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":"garland-plant-halos","title":"Plant Halos – Set of 3 – Watering \u0026 Feeding Support Rings | Garland","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"792\" data-start=\"321\"\u003eTake the stress out of watering and supporting your plants with the \u003cstrong data-end=\"412\" data-start=\"389\"\u003eGarland Plant Halos\u003c\/strong\u003e – a clever, all-in-one solution designed for tomatoes, peppers, beans, and other tall crops.

Too much from a can with a wide spout and you're soaking the leaves, drowning the compost, or watering the windowsill instead of the pot. This can was built to stop that happening. It's designed for precision, indoors, where a heavy-handed pour has nowhere to drain away and nothing to blame but you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe can is made from powder-coated galvanised steel, so it's properly durable rather than just decorative, and finished in a soft buttermilk shade with a matt surface that reads as considered rather than showy. A brass seal bearing the Sophie Conran for Burgon \u0026amp; Ball mark sits on the top surface, a small detail that signals this was designed with some care rather than knocked out as an afterthought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe spout is the part that actually earns its keep. It's slender and precisely shaped, built to direct water exactly where a plant needs it and nowhere else. That matters more indoors than out: a badly aimed pour on a patio is forgotten by teatime, but a badly aimed pour on a windowsill means a damp patch on the wood, or water pooling round the base of a pot that was already sitting too wet. With a spout this controlled, you can water tightly packed pots, awkward corners of a plant shelf, or a single fussy fern without disturbing anything around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 1.7 litres, it holds enough to get through a decent watering round without constant refills, while staying light enough to handle comfortably even with a full load. The handle is shaped to sit naturally in the hand as you tilt forward to pour, which keeps the whole motion controlled rather than tipping into a sudden gush the moment the can starts to angle. It's a small ergonomic touch, but it's the difference between a can that feels awkward after the third refill and one you barely think about.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAt 43cm long, 23cm high, and 13cm wide, and weighing just 326g empty, it's proportioned for indoor use specifically. It sits comfortably on a shelf between waterings rather than needing to be tucked away, and the buttermilk finish means it doesn't look out of place doing so, whether that shelf is in a farmhouse kitchen, a plant-filled living room, or a minimalist windowsill.

This one's designed to sit out. Sophie Conran, part of Britain's well known Conran design family, brought her contemporary country house style to this piece, and the result is a can that's as happy on an open kitchen shelf as it is beside a windowsill of houseplants.\n\nThe galvanised steel finish is the standout feature. Rather than a flat, uniform coating, it carries the subtle mottled patterning that comes from the galvanising process itself, giving each can a slightly individual texture that leans into the current Modern Rustic interiors trend rather than fighting against it. A brass seal bearing the Sophie Conran for Burgon \u0026amp; Ball mark sits on the top surface, a small detail that turns a functional object into something you'd choose to display.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eFunction first, style close behind\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\nNone of this comes at the expense of how it actually pours. The spout is slender and precisely shaped, built to direct water exactly where a plant needs it and nowhere else. That's a much bigger deal indoors than out. A badly aimed pour on a patio dries off by teatime, but the same mistake on a windowsill leaves a damp ring on the wood or water pooling at the base of a pot that was already sitting too wet. With a spout this controlled, you can water tightly grouped pots, awkward gaps on a plant shelf, or one fussy specimen without disturbing its neighbours.\n\nThe handle is shaped to glide through the hand as the can tilts forward to pour, keeping the whole motion smooth and controlled rather than tipping suddenly into a gush partway through. It's a detail that only really becomes obvious with repeated use, the third or fourth refill of a watering round is where a badly balanced can starts to feel like hard work, and this one doesn't.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eCapacity and proportions\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\nAt 1.7 litres, it holds enough to see you through a proper watering round of a windowsill or plant shelf without constant trips back to the tap, while staying light and manageable even when full. At 39cm long, 22cm high, and 12.5cm wide, and weighing just 274g empty, it's sized specifically for indoor use rather than scaled down from an outdoor can as an afterthought.\n\n\u003ch6\u003ePart of a wider collection\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\nThis galvanised finish also appears across other pieces in the Sophie Conran for Burgon \u0026amp; Ball range, including a trug, a bird seed tin, and a seed organiser, so it's easy to build a coordinated set for a potting bench or plant corner. The can itself is also available in a smaller 1 litre size, as well as several other colour finishes, for anyone building a collection or matching to a particular room.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\nAnyone with a windowsill or shelf of houseplants who's tired of watering from an outdoor can that's either too heavy, too clumsy-spouted, or simply doesn't belong indoors will get genuine daily use from this. It also suits anyone who likes their everyday tools to look considered rather than purely functional, since this is as much a piece of design as it is a watering can.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\nGalvanised steel is naturally resistant to rust, so this needs very little upkeep beyond drying it out between uses to keep the finish looking its best. Avoid leaving it filled with water for extended periods, and keep the brass seal dry to preserve its shine.","brand":"Burgon and Ball","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53324420579666,"sku":"5019360203339","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/6260\/9746\/files\/sophie-conran-galvanized-watering-can-a-17-litre-indoor-watering-can-with-a-precision-spout-for-houseplants-5019360203339-5019360203339-burgon-and-ball-shop-now-1004590.jpg?v=1786929677"},{"product_id":"burgon-and-ball-waterfall-watering-can-5-litre-british-racing-green","title":"Burgon \u0026 Ball Waterfall Watering Can 5L | British Racing Green","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere's a knack to watering that no amount of enthusiasm can replace, and this can does half the work for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFive litres in galvanised steel with a powder coated finish, it's built to the size that actually makes sense on an allotment: enough for a proper drink round the beds, not so much you're wrestling it back to the tap.

Plenty of the best tomatoes are grown on balconies, roof terraces, courtyards and back steps, in containers that have to look decent because they're right outside the kitchen door. The Garland Self Watering Grow Pot Tower in anthracite is built for exactly that. It's a neat, dark grey pot with an 11 litre planting capacity, a 4 litre water reservoir underneath and a 1.5m support frame rising out of the top. One pot gives you one productive plant, and a lot less watering. \u003ch6\u003eWhat is the Garland Self Watering Grow Pot Tower?\u003c\/h6\u003e It's a container and plant support in one, designed for growing a single tall plant. The pot has an 11 litre planting capacity with an easy-fill 4 litre water reservoir beneath the compost. A float indicator shows the water level. The aluminium frame stands 1.5m high with four support rings and slots securely into the pot.\n\nThere’s an anchor point in both the pot and the frame for an optional central bamboo cane, useful for heavier crops. The cane isn’t supplied. The pot is made from 100% recycled, BPA-free plastic, and the whole tower assembles in minutes.\n\nThis is the anthracite version, a deep charcoal grey that suits contemporary patios, slate and porcelain paving, modern planters and dark-painted fences. It’s also available in green and red.\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 wide range covers propagation, patio growing, plant supports, watering and storage. The company manufactures in the UK and uses recycled plastic extensively across its products. \u003ch6\u003eWhy choose a self-watering pot for a balcony or patio?\u003c\/h6\u003e Containers in small, sunny spaces dry out fast. Pots on balconies and roof terraces are exposed to sun and wind on every side, and paved patios reflect heat back at them. In midsummer, a pot of compost can go from damp to dry in a single afternoon.\n\nA reservoir beneath the compost means the plant has a reserve to draw on between waterings. You can see when it needs topping up from the float indicator rather than guessing. It’s a real advantage when you’re out at work all day, away for a weekend, or simply don’t fancy carrying a watering can up three flights of stairs twice a day.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eDoes colour affect how plants grow?\u003c\/h6\u003e A little. Darker pots absorb more heat from the sun than lighter ones, so the compost in an anthracite pot tends to warm up a little faster in spring. Heat-loving crops such as tomatoes, peppers, chillies and aubergines can appreciate that early in the season.\n\nIn the height of summer, the same effect can make compost in dark containers warmer than ideal in full, baking sun. On very hot days, keep the reservoir well topped up. You can also shade the pot itself by grouping other containers in front of it, so the roots stay cooler while the plant enjoys the sun.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eWhat can I grow in it?\u003c\/h6\u003e Garland recommends tomatoes, peppers and sweet peas. The 11 litre pot and 1.5m frame also suit:\n\nCordon or bush tomatoes, one plant per pot.\n\nSweet peppers and chillies.\n\nAubergines, which need support once they’re fruiting.\n\nSweet peas, several plants per pot, trained around the rings.\n\nAnnual climbers such as morning glory, black-eyed Susan and climbing nasturtiums.\n\nCucamelons and small climbing edibles.\n\nFor balconies and small patios, a couple of towers with a tomato in one and sweet peas in the other gives you food and flowers in very little floor space.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eHow do I assemble it?\u003c\/h6\u003e Slot the aluminium frame sections together and into the pot. The poles are deliberately a tight fit, and Garland advises tapping them firmly into place. When it's built properly, the tower should feel rigid enough that you could lift the whole unit by one pole. If it wobbles, tap the poles in more firmly. \u003ch6\u003eHow do I plant it up?\u003c\/h6\u003e Fill the pot with good quality multipurpose or container compost. Peat-free compost is a good choice.\n\nPlant your young tomato, pepper, sweet pea or climber, firming the compost gently around the roots.\n\nWater thoroughly from the top to settle everything in.\n\nFill the reservoir using the easy-fill system, and check the float indicator.\n\nFor heavy crops, add a bamboo cane to the central anchor point.\n\n\u003ch6\u003eHow do I keep plants tidy on the frame?\u003c\/h6\u003e Use the four rings as tie-in points as the plant grows. Tie tomato stems loosely to the rings or central cane, and pinch out side shoots on cordon varieties. Let pepper and aubergine branches rest on the rings as fruit swells. Guide sweet peas and climbers up the frame, tying them in until they start to cling for themselves. Leave each tie slightly loose so stems can thicken without being pinched. \u003ch6\u003eHow often does the reservoir need filling?\u003c\/h6\u003e That depends on the plant's size, the weather and how exposed the spot is. Early in the season, a small plant uses very little. In midsummer, a large fruiting tomato in full sun can use the reservoir much faster, sometimes within a day or two in hot, windy weather. Check the float indicator daily in summer and top up whenever it's low. On very hot days, an occasional extra watering from above keeps the whole root zone moist. \u003ch6\u003eDo I need to feed plants in a self-watering pot?\u003c\/h6\u003e Yes. The reservoir supplies water, not nutrients. Container compost runs short of food as the season goes on, and fruiting crops are particularly hungry. Once tomatoes, peppers, chillies and aubergines start to flower, feed them regularly with a liquid high-potash feed, following the pack instructions. Sweet peas also benefit from regular feeding while they're in flower. \u003ch6\u003eIs it stable on a balcony?\u003c\/h6\u003e A tall plant on a 1.5m frame can catch the wind, and balconies and roof terraces are often breezy. Place the tower in the most sheltered spot available, ideally against a wall or in a corner. Use the central cane for extra support, and keep the reservoir filled, since the weight of water helps keep the pot steady. In very windy weather, it's worth moving it somewhere more sheltered. \u003ch6\u003eWhy recycled plastic?\u003c\/h6\u003e The pot is made from 100% recycled plastic, so it reuses material that already exists rather than adding new plastic to the world. It's also BPA-free, a reassurance for anyone growing food crops in containers. \u003ch6\u003eEnd of season care\u003c\/h6\u003e When the plant has finished, lift it out and empty the compost onto the compost heap, unless the plant was diseased. Drain the reservoir completely before the first frosts, since standing water can freeze. Clean the pot and wipe the frame, then store both somewhere dry for next year. A quick scrub before replanting in spring helps keep pests and diseases from carrying over. \u003ch6\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h6\u003e How much does the pot hold? It has an 11 litre planting capacity.\n\nHow much water does the reservoir hold?\n4 litres.\n\nHow tall is the frame?\n1.5m, with four support rings.\n\nIs it suitable for balconies?\nYes. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot and use a central cane for extra stability in breezy positions.\n\nIs the bamboo cane included?\nNo. There’s an anchor point for an optional central cane, which isn’t supplied.\n\nWhat’s it made from?\nThe pot is made from 100% recycled, BPA-free plastic, and the frame is aluminium.\n\nWhat other colours are available?\nGreen and red.","brand":"Garland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55002898563410,"sku":"5031670003737","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0808\/6260\/9746\/files\/g195an_self_watering_grow_pot_tower_anthracite_with_box.jpg?v=1791558545"},{"product_id":"garland-self-watering-grow-pot-tower-in-red-11-litre-recycled-plastic-pot-with-4-litre-reservoir-and-1-5m-aluminium-support-frame-for-tomatoes-peppers-and-sweet-peas-copy-copy","title":"Garland Self Watering Grow Pot Tower in Red: 11 Litre Recycled Plastic Pot with 4 Litre Reservoir and 1.5m Aluminium Support Frame for Tomatoes, Peppers and Sweet Peas (Copy) (Copy)","description":"\u003ch6\u003eGrow your own, in a corner of the patio\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot everyone has an allotment, a vegetable bed or even a scrap of lawn.

It’s also available in green and red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWho makes it?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarland Products is a British garden products manufacturer based in Kingswinford in the West Midlands. Its wide range covers propagation, patio growing, plant supports, watering and storage. The company manufactures in the UK and uses recycled plastic extensively across its products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWhy choose a self-watering pot for a balcony or patio?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContainers in small, sunny spaces dry out fast. Pots on balconies and roof terraces are exposed to sun and wind on every side, and paved patios reflect heat back at them. In midsummer, a pot of compost can go from damp to dry in a single afternoon. A reservoir beneath the compost means the plant has a reserve to draw on between waterings. You can see when it needs topping up from the float indicator rather than guessing. It’s a real advantage when you’re out at work all day, away for a weekend, or simply don’t fancy carrying a watering can up three flights of stairs twice a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDoes colour affect how plants grow?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA little. Darker pots absorb more heat from the sun than lighter ones, so the compost in an red pot tends to warm up a little faster in spring. Heat-loving crops such as tomatoes, peppers, chillies and aubergines can appreciate that early in the season. In the height of summer, the same effect can make compost in dark containers warmer than ideal in full, baking sun. On very hot days, keep the reservoir well topped up. You can also shade the pot itself by grouping other containers in front of it, so the roots stay cooler while the plant enjoys the sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWhat can I grow in it?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarland recommends tomatoes, peppers and sweet peas. The 11 litre pot and 1.5m frame also suit: Cordon or bush tomatoes, one plant per pot. Sweet peppers and chillies. Aubergines, which need support once they’re fruiting. Sweet peas, several plants per pot, trained around the rings. Annual climbers such as morning glory, black-eyed Susan and climbing nasturtiums. Cucamelons and small climbing edibles. For balconies and small patios, a couple of towers with a tomato in one and sweet peas in the other gives you food and flowers in very little floor space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHow do I assemble it?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlot the aluminium frame sections together and into the pot. The poles are deliberately a tight fit, and Garland advises tapping them firmly into place. When it's built properly, the tower should feel rigid enough that you could lift the whole unit by one pole. If it wobbles, tap the poles in more firmly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHow do I plant it up?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFill the pot with good quality multipurpose or container compost. Peat-free compost is a good choice. Plant your young tomato, pepper, sweet pea or climber, firming the compost gently around the roots. Water thoroughly from the top to settle everything in. Fill the reservoir using the easy-fill system, and check the float indicator. For heavy crops, add a bamboo cane to the central anchor point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHow do I keep plants tidy on the frame?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the four rings as tie-in points as the plant grows. Tie tomato stems loosely to the rings or central cane, and pinch out side shoots on cordon varieties. Let pepper and aubergine branches rest on the rings as fruit swells. Guide sweet peas and climbers up the frame, tying them in until they start to cling for themselves. Leave each tie slightly loose so stems can thicken without being pinched.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eHow often does the reservoir need filling?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat depends on the plant's size, the weather and how exposed the spot is. Early in the season, a small plant uses very little. In midsummer, a large fruiting tomato in full sun can use the reservoir much faster, sometimes within a day or two in hot, windy weather. Check the float indicator daily in summer and top up whenever it's low. On very hot days, an occasional extra watering from above keeps the whole root zone moist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eDo I need to feed plants in a self-watering pot?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The reservoir supplies water, not nutrients. Container compost runs short of food as the season goes on, and fruiting crops are particularly hungry. Once tomatoes, peppers, chillies and aubergines start to flower, feed them regularly with a liquid high-potash feed, following the pack instructions. Sweet peas also benefit from regular feeding while they're in flower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eIs it stable on a balcony?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tall plant on a 1.5m frame can catch the wind, and balconies and roof terraces are often breezy. Place the tower in the most sheltered spot available, ideally against a wall or in a corner. Use the central cane for extra support, and keep the reservoir filled, since the weight of water helps keep the pot steady. In very windy weather, it's worth moving it somewhere more sheltered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eWhy recycled plastic?\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pot is made from 100% recycled plastic, so it reuses material that already exists rather than adding new plastic to the world. It's also BPA-free, a reassurance for anyone growing food crops in containers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eEnd of season care\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the plant has finished, lift it out and empty the compost onto the compost heap, unless the plant was diseased. Drain the reservoir completely before the first frosts, since standing water can freeze. Clean the pot and wipe the frame, then store both somewhere dry for next year. A quick scrub before replanting in spring helps keep pests and diseases from carrying over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow much does the pot hold?
