In Dec. 1998, we walked into Gardenworld and stopped at Jim’s Gardensmart. We looked and soon Jim told us how much pleasure we would have to see plants grow well. I must admit we fell in love the System. The first time you start, you need a few things, but you can add on over the years. Yes, it does cost you for your first outlay of pots, nutrients, pumps etc. What ever way you want to start, do it bit by bit and with advice from Jim. We have had so much joy in seeing our plants grow - we have had tomatoes, spinach and spectacular flowers. What ever you grow is fantastic. You cannot go wrong and as you get to understand the system better, it is not hard.
Jim told me to put some of my orchids in the pot. At first I didn't believe you could grow orchid in the pots. But I had a small plant which hadn’t flowered in 8 years it was one hard to flower type. Just one and half years in the Autopot System, we have 8 spikes of flowers. We can imagine how spectacular it would be when Jim’s 200 cascading Cymbidum (Sarah Jean, Plush Canyon, Ms Moffet etc) orchids in Autopot hanging baskets come into flower.
Our 40 Autopot hanging baskets look fantastic. What ever you want to grow will work and you can have colour in your garden with a minimum of fuss. Yes, Jim’s System has given us lots of pleasure. We have been happy with the Autopot System and I am sure a lot of other people will like it too.
It is a good investment, even if you add on a bit year by year as we did. The money you spend is worth it, over the years.
