Full details

For home gardeners looking to simplify and boost their tomato, chili, or aubergine yields, the Gardening Naturally Growpot Tomato Planter offers a convenient solution. Its innovative design provides a steady supply of water and feed directly to the roots, while also acting as a natural slug barrier. The primary caveat is that it's designed for specific plant types and requires a suitable growing medium like a grow bag or well-prepared soil.

FAQs

What is the main benefit of using these growpots?

The main benefit is the consistent, direct delivery of water and liquid feed to the plant's roots via the outer trough, promoting healthier growth and simplifying plant care. They also act as a slug barrier.

Can I use these pots for any type of plant?

They are specifically designed and most effective for larger fruiting plants like tomatoes, chilies, and aubergines. For smaller plants like strawberries, smaller 'mini growpots' are recommended.

How much water does the outer trough hold?

The outer trough holds approximately four pints (around 2.27 liters) of water or liquid feed.

How many growpots fit in a standard grow bag?

Three growpots can be spaced neatly into one standard grow bag.

Are the growpots made from recycled materials?

Yes, they are made from 100% recycled plastic and are also 100% recyclable at the end of their long lifespan.

Can I leave the plants in these pots permanently?

Yes, the pots are designed for long-term use throughout the growing season and can be reused for many seasons. They are durable and built to last.

What are the overall dimensions of one growpot?

Each growpot measures 28cm in diameter at the top and 17.7cm in height. The inner opening diameter is 14.3cm.

Troubleshooting

Plant appears wilted despite water in the trough

Ensure the compost around the roots is moist enough for the water to seep effectively. Check if the plant's roots have grown beyond the pot into the surrounding compost. Ensure the trough is correctly filled and the seepage holes are not blocked.

Slugs are still reaching the plant

Verify the growpot is correctly positioned and that the base is not submerged in standing water which slugs can navigate. Ensure there are no other accessible entry points for slugs around the plant base.

Water is not seeping from the trough

Check that the trough is filled and that the small seepage holes are clear of debris or compost. If the surrounding compost is very dry, it may take time for the water to start absorbing.

Growpot is difficult to insert into a grow bag

Ensure the grow bag is appropriately sized and that the compost within the bag is not overly compacted. Gently work the growpot into place.

Simplifies watering and feeding for container-grown plants.
Promotes healthier plant growth and potentially higher yields.
Offers effective protection against slug damage.
Made from durable, recycled, and recyclable materials.
Flexible use in grow bags or directly in the soil.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Placement: Decide whether to use the growpot in a grow bag or directly in the soil. For grow bags, place the pots within the bag before filling with compost. Ensure three pots fit neatly if using a single grow bag.
Planting: Add your chosen compost to the growpot and the surrounding area. Plant your seedling or young plant into the center of the growpot.
Watering: Fill the outer trough with water or liquid feed. The water will gradually seep into the compost, reaching the plant's roots.

Compatibility:

Crops: Ideal for tomatoes, chilies, aubergines, and peppers. Mini growpots are recommended for strawberries.
Growing Medium: Compatible with standard grow bags and well-prepared garden soil.
Size: The pot measures 28cm in diameter and 17.7cm in height. The inner opening is 14.3cm, and the inner chamber base is 17cm, allowing easy placement into grow bags.

Care:

Cleaning: After the growing season, empty the pots and clean them with water. A soft brush can be used for stubborn residue. Avoid harsh detergents.
Storage: Store the clean, dry pots in a protected area, such as a shed or garage, to prolong their lifespan.
Maintenance: Inspect for any damage before reuse. The durable plastic is designed for multiple seasons.
