As the description indicates, the A-tom frame supports both the plants and the growbag, the lower cross member passes through the bag, drawing it up and in doing so stabilises the whole structure and creates water and feeding reservoirs. In case of inclement weather, the entire assembly of tomatoes and support frame can be lifted and moved to shelter.
• When in use the growbag is placed on edge and not laid flat, thus creating a fuller root space to prevent compacting. • In bad weather the whole planted structure can be easily moved • Measures 1.2m H x 75cm W x 30cm D
Growing bag supports were featured in 'On Test' in Which? magazine - "Growing bags are an easy way to grow tomatoes on the patio, but unless you have a wall or trellis to train the plants up, supporting them can be a nightmare. These supports should help... "A-tom Frame - Assembly ****, Ease of Use *****, Yield: 3.6kg a bag. This simple metal frame was easy to assemble and was the testers' favourite. It was very easy to pick up the frame and bag and move it around. The unique feature was that the growing bag hang s on the bottom rail of the frame. Not only does this hold the frame in place, it means the bag is sideways and provides greater depth of compost so it's easier to keep the roots moist."
"Of the four we tested,the A-tom frame and the Gardman Grow Bag Cane Frame were the easiest to set up and most practical." Which? Gardening, June 2008
