Grow bumper tomato harvests with this Ultimate Tomato Growing Kit.
This great kit contains everything you need to grow healthy tomato plants laden with ripe fruit. The 3 packs of seeds will be given a head start in the Propagator especially when you use the Tamper to get rid of air pockets, the Quadgrow planter will keep your plants perfectly fed and watered at all times and the free Dibber is superb for sowing seeds and transplanting accurately.
Propagator Kit (with 3x seed trays and 12 pots)
Sow your tomato seeds in the pots (included) and place into the Propagator. The lid traps warm air, creating the moist atmosphere that seeds need for germination and protecting seedlings from draughts and drying out. Once all the plants are about 8 to 10 inches tall transfer them to the Quadgrow. Once you have finished with your propagator you can use it to start other seeds for your veg plot and even use it as a salad planter all year.
Quadgrow 4 Pot Planter
After 8 - 10 weeks in the Propagator your plants will be ready to be planted into your Quadgrow planter. Fill the Quadgrow's SmartReservoir and let the FeederMats in the pots pull water up to the roots when they need it. Although your tomato plants have access to water whenever they need it, roots are never stood in water, so access to oxygen is never limited.
The Quadgrow planter was described by Garden Answers as "The answer to most gardeners' prayers" and is our best seller. This superb planter cleverly keeps your plants perfectly fed and watered for up to 2 weeks at a time thanks to the large SmartReservoir and FeederMat controlled watering, so you raise healthier plants with bigger harvests.
The SmartReservoir holds 30 litres, plenty to keep plants perfectly fed and watered for several days at a time. So, that's no more holiday watering rotas, and definitely no disappointing harvests caused by erratic watering. The Quadgrow is an ideal replacement for your traditional tomato pots or grow bag.

The Quadgrow produces healthier plants and bigger harvests by providing your plants with constant access to water without ever over-watering.
Plants need to constantly replace the water they use, but overwatering prevents roots from accessing oxygen and is actually the number one cause of plant demise.
What happens when we overwater?
If soil is over-watered the pores in the soil become blocked and the roots can't access the air in the soil. The lack of oxygen means that the roots can't take up water or nutrients. A plant weakened by overwatering becomes susceptible to disease, particularly fungal attacks. If the over-watering is repeated the roots suffocate and die.
Perfect for?
Tomato plants – The Quadgrow is the perfect replacement for traditional tomato pots and tomato planters.
What happens when we underwater?
Plants use water for cell growth and for overall health, but they also need water for the following specific functions, which are compromised when we under-water.
Transporting minerals and nutrients
Plants use water to move minerals and nutrients from the roots around the plant, and to move glucose (from photosynthesis) from leaves to other cells in the plant.
Photosynthesis
About 5% of the water absorbed by plants is used to make glucose during the photosynthesis process.
Transpiration
As well as water, plants need carbon dioxide for photosynthesis (they combine water, carbon dioxide and light to produce glucose). They access this carbon dioxide through microscopic openings on their leaves and stems. These openings are called ‘stomata’. The stomata open and close regularly to absorb carbon dioxide and as they do this they also release water, this release of water is called transpiration. If the plant is short of water it won't open its stomato as frequently and therefore it won't photosynthesise as much. Sunny, hot weather increases the rate of transpiration, so plants need more water in these conditions.
It's no wonder then that incorrect watering causes most gardening problems, including blossom end rot and fruit splitting, such as when growing in traditional tomato planters.
As we are the inventors, designers and manufacturers of the Quadgrow planter we are always really pleased when somebody says something nice about it and lots of people have, no wonder it's a best seller. Here's a sample of what magazines and professional growers have said about it.
