Product Showcase British-made planters to banish summer watering woes Visit our stand to see how we’ve got summer watering covered.

Erratic watering is the cause of most gardeners’ problems – but our Quadgrow , Chilligrow and Duogrow planters keep plants perfectly fed and watered for 2 weeks at a time, resulting in 2x bigger harvests.

These planters have FeederMats and SmartReservoirs which maintain perfect moisture levels around the roots. When the soil starts to dry out, the FeederMats pull water from the SmartReservoir into the soil around the roots - precisely where the plants need it. The result is more air around the roots which means the roots are more effective at taking-up water and nutrients and they produce bigger harvests more quickly. For longer holidays, we also have our Lola Holiday Watering Kits, which keeps plants watered for an additional 14 days.

New: GardenPop Instant Veg Kits for patios and balconies The perfect way to get beginners growing. These colourful kits include everything for growing veg from seed to harvest on a patio, balcony or conservatory.

No need to transplant - roots grow through the sides of the seed starter discs and seedling pots as they are made from coconut fibre! Because the roots are never disturbed, they grow more quickly and are stronger, healthier and produce more fruit.

Greenhouse Sensation

Summer Watering Woes Banished No more thirsty tomatoes or parched peppers Split tomatoes, parched peppers, wilting leaves and blossom end rot are no more thanks to Greenhouse Sensation’s British designed and made Quadgrow, Chilligrow and Duogrow planters.

Erratic watering is the cause of most gardeners’ problems – but our Quadgrow , Chilligrow and Duogrow planters keep plants perfectly fed and watered for 2 weeks at a time, resulting in 2x bigger harvests.

The Quadgrow and Duogrow are ideal for tall cropping plants including peppers, tomatoes, aubergines, beans and peas, while the Chilligrow is perfect for chillies and herbs.

The SmartReservoirs keep plants watered for up to 14 days, even during the height of summer in a hot greenhouse. FeederMats pull water from the SmartReservoir into the soil around the roots, exactly when and where the plants need it without ever sitting the plants in water. Plants grow faster and healthier, and produce 2x bigger harvests as the planter responds to the needs of the plants much more accurately than hand-watering.

No more holiday watering rotas, no panics because of forgotten watering sessions, and definitely no disappointing harvests caused by erratic watering.

Garden Answers called the Quadgrow “the answer to most gardeners’ prayers.”

Greenhouse Sensation Instant Veg Kits Growing kits for beginners

GardenPop Instant Veg Kit – Patios and Balconies The GardenPop Instant Veg Kit is the brightest, boldest and easiest way to grow veg on patios and balconies.

It includes everything for growing mini aubergine, green beans and sweet peppers from seed to harvest in any small sunny space!

Now for the clever part – the starter discs and hairy seedling pots are made from the fibre of coconut shells, so when the roots grow through the sides, the whole plant (pot-and-all) is popped straight into the final pot! There’s no fiddly transplanting to worry about. The seeds are all dwarf varieties so no complicated supports or frames are required and they are all suitable for growing outdoors in the British climate.

Perfect for patios and balconies.

Naked Herbs Kit – complete herb kit Home-grown herbs in 6 weeks! No need to transplant seedlings, as roots grow through the seed discs and hairy seedling pots – just replant and add compost. The result is healthier plants that grow quickly, as the roots are never disturbed.

The final planting pots are made from the inedible shells of rice and other cereals, and the plants are marked out using the slate-look plant labels made in Cornwall from recycled plastic cups. The kits also include a novice-proof guide making them perfect for people that are new to growing.

Summer Watering Woes Banished Hose-Pipe Ban Friendly Irrigation for Growbags, Raised Beds and Veg Plots Keeping grow bags, raised beds and allotments irrigated just got less time consuming and more water efficient thanks to the Click & Drip. This British-made irrigation kit keeps veg plots and growbags watered with so little waste that it can be used during hose-pipe bans.

There’s no more traipsing to and from the tap with a heavy watering can to save water. The Click & Drip simply clicks onto a tap or waterbutt and releases water slowly so it soaks to the roots rather than running off or evaporating. The dripper holes are spaced a veg friendly 30cms apart and the kit’s 5 metres of non-drip pipe carries water from the tap to the plants without wasting a drop.

The optional digital timer allows watering frequency and duration to be controlled down to the second and a clever sensor skips a watering when it’s raining. So that’s droughts and periods of incessant rain covered.

Blockages from limescale are prevented thanks to the kit’s filter and a clever design means the pipe can be covered by mulch or soil without blocking. Optional extension kits make it easy to connect individual raised beds or growbags without wasting water and because the Click & Drip moistens only the soil and not the leaves, the risk of fungal problems is significantly reduced. It all adds up to fuss-free, effective and efficient watering.

Available for raised beds, veg plots and grow bags.

From £25.00 - ENDS Click & Drip- ‘No fuss’ watering for raised beds, borders and veg plots.

Price: From £25.00.

Size: 10 metres or 15 metres with extensions available.

Mains Kit: Water is released at a rate of 1 Litre per drip hole per hour.

Water butt Kit: Water is released at a rate of 180 ml per drip hole per hour from a 100 litre waterbutt.
