The ultimate easy-grow self-watering system
Introducing the Autopot
These brilliantly designed container gardens have the ‘smarts’ to automatically water and feed your plants on demand; without expensive pumps, complicated timers, or the cost of electricity.
Self Watering and Feeding
These gardens revolve around the patented Autopot tray and Autovalve combination so you’ll never have to hand water or manually fertilize your plants again. All Autopot requires is a generously-sized reservoir that keeps plants growing for weeks between refills. No electrical pumps or timers are required!
Here’s How it Works
Each Autopot module has its own Autovalve that automatically waters plants on demand when attached to a reservoir (required). In doing so, Auotpot technology simulate nature’s own rainfall cycle with the added benefit of putting the plant in control rather than the weather. Since the Autopot modules only provide water when necessary, the resulting wet/dry cycle promotes healthy root development with high levels of oxygen in the root zone.
The Autopot Easy2Grow Kit includes an Autovalve, 2 x 8.5 litre pots, 57.5 x 27cm tray, irrigation pipe and water filter.
Grow Almost Anything Anywhere
Since Autopots are completely portable you can grow a thriving vegetable, herb, or flower garden on your balcony, deck, or rooftop. You can even grow indoors next to a sunny window, or under grow lights. You can also grow anything from salad greens and kitchen herbs, to all sorts of flowers and fruits, including tomatos and cucumbers, and even watermelons if you have the space! The Autopot trays will support plants that grow up to 3 or 4 ft tall on their own. Plants that will grow larger should be supported from above with vine lines as in the case of greenhouse cucumbers and tomatoes.
What the public think of the Autopot
I saw them at the Eden Project and knew instantly that they were going to solve the problems of creating a self – watering green house. I had tried the timed “drip system” for two years in a row and the same problem occurred each year ….. A full grown tomato plant in “full swig” yes swig , needed far more water than the capsicums, aubergines, cucumbers, basil and herbs. You simply could not get enough adjustment to last the season. Some drowned and some dried … so the appeal of a flotation valve delivering just what a plant needed was too much for me. I decided to give it a go. After seeing the early results I decided to kit out the whole greenhouse. It is only small …. 10 X 8 but with high rounded eaves and it always produces enough crop for me to make all the Ratatouille and Pesto I need for the year. The difference this year was that the daily and sometimes twice daily chore of watering and checking was over! All I had to do was tend and pick and top up the tank with water and liquid food.
I have never had such huge aubergines, there have been enough bell peppers to stuff, Greek style, and the basil and coriander burgeoned like never before. Cucumbers were fantastic and the tomatoes did not split. All this was because they were each getting what they needed from the system rather that what I guessed they needed ….. Perfect!
It looked really neat and the most untidy thing about the greenhouse, were the redundant watering cans!! The whole thing has saved us hours of work this season. We have been able to go out in the evening without thinking that we have to water the greenhouse and we went away for two weeks in early May and three weeks in the summer, knowing that no-one would either over or under- water and that all neighbors had to do was to pick the produce …. They all like doing that!
Thank you Auto Pot. I will have many years of use from this innovative and very successful system …I’m hooked, and so are lots of my friends!
