"Excellent Product" star star star star star I have tried to grow herbs in my kitchen for years without success, as the table they are on is in a very sunny position and they always dry up or I overwater them. I have had this product for about a year and it has worked perfectly. At the moment I have basil, thyme, mint and chives in there. I am no gardener, but I would say the key to success with this pot is to ensure that the webbing is thoroughly wet when you start and that its 4 "legs" are down as far as they can be into the water, make sure that the 4 individual pots are totally filled to the bottom with compost with no air pockets.
"Waste of money" star star_border star_border star_border star_border I bought this a few months ago and planted four herbs in it and they all dried up. I took it apart and tried to see how the water could rise up the capillary mechanism. No way can it water the herbs- a very poor design. I took it out today to try again, unsuccessfully. A complete waste of money but too late to return. This should not be sold. support_agent A note from the team Thanks for placing your review. We're sorry the Herb Pot hasn't worked as expected. We'll be in touch shortly to help. - It is recommended before inserting the inner green pots, pour water into the reservoir ensuring the capillary mat is thoroughly soaked. Keep the pot in a well lit position, away from cold draughts but not in summer sun.
"Disappointed" star star_border star_border star_border star_border I recently bought this, but now wish I had read the reviews first! Looks great, but doesn't work nearly as well as I had hoped and I still find myself having to water the plants. I also wish it had been shaped to take the square pots that are sold in the supermarkets (as growing plants) as these are so readily available. Not often disappointed with a Lakeland product! support_agent A note from the team Thanks for placing your review. We're sorry the pot hasn't been as expected. We'll be in touch shortly to help.
"Disappointed" star star_border star_border star_border star_border Product looks to be the fab quality you would expect from Lakeland product but it doesnt seem to draw the water up to the plants. I'm baffled as to how it 'self waters' as my plants all have to be watered from above as normal. support_agent A note from the team Thanks for the review and taking the time to speak to me on the phone. I'm glad I was able to help.
