Mark Rayner makes a mobile, self-watering planter. Capillary action draws water from the moist matting, up through the unsealed pot base. This will keep the potting mix moist. Then as your tomato plant grows, you can tie it to the frame.
You will need: 19mm plywood cut to the following dimensions: 400mm x 310mm for the base, 310mm x 310mm for the back, two of 310mm x 150mm for the sides.
20mm x 20mm garden stakes cut as following: - two 1.7m and five 350mm lengths. Large terracotta pot, hammer and 40mm galvanised nails, screwdriver and 40mm screws, drill with drill bits, red vitreous glass mosaic tiles, 3 x plastic water bottles, 400mm x 310mm red plastic storage box, (ours come from Mitre 10 Mega), 4 x small castors, paintbrush and exterior PVA glue. Resene Terracotta Sealer and Resene Quick Dry, Resene Lumbersider tinted to Resene Red Hot. A 400mm x 310mm piece of coconut fibre matting (we used a hanging basket liner), tomato plant and quality potting mix.
