What's good about Orto?
-
Save water
Water is becoming increasingly expensive so it is reassuring to know that wicking beds use up to 50% less water than normal garden beds.
-
Easy on the back
No need to get down on your knees to snip off a few lettuce leaves! The Orto box is at a comfortable waist level height.
-
Follow the sun
On castors you can move the Orto box around to maximise sun in winter or out of the harshest sun in summer.
-
Enjoy your holiday
Don't stress if you have to go away for a week in summer — your plants will be fed water from below and be ready to harvest when you get back. In extreme heat, you may need to top up your wicking beds, but otherwise, they'll be well taken care of!
-
Simple to use
The overflow feature makes it impossible to overwater your plants. You don't need to be an expert to grow your own food.
-
Eat healthy
Having fresh food growing at your back door will change the way you eat.
