How an Autopot system can benefit you.
For hobby growers:
- Control of over watering and under watering.
- A solution to the time problem. Especially in summer when many plants need water two or more times a day to give the best results.
- The ability to take a vacation. Every Autopot System is designed to give a long period of watering and even the systems with relatively small storage tanks can be switched over to larger tanks for the period that you are away.
- Avoidance of the drip problem. Particularly with hanging baskets used indoors, excess watering can be a problem. With Autopot Systems, there is no run off, hence you are able to put one pot plant below another.
For commercial growers:
- Water conservation. The cost of purification or supply of good quality water is one that continually increases, Autopot systems are extremely water efficient as the plants only take what they need.
- Avoidance of costs associated with nutrient recycling. Particularly where legal or financial constraints dictate the elimination of pollution by run off or the cost of water supply is high, the AutoPot Systems excel. No capital cost for pumps, ponds, disposal and treatment. No running costs in fuel or power for pumping.
- Avoiding overhead watering problems. Plants that need sub-irrigating to avoid damage to flower or foliage love the Autopot System.
