About
With Stack-A-Tubs® you can grow Herbs in abundance, Boutique Vegetables, Strawberries, Bulbs, Annuals, Perennials, Ferns, Bromeliads and the list goes on. With every growing area spanning 25cm (10 inches) wide every plant has room to reach its maximum potential. With the patented Stack-A-Tubs® internal irrigation system you can be certain every plant will evenly receive their life sustaining nutrients and moisture by one single application to the uppermost layer per watering session.
Stack-A-Tubs® are an efficient self-watering planter with each water well storing over a litre of life sustaining moisture and nutrients. This water storing feature allows for an extended period of time between watering sessions but will vary depending on location, temperature, wind and plant type, but may extend to as long as two weeks. |

How-To
Simply water your Stack-A-Tubs® directly into the uppermost stacking tub. The water will filter through the soil, fill the water well reservoir and then spill out through the side drainage holes . The side drainage holes will direct the overflow into and around the growing area of the tub directly beneath and start the whole process again within the second uppermost stacking tub. Continue watering until you see overflow entering the tray area ensuring that all stacking tubs, all growing areas and all water wells are completely and evenly watered. |

Handy Hints
The drip tray of Stack-A-Tubs® has been designed with rib like glides on the under surface to enable easy rotation of the whole stand and ensure your plants receive an even light source over a period of time.We advise you adjust your Stack-A-Tubs® 45° clockwise every watering session by turning the uppermost Tub like a wheel.
You may also sit your Stack-A-Tubs® on a strong plant pot wheelie caddy (not included) but available from most garden suppliers, this does not come with the set, however this will enable you to easily move and rotate your Stack-A-Tubs®. |

Growing Tips
Always use a good quality potting mix, add moisture retaining gel crystals or Aqua GelMat strips and cover soil with ornamental rocks, stones or mulch to achieve excellent moisture retention. A light application of worm castings or manure will assist the growth of herbs and vegetables greatly.
We also recommend the use of suitable liquid fertilizer every 3 or 4 weeks. |
