Assembly and User Guide
• Thread wick material through spikes (Repeat x 4) (Fig. 1.)
• Push spikes into position on the reservoir (Fig. 2)
• Position your reservoir in a location that is stable, flat and
suitable for your plants. (Note: due to the heavy weight it
should not be moved once the set up is complete).
• Place the planter on to the reservoir. (Fig. 3)
• Lay the breather fabric in the planter (Fig. 4) and at the
same time push the spikes through the slits in the fabric
so that it is flat on the bottom. Ensure that all holes on the
bottom of the planter are covered by the fabric.
• Fill with a suitable compost to just below the lip of the
planter.
• If your plants require support, it is a good idea to fit canes
now (Fig. 5)
• Holes on the edge of the reservoir line up to show the
position of the cane support holes.
Tip: Use the thin end of the cane to help locate hole, then
turn the cane back round.
Important: Your cane should be no bigger than 15mm in
diameter.
Planting Tips
Plan where you are going to position your planter so that the
plants have enough space to grow.
Press down on compost once planting is completed. Compost
needs to be touching the wick to work properly.
Lightly water plants from above after planting to help give
the plants a kick start and to settle the compost for the wick
system.
Most plants can be grown in the Flower & Vegetable Waterer,
including;
• Tomatoes
• Strawberries
• Courgettes
• Lettuce
• Herbs
• Runner beans
• Peas
• Flowers
• Cucumber
• Cabbage
• Spinach

Filling the reservoir
The reservoir holds 15 litres of water and can be filled either
with a watering can through the window on the filler door or
with a hose pipe using a connector. The water level indicator
wheel will move round as it is being filled. The reservoir is full
when the Dial shows Max. (Fig. 6).
When do I need to refill?
The water can be topped up at any time but should always be
filled up again once you can see the tap and water drop on
the wheel. (Fig. 6)
How often do I refill?
This is dependent on where your planter is set up, the
temperature, type of plants and the maturity of your plants.
Check the water indicator regularly.
Feeding your plants
Liquid feed can be added directly into the reservoir or into the
compost once it has been premixed with water according to
manufactures instructions.
End of the growing season
The planter must be lifted off the reservoir and remove spikes,
wicks and breather fabric. Wash all components thoroughly
and allow to dry before storing indoors over winter. Hozelock
recommends replacing the wick material and breather fabric
with a new set each year. For spares and accessories, please

Assemblage et guide d’utilisation
• Faites passer les mèches à travers les pointes (Répétez la
tâche x 4) (Fig. 1)
• Positionnez les pointes à l’intérieur du réservoir (Fig. 2)
• Positionnez votre réservoir sur une surface stable, plate et
adaptée à vos plantes. (Remarque : une fois le système mis
en place, ne pas déplacer en raison du poids).
• Placez la jardinière sur le réservoir. (Fig. 3)
• Disposez le tissu drainant dans la jardinière (Fig. 4) et faites
passer les pointes dans les fentes du tissu afin que celui-ci
reste bien à plat dans le fond. Assurez-vous que tous les
trous dans le fond de la jardinière sont recouverts par le
tissu.
• Remplissez la jardinière avec un compost adapté en veillant
à ne pas dépasser le rebord de la jardinière.
