Plant Halos - Pack 6, Green

Excellent; has made a world of difference to my tomato plants, planted in grow-bags.. Helps avoid problems with uneven watering, and in the greenhouse, drying out on some of the very hot days we've had. Also the extra depth to plant into (in the "neck" of the halo) gives the plant a lot more support as it's roots go down to the moister compost, rather than just spreading out sideways. I have a good crop of healthy plants. They're easy to water and feed. They are easy to put supporting canes in, too, which makes a lot of difference. The halos will go on for years - I'm using some older ones (which don't have cane supports) stuck into the top of some cheap (55 pence!) buckets and growing chard in them. The reservoir of water in the halo helps provides a slug barrier too...

these are the industry standard halos at a good price Two Wests have been atound a very long time I bought heated greenhouse benches from them 25 years ago and they still work just fine all halos need to have the holes poked through with a tent peg or similar they add a lot to growbags in terms of extra compost for tomatoes

Bought these to see if it will prevent the tomato blite I had last year. They are bigger than I though but very sturdy, they fit perfectly in the pots I have. As I've only just planted the tomatoes in them it's hard to say how well they will work. A word of caution, they sit proud about my plant pots so care has to be taken when moving the pots to hold the plant pot and not the halos. Very pleased with them so far.

Excellent Halos for tomato ring culture either in the greenhouse bed or for use with decent sized Grow Bags. The only issue is the size of drainage holes which is very small and can easily be blocked by debri. The water drains into the soil or Grow Bag very slowly so check the drainage holes are clear and working. Why did you choose this product over others?: Competitive price for this product

A worthwhile investment for anyone who grows their tomato plants in grow bags. Having invested in them myself I have now got some for daughter and she loves the low maintenance watering. She finds that if you keep an inch of water in trough they don’t get to her tomato plants. Personally I top the inner bit off with crushed egg shells to be certain. At end of season just wash them off and let them dry before storing away clean for next year. My only other tips would be to hold growbag on each side and whack it to break up the compose inside it before cutting circles out for the 3 halos per growbag and use the halo to press down and mark out where to cut outside of halos drainage holes.

robust plant halos

I found my plant halo's in a gardening shop whilst on holiday in Ireland. I dragged them all the way back home (half filling my suitcase) as this was the first time I had ever seen them and I knew our garden shop did not sell them as I live on a small Island and items like this are rarely found here. I set up my grow bag and planted my seeds, the halo's are so simple to set up and look so neat on my balcony. I wanted to buy some for a couple of friends birthdays so I looked on Amazon just out of interest as I did not really think they would sell them but there they were and they arrived within a few days...perfect. Wish I had looked on there before buying mine in Ireland, would have saved struggling to get them home.

The pole supports work quite well but the holes in the secondary ring are really poor for drainage compared to other make of halo rings that I use - not great if you are watering through secondary ring and feeding at the top
