Please click on any of the below images for larger versions.

	Zuchini - in Double pot Hydrotray - Zuchini is one crop that is not happy inside a greenhouse unless it is competely free from shading from nearby buildings or trees. - They prefer to be grown outdoors. - Note on the left is a row of corns growing in 10 inch pots. They share the same source of nutrients.
	A lovely crop of Butterhead Lettuce - In an Autopot window box. - The Autopot window boxes were mounted along a fence in the open. This crop was sown directly into jiffy pellets before being transplanted into 6 inch pots. In just 4 weeks from transplanting, as shown in the picture, we have a delicious celan crop of lettuce. - The window boxes are mounted 1 meter above the ground. Hence, the crop is free from slugs, snails, rabbits or possums.
	Hobbyist George, Melbourne - enjoying harvesting a crop of fancy lettuce. - George have been practising hydroponics gardening for more than 30 years. He has now completely switched over to Autopot Systems due to its simplicity. He has given up NFT and Drip recirculating systems as there were too much attention required to get it working properly. - Note the nutrient reservoir tanks in the background. These two 30-litre tanks are feeding 8 tomato plants, 4 chillies and 4 window boxes.
	Potato growing - in 12inch single Hydrotray - Here is a very effective way of growing potatoes. The sputs are first sown into a 12 inch pot that sits in the 12-inch single Hydrotray. A cut out inverted 12 inch pot is then place over the lower pot as the potato plant have grown to a foot high. The pots are secured together with cable ties.
	Mircro Herbs - Coriander in 4 inch pots - The same can be expected from coriander grown in 4 inch pots in Autopot Window boxes. - Here we do direct sowing of the 50 coriander seeds per pot and within 4 weeks there are ready for picking which will continue for several more months. - Herbs grown in Autopot Systems have been known to very rich in flavour. Much stronger than those purchased from the market.
	Mircro Herbs - Spring onions in 4 inch pots - A row of spring onions in an Autopot window box. - There is no reason not to grow some yourself. With the Autopot window box, it is so easy and convenient. All you need to do is to put in 5 to 6 shallot bulbs into each of the pot and less than 20 days, you will be rewarded for months and months of fresh supplies of spring onion.
	Mircro Herbs - Basil in 4 inch pot - The picture shows a 4 inch pot of Basil which was just purchased from a nursery. - In this case, no repotting or replanting necessary. All that is required is to place the pot into the slot of the Autopot window box and the day to day watering and feeding will be perfectly managed by the built in Smart-valve. - In fact, you can start picking the herbs from day one and continue for months.
	Herbs - Parsley in Hydrotray double. - Two types of herbs can be grown from a single double pot tray. - as seen this picture, the parsley is going on nicely with another type of herb in another pot sharing the same tray fed by a single Smart-valve.
	Carrots - Melbourne Australia - Hydrotray single 12" unit ideal for growing carrots. You can plant as many as 20 in a pot. - Growing medium used is good quality potting mix or blended with 20 to 30% perlite.
	Sweet Corn in Single 12" Hydrotray - Melbourne - we can put in 3 to 5 plants into one 12inch pot. - growing medium used can be potting mix or perlite/vermiculite mix.

	Micro Herbs - direct sowing of Coriander in seedling trays on Autopot Capillary tables. - Melbourne - the concept here is to consume herbs while they are young and tender.
