FAQs
What are the dimensions of the 60cm trough?
The product title specifies a 60cm length. Please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's website for exact width and height dimensions.
How often do I need to refill the reservoir?
Refill frequency depends on plant type, weather conditions, and plant size. Monitor the reservoir level and refill when it appears low, typically less often than traditional watering.
Can this trough be used indoors?
While designed for outdoor use and weather resistance, it can be used indoors. However, ensure a waterproof tray is placed underneath to protect surfaces from any potential water overflow or leakage.
What is the reservoir capacity?
The exact reservoir capacity is not specified in the provided product information. It is designed to reduce watering frequency, suggesting a substantial volume for its size.
Are the vertical gardening accessories included?
No, the drainpipe pot holders, wall brackets, and wire hangers for vertical gardening are sold separately.
What kind of plants are best suited for this trough?
This trough is suitable for a wide variety of plants, including flowers, herbs, and small vegetables, especially those that prefer consistent moisture.
Is the terracotta colour prone to fading?
The material is UV colour-stable, meaning it is designed to resist fading from sun exposure, ensuring the colour lasts longer outdoors.
Troubleshooting
Water draining too quickly from reservoir
Ensure the reservoir's wicking system is properly seated and making good contact with the soil. Check for any cracks or damage to the reservoir.
Plants appearing wilted despite reservoir
Check if the reservoir is empty and needs refilling. Ensure the soil is making good contact with the reservoir's moisture-delivery system.
Visible algae or mould growth
Clean the trough thoroughly with a mild soap and water solution. Ensure adequate sunlight and air circulation around the plant.
