This ingenious growing system makes it easy to grow a fruitful crop of delicious, plump tomatoes. Using gravity to draw water and nutrients from the root system to the fruit, it helps to produce large, tasty tomatoes in abundance. As the sun warms the plant, the specially designed bag retains the heat and acts as a greenhouse to keep the soil
warm. By hanging your plant above ground level, you can also minimise the risk of pest damage and the spread of disease. Just insert the plant, fill with soil and watch it thrive and flourish!

For beginners and seasoned growers alike

Uses gravity to draw water and nutrients to the fruit

Helps minimise damage from ground level pests

Designed to retain heat and keep the soil warm

Can be used to grow a variety of plants

Saves time, space and effort

Otherwise £4.99 plus £.95 postage if you just want one -

    An empty 2 litre pop bottle works well too - hung mine from a tree the other year and grew tomatoes.

    More of a faff to hang it, but free! (Makes a good project for children, fun to watch the plants twist themselves upwards as they grow).

    oh my goodness no
    in true MSE i made my own years ago
    you cant really grow in see through bottles as the roots can burn very easily

    start by filling and growing them upright until plants ar 6" in height
    after that they are rooted enough to hang
