Steve is a happy gardener thanks to our Octogrow.
After having poor results for many years, Steve bought a Vitopod Propagator and Octogrow from us to see if he would fair any better. He planting his tomatoes on 16th February and even after 4 inches of snow they are going strong six weeks later and are already up to the third truss.

Jim Duffy, California
Even though he lives in the Golden State, only Greenhouse Sensation is good enough for Jim and his chillies.
We were very excited to receive photos from a customer in San Diego, California. Jim Duffy is so keen to get the best equipment to grow his chillies that even though he lives in the Golden State, only Greenhouse Sensation is good enough.
So he ordered a 105 space Hydro Propagator from us and he is using them for his chillies, which he distributes to restaurants and church and youth groups throughout the USA.
 |
 |
 |
Just look at all these lovely chillies, they are looking exceptional, with both great leaf and root growth. Californian sunshine combined with super-healthy growing conditions provided by the Hydro Propagator are sure to provide bumper yields. Jim's hydroponic growing overcomes the problems of evaporation caused by the strong Californian sunshine.
Keep up to date with how well Jim's chillies are growing by following his blog.
Joannie McCutcheon, Edinburgh

Vitopod propagators and mini gardens in a gorgeous greenhouse

This is a fabulous pic of his Vitopod Propagators and Mini Gardens set up in the greenhouse, ready for the new season. Neil also sent us this lovely comment, “Nice to find a company that is focussed on customer service, very rare these days. I am very happy with the products.”

Tina May, Maidstone
Giant African Land Snails in a Vitopod Mini Garden!
 |
Tina is using her Vitopod as a vivarium for her Giant African Land Snails! The snails are happiest when kept moist and humid; Tina uses the large humidity vents in the Vitopod mini garden to maintain the perfect atmosphere. The deep grow tray is filled with organic compost to allow the snails to bury themselves. Tina feeds her snails on a very healthy diet of fresh fruit and vegetables. The cuttlefish bone provides the snails with the calcium they need to maintain a strong, healthy shell.

Matthew Deakin
Hot Trinidad Scorpian Chillies
18th June 2010 - ready to flower...
After just six weeks in the Solargrow, Matthew's Trindad Scorpian plants are doing rather well, and are ready to flower with the plant on the left - the Trindad Scorpian Yellow Cardi has an amazing 8 buds at the top node.
 |
 |
| Look at the thick healthy stems in contrast with the delicate little flower buds - it is amazing to think that they are the start of such a fiery fruit. | It is a good healthy leaf there, Matthew should be very pleased with his plants - he certainly is doing very well, I predict a good yield from these plants. |
28th june 2010 - still growing strongly...
 |
 |
 |
Matthew's Trindad Scorpian Chillies are growing fantastically well, and even in the last 10 days they have grown quite impressively. We are hoping for Matthew to have the first pods appearing about August time, I cannot wait for these photos. |
Ron Mehta, Ilford
Growing tomatoes in a Solargrow compared to traditional growing.
Ron is getting fantastic results from growing in his Solargrow, in Essex. He is growing a tumbling tomato as well as three tomato plants and a courgette.
 |
 |
| Planted at the same time, the tumbler tomato is growing in soil in a hanging basket. |
In comparison to his Solargrow plants, it's not quite looking up to scratch. |
Ron is planning on transplanting his tomatoes and courgette to a Quadgrow to give his plants more space as they grow. He's then going to fill his Solagrow with chilli peppers.
Keep up the good work, Ron!

Tomatoes
|
6th June 2010 Robin has started off the tomatoes in pots whilst he was building his greenhouse and transplanted them into Rockwool Cubes and then into the the NFT Hydrogrow. |
13th June 2010 The tomatoes seem to have taken well to their new grow position and have already started to grow within the last week |
|
18th June 2010
|
30th June 2010 The plants have been busy over the last 12 days and fruit is already forming. |
|
10th July 2010 All three plants have grown some more and have already got a lot of fruit on them. |
Pepper, Cucumber, and Baby Corn
|
6th June 2010 Robin has transplanted the pepper he started off in a pot into Rockwool Cubes and placed in his NFT Hydrogrow. |
13th June 2010 Already the growth over the past week really is impressive |
|
18th June 2010 After germinating the Baby Corn and Cucumber from seed Robin has transplanted them into the NFT Hydrogrow. |
30th June 2010 The pepper is going great, the cucumber and corn is slowly catching up, but with patience they soon will start really seeing the advantages of the Hydrogrow. |
|
10th July 2010 Robin tells us, "This cucumber was planted from seed at the same time as the cucumber in the Hydrogrow NFT. Say no more Hydrogrow rocks."
|
10th July 2010 Robin tells us, "I have thinned the pepper to allow room for the side shoots from the cucumber to be trained along the netting behind it, the growth of this plant is nothing short of astounding and it's already producing plenty of flowers with diddy little fruits behind, if this carries on we will all be eating nothing but cucumber for a couple of months... lol. The baby corn is growing well but currently very overshadowed by the cucumber. I have two lovely peppers at the bottom of the plant and iit just begging to produce more a couple of nodes up" |
Jan Childe - June 2010
A Greenhouse Sensational Customer
|
Jan is a real Greenhouse Sensation fan and has so many of our Grow kits that she has her "Greenhouse Sensation Greenhouse". This year in her Hydrogrows Jan is growing peppers (mostly bells), a few tomatoes, 2 types of all-female cucumber and 3 varieties of melon. It looks very beautiful, and as the season progresses we are expecting it to look even more stunning. |
We love tomatoes and we especially love tomatoes that look like that! Jan's pride and joy for this year is the impressive exotic German Strawberry Tomato which she reports is producing a hefty crop of giant heart-shaped fruit, which Jan informs us tastes fantastic. |
|
Jan is growing three varieties of melon, 1 water and 2 charentais types, all of which are growing brilliantly and producing large numbers of gorgeous-looking fruit. |
Melon are another popular fruit amongst our customers and they fill the air in your greenhouse with the most delicious aroma |

Jeremy - GS100 owner
Bhut Jolokia Chillies at 17 weeks Greenhouse Sensation GS100 v Pot
Greenhouse Sensation customer Jeremy was so impressed with his new GS100 Hydro System that he sent us this picture..
 |
The picture shows the difference between two Bhut Jolokia chillies at 17 weeks. The one on the left is growing in his GS100, the plant on the right is struggling to keep up in a traditional pot. |
Jeremy said:
"The difference is amazing. This is the first time I have ever grown in a hydro system and I have found the system easy to set up and run. "Thanks to the Gardening Angels who answered all my newbie questions."
Mr Waugh, Ayrshire
Hydro System 'v' growbag. No surprise to us which grows better!
Mr Waugh of Ayrshire sent us some great pictures comparing tomatoes grown in a GS200 NFT Hydro System with those grown in grow bags.
  |
The tomato plants were planted into the GS200 and grow bags at the same time and are of the same variety.
The difference is incredible. The tomato plants in the hydro system – on the left of the photo - are twice as tall, with thicker stems and larger fruit; all because they receive exactly the right amount of food, water and oxygen, when they need it.
Growing in hydro is a fantastic alternative to soil. There’s no digging, no mess, no watering schedules to stick to and the results speak for themselves.
Jan Childe, North Wiltshire
A comparison of growbag and NFT GS200+ grown tomatoes 2009
We recently received some excellent results from Jan who this season compared growing in Greenhouse Sensation hydro systems to growing in regular growbags (shown on the right).
As you can see our systems came out a clear winner. Jan was so impressed by our systems that she subsequently purchased another ten, now thats growing!!!

17th July - Hydro |
v Grow bags |
Here's what Jan had to say about Greenhouse Sensation:
"At the risk of a bad pun, my experience was demonstrably sensational!! My first year & I trialed two GS200s for my favourite variety of cherry tomato in one greenhouse, whilst planting the same variety of tomato next door in my second greenhouse in grow bags (good ones, as recommended by Gardening Which?).
The differential was staggering. The GS200 tomatoes stormed away, literally doing what it said they would in the GS200 booklet (root growth in 48 hours etc), whilst the others in their grow bag did nowhere near as well. My crop from the GS200s has been substantial, unlike the grow bag, and the plants are still going strong.
Suspect we will have fruit well into November. So impressed, am kitting out both greenhouses with multiple units for next year - will be trying out a much wider range of crops & suspect cucumbers & aubergines will do very well, being warmed at roots."
Mr K Chadwick, Ashton-In-Makerfield
Growbag tomatoes or GS100 tomatoes? Here's the evidence!
The difference is clearly visible, the hydro grown plants are nearly twice the size of the soil grown plants; with stronger, thicker stems and healthier leaves. All because they receive exactly the right amount of water, nutrients and oxygen, when they need it.
