You go away for the weekend, or a heatwave arrives midweek, and the tomatoes in pots are the first to suffer. Containers dry out far faster than open ground, and a plant that's wilted badly a few times rarely forgives you. The Garland Self Watering Grow Pot Tower takes the edge off that. It holds 11 litres of compost, keeps 4 litres of water in reserve beneath the roots, and comes with a 1.5m support frame built in. It's a complete growing station for one tall, thirsty plant, and you can see at a glance when it needs topping up. \u003ch6\u003eWhat is the Garland Self Watering Grow Pot Tower?\u003c\/h6\u003e It's a self-watering container and plant support in one. The pot has an 11 litre planting capacity with an easy-fill 4 litre water reservoir underneath. A float indicator shows how much water is left. A sturdy aluminium frame, 1.5m high with four support rings, slots securely into the pot, giving tall plants something to grow up from day one.\n\nBoth the pot and the frame have an anchor point for an optional central bamboo cane, for extra support with heavier crops. The cane isn’t supplied. The pot is made from 100% recycled, BPA-free plastic, and the tower assembles in minutes.\n\nThis version is green, which blends quietly into planting on the patio, in the greenhouse or on the allotment. It’s also available in red and anthracite.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eWho makes it?\u003c\/h6\u003e Garland Products is a British garden products manufacturer based in Kingswinford in the West Midlands. Its range covers propagation, patio growing, plant supports, watering and garden tidying. The company manufactures in the UK and makes extensive use of recycled plastic across its range. \u003ch6\u003eHow does a self-watering pot work?\u003c\/h6\u003e A self-watering pot keeps a store of water in a reservoir beneath the compost. Instead of relying entirely on watering from above, the plant draws on this reserve as the compost dries. That gives the roots a steadier supply of moisture between top-ups.\n\nWith the Grow Pot Tower, you fill the reservoir through the easy-fill system. The float indicator rises and falls with the water level, so you can see when it’s getting low without lifting the pot or poking a finger into the compost.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eWhy does consistent watering matter?\u003c\/h6\u003e For many fruiting crops, how regularly you water matters as much as how much. Tomatoes are the classic example. Irregular watering, where compost swings between bone dry and soaking wet, is linked to blossom end rot, which shows as dark, sunken patches at the base of the fruit. It also contributes to fruit splitting.\n\nPeppers, chillies and aubergines also do better with steady moisture, and sweet peas flower more freely when they’re never allowed to dry out. A reservoir under the compost helps smooth out the peaks and troughs, especially on hot days or when you can’t water as often as you’d like.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eWhat can I grow in the Grow Pot Tower?\u003c\/h6\u003e Garland suggests tomatoes, peppers and sweet peas, and the combination of an 11 litre pot and a 1.5m frame suits plenty of other tall or climbing plants too:\n\nCordon or bush tomatoes, one plant per pot.\n\nSweet peppers and chillies, which appreciate the support as fruit develops.\n\nAubergines, which can become top-heavy when laden with fruit.\n\nSweet peas, several plants trained around the rings.\n\nAnnual climbers such as morning glory, black-eyed Susan (thunbergia) and climbing nasturtiums.\n\nCucamelons and other small climbing edibles.\n\nFor the best results, grow one larger crop such as a tomato, pepper or aubergine per pot. Climbers like sweet peas can be grown several to a pot.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eHow do I set up the Grow Pot Tower?\u003c\/h6\u003e Assembly takes just a few minutes. Slot the aluminium frame sections together and into the pot. Garland notes that the metal poles are a tight fit and need to be tapped firmly into place. Once fully built, the tower should feel rigid, sturdy enough that you could lift the whole unit by one pole. If it feels wobbly, tap the poles home more firmly.\n\nThen:\n\nFill the pot with a good quality multipurpose or container compost. Peat-free compost works well.\n\nPlant your seedling or young plant, firming the compost gently around it.\n\nWater well from the top to settle the compost around the roots.\n\nFill the reservoir through the easy-fill point, and check the float indicator.\n\nIf you’re growing a heavy-cropping plant, push a bamboo cane into the central anchor point for extra support.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eHow do I train plants on the frame?\u003c\/h6\u003e The four rings give you tie-in points at different heights as the plant grows. For a cordon tomato, tie the main stem loosely to the rings or the central cane as it grows, and pinch out side shoots in the usual way. For peppers and aubergines, the rings support the branches as fruit develops.\n\nFor sweet peas and other climbers, guide the young shoots up the frame and tie them in loosely until they start to grip by themselves. Leave a little slack in every tie so stems have room to thicken.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eDo I still need to water from the top?\u003c\/h6\u003e Yes, sometimes. Water from the top when you first plant, to settle the compost and get the roots established. After that, the reservoir does most of the work, but an occasional top-up from above helps keep the whole root zone moist, particularly in very hot weather or once the plant is large and growing strongly. \u003ch6\u003eHow often should I fill the reservoir?\u003c\/h6\u003e It depends on the weather, the size of the plant and where the pot is standing. A young plant in spring may take days to use 4 litres. A large tomato in full fruit on a hot summer afternoon can use a surprising amount in a single day. Check the float indicator regularly, and top up whenever the level is low. \u003ch6\u003eDo plants in self-watering pots still need feeding?\u003c\/h6\u003e Yes. Compost in a container has a limited store of nutrients, and fruiting crops are hungry. Once tomatoes, peppers and aubergines start to flower and set fruit, feed them regularly with a liquid high-potash feed, following the instructions on the pack. Sweet peas also benefit from feeding through the flowering season. \u003ch6\u003eWhere should I put it?\u003c\/h6\u003e Most of the crops this tower suits love sun and warmth. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot such as a south-facing patio, against a warm wall, on a balcony or in the greenhouse. A tall plant on a 1.5m frame catches the wind, so avoid very exposed spots. In breezy positions, use the central cane for extra stability and consider standing the pot against a wall. \u003ch6\u003eWhy recycled plastic?\u003c\/h6\u003e The pot is made from 100% recycled plastic, giving material that already exists a second life rather than using new plastic. It's also BPA-free, which matters to many growers using containers for food crops. \u003ch6\u003eLooking after the Grow Pot Tower\u003c\/h6\u003e At the end of the season, remove the plant and compost, which can go on the compost heap unless the plant was diseased. Empty the reservoir completely, especially before frosts, since water left standing can freeze and expand. Rinse the pot, wipe down the frame, and store everything somewhere dry until spring.\n\nBefore replanting, give the pot a scrub to remove old compost and reduce the risk of carrying pests and diseases into the new season.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h6\u003e How much compost does it hold? It has an 11 litre planting capacity.\n\nHow big is the water reservoir?\nThe reservoir holds 4 litres.\n\nHow tall is the support frame?\nThe aluminium frame is 1.5m high, with four support rings.\n\nIs a bamboo cane included?\nNo. The pot and frame have an anchor point for an optional central cane, which isn’t supplied.\n\nWhat is it made from?\nThe pot is made from 100% recycled, BPA-free plastic, and the frame is aluminium.\n\nWhy does my tower feel wobbly?\nThe poles are a tight fit and need to be tapped firmly into place. Once fully assembled, it should feel rigid.\n\nWhat colours is it available in?\nGreen, red and anthracite.","brand":"Garland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47618699329874,"sku":"5031670003690","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/6260\/9746\/files\/self-watering-grow-pot-tower-vertical-garden-system-in-green-red-and-anthracite-grey-garland-self-watering-grow-pot-g195gr-5031670003690-garland-shop-now-at-all-4479623.jpg?v=1769031911"},{"product_id":"bean-pea-net-1-8m-6-x-1-8m-6","title":"Bean \u0026 Pea Net – 1.8m x 1.8m Tangle-Free Support Mesh | Garland","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"425\" class=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"379\" data-end=\"425\"\u003eSupport your climbers the sustainable way.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"427\" data-end=\"683\" class=\"\"\u003eLooking for a strong, natural alternative to plastic netting?

Dig The Glove's Country Cord range solves that specific problem: a hardwearing corduroy fabric engineered not to stiffen when it gets wet, giving you the soft, tactile feel of cord without the usual trade-off. \u003ch6\u003ePadded palm for tough or repetitive tasks\u003c\/h6\u003e The palm carries genuine padding, giving extra cushioning to protect hands during tough or repetitive tasks. This isn't a token layer; it's built to absorb the kind of sustained pressure and vibration that comes from extended digging, raking, or handling tools for a long session, reducing the fatigue that builds up in the palm over time. \u003ch6\u003eElastane-rich backs for a proper fit\u003c\/h6\u003e The backs of the gloves are elastane-rich, enhancing the fit so the glove moves with your hand rather than sitting rigid across the knuckles. Combined with the corduroy's natural softness, that stretch is what keeps this glove comfortable over a full session rather than something you're keen to peel off after twenty minutes. \u003ch6\u003eTwo-way stretch mesh between the fingers\u003c\/h6\u003e Between the fingers, a two-way stretch mesh does two jobs at once: it helps keep hands cool during warmer sessions, and it improves dexterity by letting your fingers move independently rather than being bound together by stiff fabric. It's a small construction detail that makes a real difference to how usable the glove feels once you're actually gripping a trowel or handling small plants. \u003ch6\u003eA wrist strap that actually keeps debris out\u003c\/h6\u003e Rather than a simple elasticated cuff, this glove uses a proper wrist strap with a hook-and-loop fastening, easy to open and close, that ensures a snug fit and stops debris dropping into the glove. That adjustability is genuinely useful: you can tighten it down properly on a bigger job involving digging or turning compost, or loosen it slightly for a quick, casual task. \u003ch6\u003eGenuine leather trim\u003c\/h6\u003e A touch of genuine leather trim adds a bit of understated luxury to what is otherwise a practical, everyday glove, and it's a detail that reads as considered rather than decorative for the sake of it. Leather trim on the high-wear areas also adds a degree of extra durability exactly where a glove tends to show its age first. \u003ch6\u003eMachine washable at 30°C\u003c\/h6\u003e Despite the corduroy, leather trim, and padded construction, these gloves are machine washable at 30°C, keeping them looking smart without demanding careful hand cleaning. That's a genuinely practical detail for a glove built from several different materials, since it means you don't need to treat any one component with special care separately from the rest. \u003ch6\u003eWhere this glove earns its keep\u003c\/h6\u003e This is the glove for anyone who wants a properly built, comfortable pair for regular use: digging, planting, raking, general maintenance, and the sort of repetitive tasks where a padded palm genuinely earns its keep. The corduroy look and leather trim also make it a glove that looks the part rather than purely functional, without sacrificing any of the practical construction underneath. \u003ch6\u003eSizing: M\/L, and how to check it\u003c\/h6\u003e This is the medium-large size, corresponding to a hand measurement of 8 to 9 inches, with a larger L\/XL size also available in this design. To find your size, measure around your dominant hand with a tape measure just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb, then add 0.5 inches to that figure. If your hand measures roughly 8 to 8.5 inches, this M\/L size should suit you well. \u003ch6\u003eLooking after your gloves\u003c\/h6\u003e Beyond the 30°C machine wash, it's worth letting the gloves air dry naturally rather than tumble drying them, particularly given the mix of corduroy, elastane, and leather trim involved. Avoiding high heat helps the leather trim stay supple and keeps the corduroy's texture and softness intact over repeated washes.","brand":"Burgon and Ball","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50625403224402,"sku":"5019360012405","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/6260\/9746\/files\/burgon-and-ball-burgon-and-ball-dig-the-glove-slate-corduroy-gardening-gloves-glogreycorml-5019360012405-allotmate-essentials-206776.jpg?v=1755943987"},{"product_id":"burgon-and-ball-new-collectors-olive-micro-secateurs","title":"Collectors Micro Secateurs – Olive Green Precision Pruners | Burgon \u0026 Ball","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"895\"\u003eAdd a pop of personality to your plant care with the \u003cem data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"667\"\u003eNEW Collectors Olive Micro Secateurs\u003c\/em\u003e from Burgon \u0026amp; Ball – the ultimate blend of function and flair.
