About this deal

Simply construct the bamboo structure in the plant halo, fill with compost, sow your seeds, and watch your tomatoes thrive. Our kit includes: Using our Plant Halos will stimulate rapid root growth for healthier plants, cut down on watering, and increase your crop yield. The halos have spikes on the bottom, so position them on the growbag (you should be able to fit 3 on there) and push them down onto the plastic to create holes. Lift the halo off and cut a circle with some scissors following the curve of the 6 holes you have just made. Remove the circle of plastic and use a garden hand fork to loosen the earth in the growbag to allow the roots of the tomatoes to grow down into it. A tomato halo is a circular or ring-shaped support that helps tomato plants grow upright and prevents them from toppling over. They are often used in grow bags, which are bags made of breathable fabric that are filled with soil and used to grow plants. Tomato halos can help tomato plants grow taller and produce more fruit. A 3 litre outer 'moat' features six watering spikes, delivering water direct to the plant's roots. This ensures that water and liquid feed are delivered at a slower rate that the plant is better able to absorb.

The central inner pot creates the planting area. This is particularly useful when used with grow bags because it allows for a deeper planting zone. Therefore, it will develop healthier plants. The pot has a 3.1 litre outer ‘moat’ which features six 2.8cm watering spikes. These spikes penetrate below the surface to deliver water straight to the plant’s roots. Therefore, water and liquid feed are delivered at a reduced rate and are better absorbed by the plant. As a result, water wastage is prevented – something which is common with conventional watering. It typically takes between 3 and 6 hours for the water reservoir to drain fully, depending on the weather and soil conditions.

2. Use a Pot as a Planting Guide

The Garland plant, also known as the Rose of Sharon, is a deciduous shrub that is native to East Asia. The plant gets its name from the Greek word for “milk,” as the flowers are said to resemble droplets of milk. The Garland plant is known for its large, showy flowers that bloom in a variety of colors, including white, pink, purple, and red. The flowers are borne on long, arching stems and are surrounded by large, leafy bracts. The Garland plant is a popular choice for gardens and landscaping due to its long blooming season and ease of care. You can also reuse old plastic pots to help water other thirsty plants such as squash. In this case there’s no need to cut off the bottom. Just dig a hole next to the plant for your pot reservoir. Bury the pot almost up to the rim, then fill with water. The water will gradually seep out into the root zone of the plant, right where it’s needed. 2. Use a Pot as a Planting Guide

Remove a tomato plant from its pot and place into the halo, then add more compost up to the cotyledons. For those of you who don’t remember your botany, tomatoes and most broad-leaf plants have 2 seed leaves called dicotyledons and single grasses (sweetcorn and alliums and so forth) have 1 seed leaf called a monocotyledon. This is how herbicide works. This is why they can spray a field of sweetcorn for broad-leaved weeds because it will act on the dicotyledons and leave the monocotyledons unaffected. Press the Tomato Halo firmly into the soil and ensure that all the spikes are fully buried. Step 4. Simply take an old plastic pot and cut off the bottom with a sharp knife or scissors. You now have your halo.Position your tomato plant in the center of the halo so that the top two or three sets of leaves are above the center ring. Holding the plant in place, fill the inner pot with soil or Container Mix from Step 2 to within 1.5" of the top. Step 5. Because of the cold nights that we are still receiving at the moment, we are going to place some fleece over them. Place a cane into one of the 3 smaller holes in each halo to help support the tomato as it grows. I like to grow mine up strings in the greenhouse, but let’s use a cane for now. Fold the fleece over the halos and they will be perfectly safe and warm during the night, don’t forget to remove it by day. Today’s blog is about how to plant tomatoes in halos in the greenhouse for maximum cropping. I sowed my tomatoes 35 days ago indoors on the 17th March and they are Olivade tomatoes, they are a lovely plum tomato with great flavour and flesh which I really like. You install your Plant Halos into your growbag (or onto soil, they are perfect for three per growbag. You then top up the central feeding chamber with compost. This is the area where the tomato plant has its short, knobbly roots which take in the feed and nutrients. You then leave the outer chamber empty and use this for day to day watering. This has a a 3 litre capacity and you can fill with water when watering and it will slowly dissipate into the growbag through the unique watering spikes - ensuring that all the water is taken up by the grow bag. It typically takes between 3 and 6 hours for the water reservoir to drain fully, depending on the weather and soil conditions.
