Upgrade your existing pot with proven WaterUps wicking technology. Perfect for indoor plants and decorative containers.

Key Features

• 370mm diameter top plate
• 270mm base diameter
• 133mm high reservoir
• 9-litre water storage capacity
• Dual inlet pipe system
• Designed for pots 370mm or larger

Dual Inlet Design

• One pipe acts as a water inlet
• One pipe acts as a reservoir level indicator

Simply fill until the red indicator reaches the top — then stop.

There is no overflow pipe, making it ideal for indoor use.

No leaks.
No carpet damage.
No nutrient leaching.

Why It Works

• Creates a perched water table beneath the soil
• Plants draw moisture via capillary action
• Reduces watering frequency
• Prevents wet-dry stress cycles
• Keeps nutrients in the root zone
• Cleaner, more controlled watering indoors

NOTE – 0.5L of perlite is needed. A Reservoir Level Indicator is not included in this price but is recommended for inside use. The wicking cell needs to be secured to the round base using 3 screws (not supplied). After placing inside your pot, fill the gap around the outside with gravel. Fill the leg with perlite and cover the entire base with geotextile fabric. If you skip this step and simply fill your pot with soil, the soil around the outside of the wicking kit will siphon the water out of the kit resulting in rapid emptying of the water reservoir.

The AHVG chicken grazing frame solves this problem by restricting access to the plant roots whilst providing constant soil moisture thanks to the 50L water reservoir. Chickens can nibble away at the green growth poking up through the mesh. It’s tough enough to cope with chickens walking on it.

The frame is built with a solid bottom ring which contains the liner, WaterUps wicking cells, inlet and outlet pipes. The top ring is attached to the bottom ring with a pair of hinges and held down with a clasp. This allows you to open the lid to add more seeds, replenish the soil etc. The galvanised aviary mesh separates the chickens from the base of the plants. The kit comes fully assembled. You just need to put the liner, cells, inlet and outlet pipes in. The kit includes the required perlite and soil and a small bag of seeds to grow your first crop for your chickens.

Dimensions
1310mm x 510mm x 300mm (l x w x h)

Included in the kit
Timber framed bed with hinged top lid with galvanised aviary mesh fixed to the frame and a clasp to secure it.
Liner
