Here's a novel approach to customising an unsightly old growbag - give it a makeover with the Grow Bag Cane Frames and Willow Surround duo and turn a sagging patio eyesore into a well supported and stylish rustic planter. Supplied in packs of 3, the frames are made of durable rust-proof plastic coated steel, hold the sides of the growbag together and can hold canes - or our aluminium tubing - of all diameters.
That's the plant support side of your growbag taken care of and the Willow Surround, complete with plant-through coir cover (not popular at all with slugs and snails), will certainly enhance the appearance of the often gaudy plastic outer. Simply place around the bag (the surround and cover can be retro-fitted after planting) and your frog-like growbag instantly becomes a patio prince!

Most gardeners never have enough space to cultivate their fruit, vegetables and herbs but those days may be about to end; our Vegetable Garden Frames - clever triple layered timber frames with 28 litre capacity jumbo growing trays - allow you to create a mini allotment of fresh herbs, salads, vegetables and strawberries, practically within picking reach of the kitchen. We've developed two very different frames to hopefully suit every garden situation; the king-size A-Frame Garden with its 1.92 square metres (over 6 square feet) of growing space courtesy of the 6 x 28 litre plastic trays; and the more compact Ladder model, which houses 3 trays and provides the potential for growing 0.96 sqm (3 sqft) of your chosen crops. But these frames are not just a one trick pony; thanks to the smaller seed trays (4 of which fit into a jumbo tray), propagating lids and capillary matting insert, the trays can be used as greenhouse-based propagating units before being transferred to the frame for hardening off and growing on. And when you consider the FSC high pressure treated timber frames - both designed and manufactured by our experienced team - are designed to maximise light and ventilation to plants, prevent slugs from reaching the trays and encourage close planting to inhibit the growth of weeds, you'll wonder how you ever managed before!

Book your place amongst the home fruit and vegetable growing fraternity and produce succulent strawberries, tumbling tomatoes, salads or aromatic herbs in our attractive, FSC-rated, high pressure treated timber Bookshelf Planter. Mounted on a sunny south facing wall, the three 9.5ltr durable black plastic troughs enclosed by the planter will provide the ideal growing environment for seedlings through to ready-to-harvest plants and protection from inclement weather - and a touch of style - is provided by the hinged front panel, which latches securely shut. Although fixings for both wall and fence mounting are supplied with the Bookshelf Planter, the 64cm wide by 21cm deep and 87cm high 'growing library' is equally at home freestanding in a sheltered spot on any patio, balcony or terrace and extra plastic troughs are available separately for succession sowing and continual harvests.

Quality raised beds and planters are - pardon the the pun - a huge growth area as gardeners realise the benefits of growing their own fruit and vegetables in waist height comfort with little or no maintenance and free from certain pests; and as gardeners ourselves, we're rather pleased with the stylish Manger Raised Planter we've both researched and designed. Standing 79cm (2'7") off the ground, the planter provides growing options that single level raised beds can't dream of offering - plant your salads and shallow rooting crops round the perimeter of the FSC approved, high pressure treated timber manger and let the plants (including carrots and parsnips) which require extra depth really stretch their legs in the centre, where 45cm (17½") of soil is available. Manufactured from 2cm (¾") thick planed timber and carrying a 5 year structural guarantee, you can be sure the Manger Raised Planter won't let you down and and your patio will be grateful for the thick, fitted, non-woven polypropylene fabric liner which aids water retention, contains fine sand and compost and helps prevent leaching. The 83cm (2'9") wide planters are available in two lengths - 1.2m (4ft) and 2.4m (8ft) - giving you ample opportunity to produce home grown vegetables in comfort!

The slatted base is covered with a stiff recyclable plastic cover, and we also supply a thick non-woven polypropylene fabric liner for water retention and containing compost.

With raised bed vegetable gardening enjoying a boom in recent years and patios and other paved garden areas now often occupied by raised beds and planters, we've decided to develop and introduce a quality liner to help protect your hardstanding areas. We'd thoroughly recommend you use one of our thick, one piece, non-woven, polypropylene fabric liners when growing in raised beds on the patio; the material will help retain water, prevent the compost and soil from running out onto the hard surface - possibly causing staining - and will also help prevent weeds from growing through from beneath, a further reason for using a liner if your bed is positioned on soil or turf. Our liners - fitted with reinforced hand loops at each corner to aid emptying - are available in 6 different dimensions and fit our Allotment, Standard and Superior Timber Raised Beds up to 1.8m x 2.4m (6ft x 8ft) in size. They will also fit single and two tier versions of the Allotment and Standard beds (15cm and 30cm/6" and 12") and double tier Superior beds (40cm/16"), and can also be folded to efficiently line one tier (20cm/8") Superior Beds too.

Increase your output of patio-grown produce by up to 8 times with the compact simplicity of the self-watering Quadgrow and Octogrow systems and enjoy peppers, tomatoes, beans and other crops all summer long. Many plants grown on the patio can perish in the desert-like conditions of mid-summer but these two low maintenance systems keep your vegetables in the rudest of health by way of a 25 litre water reservoir. Simply plant up the 11ltr sized pots (8 with the Octogrow, 4 with the quad) which encourage big, thick roots to develop, fill the reservoir with water and plant nutrients and let the SmartMats - which provide the constant watering that plants require by way of capillary action - do the rest. The feeder tray separates the soil from standing water to ensure strong, healthy and quick growth. And don't confine your growing activities to the summer months; add optional vented propagating pot lids (available separately) to bring plants on and to protect them from the cold and frost. Holiday watering has never been this simple!
