FAQs

How many grow pots fit in a standard grow bag?

Three Gardening Naturally Growpot Tomato Growing Pots fit comfortably into a single standard grow bag of compost.

Can these pots be used directly in garden soil?

Yes, they can be used either placed directly into garden soil or within grow bags.

What other crops can be grown in these pots?

In addition to tomatoes, they are excellent for growing aubergines, peppers, and chilies.

How much water does the trough hold?

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

Are these grow pots made from recycled materials?

Yes, they are produced from 100% recycled plastic and are built for repeated use season after season.

What are the dimensions of the grow pot?

Each pot measures 28cm in diameter and 17.7cm tall, with an inner opening diameter of 14.3cm and an inner chamber base diameter of 17cm.

Can I use these for strawberry plants?

For strawberry plants, it is recommended to use Gardening Naturally's mini growpots, as they are specifically designed for smaller plants.

Troubleshooting

Plant appears wilted despite water in the trough.

Ensure the compost is making good contact with the water seeping from the trough. Loosen the top layer of compost slightly if it has become compacted. Check that the inner chamber is adequately filled with compost.

Water is not seeping into the compost.

Verify that the trough is filled with water. Check for any blockages in the small holes where water is meant to seep out. Gently clear any obstructions with a small tool.

Slugs are still reaching the plant.

While the design offers a barrier, ensure the trough is consistently filled and that no bridges (like fallen leaves) are forming between the plant and the surrounding soil or bag.

Growpot feels unstable.

Ensure the growpot is placed on a level surface. If using in soil, make sure the soil is firm around the base of the pot for stability.
