FAQs

How does the self-watering system work?

The system utilizes a reservoir at the bottom of the VegTrug that supplies water to the plant roots through capillary action.

What kind of plants can I use with this kit?

The kit is suitable for most plants that thrive in well-drained soil and require consistent moisture, such as herbs, vegetables, and flowers.

How often do I need to refill the reservoir?

The frequency depends on the plant type, size, and environmental conditions. Monitor the water level indicator to determine when to refill.

Can I use fertilizer with this kit?

Yes, you can add fertilizer to the water when you refill the reservoir using the included tube funnel.

What materials is the self-watering kit made of?

The kit is made of durable plastic.

Is the kit easy to clean?

What is the guarantee?

The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Water level indicator not moving

Check if the reservoir has water. Refill if necessary. Ensure the connection between the reservoir and the indicator isn't blocked.

Plants appear dry despite the reservoir being full

Check for root rot, ensure the soil is not compacted, making it difficult for the roots to reach the water, or the plant has outgrown the kit.

Water leaking from the planter

Ensure the VegTrug planter is properly sealed. Check for cracks in the reservoir or the connected tube.
