In some respects, the Easy2Grow Autopot system is a self watering planter (from a tank through a valve) because it is the plants that decide when it’s time for more water. It can be used as a grow bag extension to combine a grow bag and self watering planter for optimum use.

I’ve used the Autopot for many seasons and it is reliable as long as all your pipes and valves are kept clean. Like the Oasesbox, it is also very good at growing tomatoes, peppers, chillies and other premium fruit and vegetables. For growing a few plants the Oasesbox and the Quadgrow planters are excellent and both around the same price.Like the Oasesbox, it runs on the wet side and is perfect for watering in hot conditons. The Quadgrow runs on the dry side with only capillary matting to absorb moisture into the roots, however, when plants are more developed they send their roots down into the reservoir. Summing Up

It is a well made item and should last for many seasons if treated with care – put it in the shed during the winter. If you intend to grow ten or more plants, I think that the Autopot Easy2Grow System is probably the most suitable but it takes more time to set up and attention to operate.It can be turned into a grow bag extension by placing a grow bag onto three Oases boxes slotted together. Like all good self watering planters, the Quadgrow provides water and nutrients to its plants 24/7. When the reservoir is filled with water and nutrients, a plant is able to take up water and nutrients whenever they are needed. It can be a bit fiddly to set up but the results are worth the extra care needed to get it up and running. However, tomatoes do need a lot of water on a sunny day, especially when fruiting, so the best self watering planter is one that contains as much water as possible. The Autopot System
