Tomato Growpots – Water and Feed Tomatoes More Efficiently

These tomato growpots, also known as tomato halos, make growing tomatoes in pots and grow bags easier and more productive. The clever design delivers water and tomato food directly to the roots while helping protect plants from slugs.

Ideal for growing tomatoes in grow pots, grow bags or greenhouse containers, they can also be used for chillies, peppers and aubergines.

✔ Helps deliver water directly to the roots
✔ Encourages stronger root development
✔ Improves plant growth and tomato yields
✔ Suitable for grow bags, pots and greenhouse growing

Growing Tomatoes in Pots with Self Watering Growpots

Each growpot features an outer trough reservoir that holds approximately four pints of water or liquid feed. This water gradually seeps into the compost around the plant roots, providing a steady and consistent supply of moisture and nutrients.

The inner chamber works as a ring culture pot, encouraging roots to grow deeper into the compost. This supports healthier plants and helps prevent common problems associated with uneven watering when growing tomatoes in grow bags.

Tomato Grow Pots for Stronger Plants and Higher Yields

When growing tomatoes in grow bags or containers, roots can often struggle to access enough nutrients and water. Growpots help solve this by creating a controlled watering zone around the plant.

Additional compost can be placed around the outer chamber, giving roots more space to expand and access nutrients. This encourages vigorous growth and can help produce larger, healthier tomato crops.

Tomato Pots for Tomatoes and Other Crops

Although designed primarily for tomatoes, these growpots are also ideal for growing:

  • Chillies
  • Sweet peppers
  • Aubergines

The controlled watering system makes them particularly useful for greenhouse growing or patio container gardens.

Growpot Size and Grow Bag Compatibility

Each large plastic growpot measures:

  • 28cm diameter
  • 17.7cm height
  • Inner chamber diameter: 14.3cm
  • Inner chamber base diameter: 17cm

Three growpots can be spaced neatly into a single grow bag of compost, making them perfect for standard grow bag tomato growing.

Pots to Grow Tomatoes in Grow Bags or Soil

These tomato pots can be inserted directly into grow bags or used in garden soil depending on your setup. If you plan to move your grow bags later, placing them on a growbag tray makes handling much easier.

The pots are available in green and black and are made from 100% recycled plastic, making them durable and reusable for many growing seasons.

How To Use

Grow Bag: Only use a good quality grow bag. Loosen any compacted compost by shaking the bag. Lay bag flat and evenly distribute the compost.

Fitting the Grow Pots: Using a sharp knife, cut out and remove the plastic circles from the inside of the inner pots then apply downwards pressure and pierce the grow bag with the watering spikes.

Planting: Fill inner pot with similar compost as in bag, fill to level as shown. Hollow out the compost and place the plant within hollow. At this stage you could tuck support strings under the rootball or put canes in beside the plants. Water plant in the inner pot (Approx. 1 pint). Fill in the outer trough with water to the top (4 pints), leave to slowly saturate.

Watering:

-1. Ensure there are drain holes in the top half of the bag.
-2. For the first 2 weeks do not water outer trough, this will ensure a strong and healthy root system.
-3. For the next 3-4 weeks pour 2 pints in each outer trough every 2-3 days (preferably in the morning). But DO NOT let the inner pots compost dry out by watering once a week.
-4. Excess water will drain out from the drain holes in the bag, if this happens, do not water for a day.
-5. After 5-6 weeks your plants will send out secondary (water) roots and it will be necessary to increase the amount of water given to the outer trough. Once again, if excess water seeps out of the drain holes, miss watering for a day.

Tips: Normally with mature plants , on hot sunny days you should be filling up each outer trough every day. A simple check is to squeeze the grow bag at the drain hole end. If no water appears, fill up each outer trough.

Feeding: Any suitable liquid feed for the crop grown can be used, follow the manufacturers instructions supplied. Apply to the inner pot approx. 2 pints, normally sufficient for 1 week. If any surface roots appear in the inner pot, cover lightly with compost.

End of season: Remove plants and compost, wash and dry your grow pots and store for next seasons use.
