Testimonials
"I love gardening, however as a career woman and a mother I find it difficult to be in ten places at once. Sometimes my houseplants and hanging baskets are neglected and I only water them when they begin to wilt. Now I've found a solution, with Plantpal I have blooming great moist plants indoors and outdoors all of the time, making my friends and neighbours wonder how I manage to "do it all". Even better, I don't have to give anyone a key when I go on holiday as I know Plantpal will keep my plants watered for up to a month in my absence. It truly is a wonder for those with busy lifestyles, and a great gist for the person who seems to have it all!"

Keeping containers well watered in summer can be very time consuming, and a hot spell can dry them out with alarming speed. The GardenNews panel tested new products designed to reduce watering need and was very impressed. One tester returned from an unexpectedly extended holiday to find his plants were still in fine form.

Growing Plants In Your Garden For Vegetables
Plant growing is quite an easy task especially if you are willing to provide them with your TLC (Tender Love and Care). Growing tomato plants is quite easy if you take the following steps:
Purchase a tomato plant from any nursery and transplant it to your pot. For the newbie growers, it is right to experiment with plants. However, those who are experienced in plant growing can start with seeds also. They can plant these seeds indoors or in a greenhouse. You can also opt for growing tomato plants in a container placed in the garden if you have space constraints.
Fast growing plants make it easier for you to grow plants entirely in your surroundings only. Apart from grape tomatoes, there are many other varieties of tomatoes that can be grown indoors like Lemon Boy, Brandywine, Celebrity, Creole, Early girl and Big Boy.
According to the rule of thumb, it is necessary that you plant two tomato plants for very individual in the family who consumes tomatoes. This will make sure that you have a very good quality harvest. However, if you are having plans of preparing some salsa, you can plant 4 tomato plants for every single person. It is also cheaper to buy these plants.
It is simpler for growing tomato plants if you have the right sunny areas in your house. Opt for those sites that receive sunlight for 7 plus hours of sunlight in a day. For giving the best taste, tomatoes definitely need an adequate amount of sunshine.
First you will have to prepare the plot by putting huge quantities of compost ranging from five to eight pounds per square foot. Growing tomato plants require a lot of organic matter. So, if you are not able to prepare compost yourself, then purchase one from the market weighing 40 pounds. Over fertilization can prove a hindrance in growing plants. It can cause them to produce more leaves and not tomatoes. It can also make them more vulnerable to diseases and pests. It is necessary that you utilize a suggested recommendation of chemical fertilizers for the right growth of your fast growing plants. For growing plants, it is necessary to receive optimum sunshine. It is also important that you leave large enough spaces between tomato plants for weeding and cutting. The spaces should be almost 18 to 36 inches between each sapling.
Water is also important for the health of growing plants. To obtain adequate results, just water the plant with 16 ounces of hot water per day. While growing plants, make sure that you are able to provide the plant with 4 litres of hot water within 10 minutes of sowing it. After transplanting, some precaution is necessary to prevent the weeds from occurring. Place straw mulch between the saplings for prevention of weeds. This can also ensure hydration of soil during dehydrating weather. Plant growing is really an enjoyable experience as you can savour the results of your labour.
