Planting Tips
Planting tips
Plan where you are going to position your planter so that the
plants have enough space to grow.
Only cut your hole in the growbag as big as it needs to be for
planting so that the bag can still retain the compost without
spilling out.
Press down on compost once planting is completed. Compost
needs to be touching the wick to work properly.
Lightly water plants from above after planting to help give
the plants a kick start and to settle the compost for the wick
system.
Most plants can be grown in the Growbag Waterer, including;
•Tomatoes •Chillis
•Strawberries •Courgettes
•Lettuce •Herbs
•Runnerbeans •Peas
•Peppers •Geraniums
•Cucumber •Cabbage
•Spinach

Filling the reservoir
The reservoir holds 15 litres of water and can be filled either
with a watering can through the window on the filler door or
with a hose pipe using a connector. The water level indicator
wheel will move round as it is being filled. The reservoir is full
when the Dial shows Max.
When do I need to refill?
The water can be topped up at any time but should always be
filled up again once you can see the tap and water drop on
the wheel. (Fig. 7)
How often do I refill?
This is dependent on where your planter is set up, the
temperature, type of plants and the maturity of your plants.
Check the water indicator regularly.

manufactures instructions.
End of the growing season
The grow bag must be lifted off the reservoir, removing
the watering spikes complete with wick material. Wash all
components thoroughly and allow to dry before storing
indoors over winter. Hozelock recommends replacing the wick
material with a new set each year. For spares and accessories,
