Product Reviews
Great things about the Vitopod mini garden
1 . Grow Anywhere
Use the Vitopod mini garden anywhere, including a patio, balcony, sunny hallway, conservatory or greenhouse.No matter how little space you have - you can have your own garden.
2. Move your garden
Start your seeds indoors, when you go on holiday take your garden to a friend's house, when the weather's cold take your garden indoors. When you move house take your garden with you.
3. Less Work
There's no need to start seeds or plug plants in pots and transplant them. Just sow directly into the Vitopod mini garden and add the lids. There's no digging and no weeding, and the water tray reduces your watering workload.
4. A Head Start
Start with the lids on to use as a propagator to help plants retain heat and humidty, they'll get going more quickly. Start indoors while it's still cold outside
5. Protected Plants
You can add as many protective layers as you need, so even tall plants can be protected from cold, frost, slugs and mice.
6. Healthy Plants
Plants will take water from the Water Tray when they need to - avoiding under and over-watering. Vents in the protective layers provide lots of airflow so plants are protected but not subjected to too much humidity.
What The Press Say
Amateur Gardening1st March 2008
9/10 Star Score: Features: *****, Value ****.
"A serious piece of kit for all keen growers! Panelled sides and domed lids are crystal clear for maximum light. And, being made from diakom (a type of acrylic), they shouldn't turn that horrible yellow colour. I liked the fact that it can be used year round and the size can be tailored to your own needs. Although the price seems high, it could be a good alternative to heating a greenhouse for overwintering purposes."
Evening Standard (Homes and Property)7th January 2008
'Sow Seeds of Summer' - Plan now for a riot of colour in the garden and bring the warmer months closer, Patti Barron
"Invest in a heated propagator - the Vitopod is state-of-the-art and was voted Best Buy by BBC Gardeners' World magazine - and you will be able to coddle seedlings into an early start this spring."
