off and give full sun.

        It’s called Blossom end rot, and it is caused by a calcium deficiency in your soil.

          Is it normal for the box to leak from one of the casters? It only started doing this within the last day or so. Mine is leaking from only one. At this rate, I will be constantly filling the reservoir with water which will immediately start leaking out.

          Maybe your box isn’t leveled so it’s leaning more to that corner, causing it to leak out that side

          By|Mar 18, 2026

            Once it leaks the resivor is filled stop! I'm

            By|May 26, 2025

              No, if it is leaking from the caster there is a crack or hole. The water should only be going out the drain holes on the side.

                I have 3 others just like it. I use them to grow my tomatoes and peppers on my deck so the deer can’t eat them. These little grow boxes are great
                by
                Bought my second one this year! Perfect for the front covered porch. Planted four tomatoes in my one from last year. Little tight but they did great! Deep enough that the roots could grow. I had tomatoes all summer and so convenient to just go out my door to take care of and gather. Love them! Great quality!

                I purchased 3 zucchini plants. Two are in my City Picker; one in a regular pot. After 3 weeks the one in the pot is at least 3 times larger than the ones in the City Picker. Would not recommend.

                Great system
                I've used two of these planters for several years and love them. I've grown tomatoes and greens in them and they work great. You do have to monitor the water level and water accordingly. In the heat of the summer, large plants may need to be watered several times a day. I've also used Earthboxes and made my own sub irrigated planters. I like the City Pickers for smaller plants. The downsides of the City Picker are the thinner plastic and smaller water reservoir. But the 20 x 24 " planting area is nice compared to the more narrow Earthbox. Unless your materials are free/really cheap or you want a different size, City Pickers is a great way to go if you value your time. I always apply the dolomtic lime as recommended. I've tried various fertilizers. So far my favorite has been Back to the Root Organic. It basically turns into compost so you don't have to scoop out much the following year. After the first few months of the growing season, I usually apply some calcium nitrate or Jack's water soluble once a week in the water. I've been using landscape cloth and tucking it down between the potting mix and side of the container. That works well. I have added a layer of 1 inch chicken wire flat over the landscape cloth to keep the squirrels from digging.

                  You won’t believe the yield!
                  I’ve owned these planters for years. This year’s tomato yield is incredible! I plant ONE sun sugar cherry tomato in each of my two City Pickers planters after preparing the planter following the suggested layering of potting mix, lime, and fertilizer. I zip tie a plastic cover to the top, and keep the water reservoir full. Right now, I need to water both morning and evening and I pick a couple of lbs of tomatoes every other day. I love these planters.

                    They work great and grow tons
                    In 2015 I bought 9 of these. I am still using them. I found they can grow even more than they say. I had a dozen okra plants in one. Commonly put 4 bell pepper plants eggplants, and such to a box (adding some basil and chives around the edges. I had the tomatoes on my porch. They proceeded to support themselves with the porch post and climbed all the way up to my roof gutter. It is important that you used the potting mix they say to use. It is important that you check the water supply every day. I bought several thin wooden dowels, filled up the water, stuck the dowel in the fill tube, and marked the dowel where full was on it. That way I could check with the dowel to see if it needed water or not. Having a constant water supply makes things grow amazingly.

                      I love my City Pickers Grow Box! I bought my first one 2 years ago, in 2022, and I have now bought a 2nd one and need a 3rd! The fact that they have a water reservoir and wheels are the best features of this box. It still works great after 2 growing seasons and is ready for a 3rd. I use it on my elevated deck and can move it around as necessary - into the sun and off the side when we need more room for guests.
