Product Information

Full details

The Gardening Naturally Growpot is designed for home gardeners seeking a simpler, more productive way to grow tomatoes, chillies, and aubergines in pots or grow bags. Its key benefit is providing a steady, direct supply of water and nutrients to the plant's roots while simultaneously acting as a natural barrier against slugs. A minor consideration is the specific dimensions, which best fit standard grow bags.

FAQs

What is the primary benefit of using the Growpot?

The Growpot simplifies watering and feeding by delivering moisture and nutrients directly to the plant's root zone, while also acting as a protective barrier against slugs.

Can I use this for plants other than tomatoes?

Yes, the Growpot is also excellent for growing chillies, aubergines, and peppers. For strawberries, it is recommended to use the 'mini growpots'.

How many Growpots fit in a standard grow bag?

Three Growpots fit comfortably into a single standard grow bag, optimizing space.

How much water does the outer trough hold?

The outer trough holds approximately four pints (about 2.25 liters) of water or liquid feed.

What are the dimensions of the Growpot?

Each pot measures 28cm in diameter at the top and 17.7cm tall. The inner opening diameter is 14.3cm, and the base diameter of the inner chamber is 17cm.

Are the Growpots environmentally friendly?

Yes, they are made from 100% recycled plastic and are fully recyclable, designed for repeated use season after season.

How do I clean the Growpots?

Clean them at the end of the season with mild soap and water. Ensure they are dry before storing.

Troubleshooting

Water not seeping into compost

Ensure the compost is moist enough to absorb water. Check that the outer trough is not blocked and is filled adequately. Gently poke holes in the compost around the inner chamber to improve aeration.

Plants appear wilted despite water in the trough

Check for root-bound conditions. The plant may need repotting or a larger container if not in a grow bag. Ensure the plant's roots are reaching the moist compost zone.

Slug damage still occurring

While the Growpot provides a barrier, very determined slugs may still reach plants. Consider additional slug deterrents if severe infestation is present. Ensure the trough is consistently full to maintain the barrier.

Growpot feels unstable

Ensure the base of the inner chamber is firmly seated in the compost or grow bag. If placing in soil, make sure the surrounding soil is compacted adequately around the base.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies watering and feeding, delivering directly to roots.
  • Promotes significantly stronger root systems for better plant health.
  • Acts as an effective physical barrier against slugs.
  • Maximizes space efficiency when used in grow bags.
  • Made from sustainable, recycled materials and built for longevity.

Cons

  • Requires regular refilling of the water trough.
  • Best suited for specific crops like tomatoes, peppers, and aubergines.
  • May require a tray if the grow bag needs to be moved frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. If using a grow bag, position three Growpots neatly within the bag, spaced evenly.
  2. If planting directly into the soil, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the inner chamber and outer trough.
  3. Add compost to the inner chamber and around the base of the plant.
  4. Fill the outer trough with water or liquid feed.

Compatibility:

  • Ideal for tomatoes, chillies, aubergines, and peppers.
  • Compatible with standard grow bags (three pots per bag).
  • Can be used directly in garden soil.
  • *Note: For strawberry plants, use the smaller 'mini growpots'.*

Care:

  • Clean the pots thoroughly at the end of each growing season using mild soap and water.
  • Ensure the pots are dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
  • Made from durable, recycled plastic, they are built for repeated use.
