Free: Growbag waterers (Frenchay BS16) Gifted Two Hozelock growbag waterers. These are designed to take growbags. They have four watering spikes to each waterer which have wicks made of capillary matting threaded through them. New wicks have to be bought each year. One of the watering-spikes broke last year so I ordered a new pack which turned out to be black, which is why the picture shows one of the waterers with three yellow spikes and one black one. That does however mean that there are three spare unused spikes. The two water-level indicators were also new this year. My reason for giving them away is that I am having to downsize and will be moving to a place with no garden.
