The automated features on this Tier 4 ladder work flawlessly once put together. However, the instruction manual was a bit sparse on details, requiring some trial and error. Now that it is running, my herbs are absolutely thriving!
As I have gotten older, bending down to tend to ground-level crops has gotten harder. This ladder system brings everything up to a comfortable height, and the automation handles the heavy lifting of watering. I only wish the power cord was a foot or two longer.
The structure itself is very solid and the four tiers hold a surprising amount of weight. Unfortunately, I had some trouble with the auto-feed line leaking initially until I adjusted my water pressure. It is working fine now, just required some extra DIY tweaking.
