Spring is round the corner

At last the sun is shining again so had a big clean up after a busy weekend.
These days I am constantly planting so I have plenty of choices to take each weekend for the Mobile display unit this has proved to be extremely popular, people want to see the results first hand.
The response to the new WALL GARDEN has been great so I have moved the prototype unit into my tunnel so it can bee seen in operation when people call. One of the things that is coming up often when I am out and about with the display is people coming up to me with questions about product that they have purchased from some other source and have not been given the right information or advised about which product suites them best for what they want to grow. My advice is ask to see the results that they have produced if they are not a grower then they probable don't know what they are talking about, this product is totally different to any other hydroponic system in fact it really is not a true hydroponic as we can use any type of medium and don't suffer all the problems associated with hydroponics. That's why I refer to it as HYDRO GARDENING (the scientific control of water and nutrient for maximum plant growth)
For your information we run A GROWER GROUP  which means you get 24/7 support about how to achieve the best from your Autopot Products, you are welcome to join our team of Happy Growers no matter where you brought your units, its free! we just want you to get the right advice. just drop me an email or come say giday at the markets or call round home and have a chat, phone 0412174733 or email   auto.group@optusnet.com.au

New HYDRO WALL GARDEN

After a couple of adjustments from the prototype that you see in the NEW PRODUCT  Blog we have the finished product an I am thrilled with the result, Special thanks to Rick at Urangan Engineering the final model it's much lighter and with the Extensions that are available we now have a complete home garden that you can pack up and take anywhere in the world and the great thing with the Autopot system it looks after it self no coming home after a weekend away to find your garden burnt up in the midday sun. With the full Kit you have a total of 16 grow pots enough for any home garden and remember it looks after it self all you have to do is top up the feeder tanks when they get low.
As long as you have a fence or wall that gets a least 6 hours of good light then you can enjoy fresh salad or that special herb garden you always wanted. E mail me for a brochure or information. It flat packs so I can ship anywhere in the world. auto.group@optusnet.com.au

Set up ready to plant with one Tomato extension, you can add another on the other side

How good is this.

Easy to work round and takes upvery little space

A Top Tomato

One of the great things about Autopot gardening you can enjoy fresh produce almost all year round if you set it up right. I love my tomatoes and have them on toast every morning regardless so naturally I am always on the lookout for a quality fruit and of cause a variety that is hardy and less prone to disease.
In my blogs I have talked about my love for "Pink Pearl" well it has not stopped fruiting or growing for months now and is hanging well out of my covered space. The other one I have just planted a couple more of is "Pot Tomato" it is simply beautiful solid flesh and a fabulous flavour I have included a photo to show you what it looks like inside.


Just solid flesh
And here is my crazy Pink Pearl that won't stop producing.

Just keeps on keeping on.
Here is a a further update of whats happening at my place.
