Growing tomatoes in containers is a practical method for gardeners working with limited space. Whether you're using grow bags, pots, or raised beds, the right tools can make all the difference.
That’s where Growpots,also known as tomato watering pots or tomato halos come in. These specially designed pots help deliver water and nutrients efficiently, supporting strong plant growth and healthy fruit production.
What Are Growpots?
Growpots are tomato-specific growing accessories designed to be used in containers or directly in the soil. Each unit has two main parts:
-
An inner ring culture chamber, which promotes deep root development.
-
An outer watering trough, which holds up to 4 pints of water or liquid feed that gradually soaks into the compost.
This system ensures the plant receives a consistent supply of moisture right at the roots—minimising waste and improving overall plant health.
Benefits of Using Growpots for Tomato Growing
When you're growing tomatoes in pots or grow bags, keeping moisture levels steady is one of the biggest challenges. Growpots help solve this by:
-
Directing water and feed to the root zone, where it's needed most.
-
Reducing surface evaporation, so less water is wasted.
-
Encouraging strong root systems, which support healthy growth and better yields.
Because the inner ring holds compost separately, it also improves soil structure and drainage around the base of the plant key for preventing problems like blossom end rot and fruit splitting.
How to Use Growpots in Grow Bags and Containers
Growpots are simple to set up:
-
Place the growpots into your grow bag or raised bed.
-
Press the inner spikes down through the grow bag to anchor them.
-
Fill the inner ring with compost.
-
Water into the outer trough, which gradually feeds moisture into the root zone.
A standard tomato grow bag can hold three growpots comfortably. They’re also suitable for aubergines and chillies, making them a flexible option for container gardening.
Ideal for Small Spaces and Greenhouses
Whether you're gardening on a balcony, patio, or in a greenhouse, Growpots allow you to grow tomatoes in tight spaces without compromising on plant health. Their compact design fits neatly into containers and raised beds while offering the depth needed for proper root development.
For smaller crops like strawberries, mini growpots are a great alternative with the same watering benefits.
