Product Information
Full details
This Selections Tomato Growbag Watering Pot Kit is for gardeners seeking to cultivate strong, healthy plants and achieve abundant yields, particularly for tomatoes, aubergines, and chillies. Its key benefit is providing a consistent, efficient water and feed supply directly to plant roots, minimizing waste and mess. A potential caveat is that it requires a standard compost bag for optimal setup, and it is designed to fit three pots per bag.

FAQs
What size growbag is this kit designed for?
This kit is designed to fit standard rectangular growbags, typically those around 50 litres in volume.
Can I use this for plants other than tomatoes?
Yes, it is suitable for other fruiting plants that benefit from consistent watering, such as aubergines, peppers, and chillies.
How much water can the trough hold?
Each outer trough is designed to hold approximately four pints (about 2.27 litres) of water or liquid feed.
Do I need to water from the top as well?
Initially, you may need to water the top of the compost to ensure it's moist enough for the water to start seeping from the trough. Once established, the trough should provide sufficient hydration.
How often should I refill the water trough?
The frequency depends on weather conditions and plant size. Check the trough daily during hot weather and refill as needed. In cooler conditions, it may last several days.
What is the purpose of the planting guard and interlocking mat?
The planting guard helps protect young plants, and the interlocking mat assists in maintaining the structure and free-draining environment around the pots within the growbag.
How do I clean the pots after use?
Clean the pots with water and a soft brush to remove soil. Ensure they are dry before storing to prevent mold or damage.
Troubleshooting
Water is not seeping into the compost.
Ensure the trough is filled with water and the compost is not overly compacted. Check that the serrated base has made a clean cut and is in full contact with the compost bag.
Plants appear wilted despite water in the trough.
Verify that the water is indeed seeping into the compost. The compost may be too dry initially, or the roots may not have established sufficiently to draw up moisture effectively. Try manually watering the top of the compost to encourage initial saturation.
Compost spills during setup.
Ensure the cuts made by the serrated base are clean and precise. Avoid overfilling the inner pots with compost before planting; fill to just below the rim.
Growbag structure seems compromised.
The kit is designed to maintain the growbag's structure. Ensure the pots are correctly positioned and the serrated base is properly integrated into the bag.
