The clever design ensures that soil does not end up in the reservoir but roots are able to grow out of the bottom of the cone and into the reservoir.

I’ve used it for several seasons and can recommend it as a reliable way to grow tomatoes – it is one of the best self watering planters on the market. Suttons also have a self watering planter for sale this season called the Self Watering Grow Pot Tower.I think that the Oasesbox is probably a little better than the Quadgrow for flexibility and ease of use – but best with a grow bag on top of three boxes. These often have a very limited water capacity but are good for plants that do not need a lot of water mid summer. It can be turned into a grow bag extension by placing a grow bag onto three Oases boxes slotted together. This keeps soil moist at all times, preventing many of the problems of dry soil and stress that infrequent watering causes. What are the features and benefits of the Quadgrow Planter? It can be a bit fiddly to set up but the results are worth the extra care needed to get it up and running.

There are many containers available that use an internal reservoir – from hanging baskets to window box planters. The Quadgrow self watering planter was the first serious reservoir system on the market for the hobby grower in the UK. Go here for more details of The Quadgrow Planter The Self Watering Grow Pot Tower In some respects, the Easy2Grow Autopot system is a self watering planter (from a tank through a valve) because it is the plants that decide when it’s time for more water. If you intend to grow ten or more plants, I think that the Autopot Easy2Grow System is probably the most suitable but it takes more time to set up and attention to operate. For growing a few plants the Oasesbox and the Quadgrow planters are excellent and both around the same price.One of the biggest problems with growing tomatoes, is when the soil dries out and plants are unable to take up nutrients. When the reservoir is filled with water and nutrients, a plant is able to take up water and nutrients whenever they are needed. Like the Oasesbox, it is also very good at growing tomatoes, peppers, chillies and other premium fruit and vegetables. Working on a wet to dry cycle, each pot sits in its own tray which is filled from a valve when the water in the tray has been used by the plant. It is a well made item and should last for many seasons if treated with care – put it in the shed during the winter.
