The inner pot encourages vigorous root growth and higher yields. This system ensures no wastage of water or feed, no messy compost spills, and no sagging growbags, allowing for easy, precise watering and liquid feeding.
The Selections Tomato & Vegetable Growbag Pots are designed for home gardeners looking to cultivate healthier plants and achieve larger yields of tomatoes, aubergines, and chillies with minimal effort. This system provides a constant, precise supply of water and feed directly to the roots, preventing wastage and mess. A potential caveat is that the effectiveness relies on the quality and type of compost used.

FAQs
How many pots fit in one growbag?
Three Selections Growbag Pots are designed to fit into one standard compost bag.
What type of plants are these pots best for?
They are ideal for larger fruiting plants such as tomatoes, aubergines, chillies, and peppers.
How often do I need to refill the water trough?
The frequency depends on plant size and weather conditions, but check the trough daily and refill as needed.
Can I use these pots with regular soil?
These pots are specifically designed for use with compost bags. Using them with regular soil may affect their performance.
What is the capacity of the water trough?
The outer trough holds approximately four pints of water or liquid feed.
Do I need to water the compost from the top as well?
While the system provides a consistent sub-surface feed, an initial light watering of the compost may be beneficial to help establish the system.
Troubleshooting
Water not seeping into the compost
Ensure the compost is not too compacted. Check that the small holes in the inner pot are not blocked. Ensure the outer trough is filled sufficiently.
Plants appear to be drying out despite water in the trough
Verify the compost is making good contact with the inner pot's wicking material. The compost itself may be very dry initially, requiring more frequent top-ups until it's saturated.
Difficulty inserting pots into the compost bag
Slightly moisten the compost before insertion. Ensure the growbag is positioned on a stable surface.
