The self-watering Octogrow system featuring 8 x 11 ltr pots is a low maintenance system that keeps your vegetables in the best of health by way of a 25 litre water reservoir and a capillary mat.
Increase your output of patio-grown produce by up to 8 times with the compact simplicity of the self-watering 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 this low maintenance systems keep your vegetables in the great health by way of a 25 litre water reservoir.
Simply plant up the 8 x 11litre sized pots 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!

Product Reviews
I was given one of these systems as a present last year, and it has taken the stress factor out of watering my tomatoes. Slightly fidly to set up.and I had to go in and re adjust the valve once over the summer when it stopped working and came off. but I would reccomend the system, particularly if you are busy and might go a couple of days and forget to water, iot maked the difference between dead and great plants. Just bought another one as a present for a friend
The product works. I went away for two weeks, and it did what it was supposed to do. However, being top heavy when the plants are fully developed, the pots are unstable in a high wind; they can blow over and cause the plants to be damaged. They require a support system independent of the pots, (i.e.no canes inside the pots) which is stable, so that the pots will not be dragged over. The system works, but needs substantial effort to make it work well in terms of stability. Ideally, the base would have had holes to take the canes, as the weight of it is enough to stabilise the supports.
