Patio planters for Britain’s favourite home-grown veg

Some of Britain’s most popular home-grown vegetables – peas, beans, tomatoes – need more upward growing space, which is not always easy to accommodate on patios and balconies.

Help is at hand, Haxnicks is extending its best-selling Patio Planter™ range with the addition of a green Pea & Bean Patio Planter (RRP £19.99) that comes with a six- foot tall adjustable tubular-steel growing frame; and a red Climbing Tomato Patio Planter (RRP £19.99) complete with a three-sided, metal climbing support frame.

Haxnicks have also launched an alternative tomato planter, the Tomato (Bush & Trailing) Patio Planters (RRP £14.99). A pack of three 45cm-high red planters which provide the extra height needed to accommodate bush and trailing varieties.

The robust planters are made from woven polyethylene and come with sturdy handles on each side. To ensure the best possible drainage, they have reinforced drainage holes in and around the sides of the base. They are ideal for small gardens, patios and balconies and, unlike most large planters, fold away flat for easy storage.

The reusable planters make a great value alternative to regular containers and provide the space-efficient option when space is at a premium. New Haxnicks Patio Planters™ are available now from all good garden centres. For stockists or more information, call Haxnicks on 0845 241 1555.

‘Mix-and-match’ Pots Naturally

Pots Naturally™, a range of long-life, 100% biodegradable pots and saucers, is the latest organic solution from plant protection specialist, Haxnicks. Their fun and bright colours will look good in the greenhouse and around the home.

Made only from compressed natural bamboo pulp, the high-quality pots and saucers are designed to last two or three years and are available in four sizes: 3 inch, 4 inch, 5 inch and 6 inch diameters, in four ‘mix-and-match’ colours: bamboo, aqua, red earth and olive.

They are used in exactly the same way as plastic pots, but are easily disposed of at the end of their life by simply tossing on the compost heap. They should break down in active compost within 6 months.

Pots Naturally™ offer great value for money when compared with the plastic alternatives: they are competitively priced, extremely sturdy and come in a stylish range of colours. Prices range from 99p for a pack of five 3 inch saucers to £4.99 for a pack of five 6 inch pots.

The new Haxnicks Pots Naturally™ range is available from B&Q (in olive only) and from garden centres from February 2009.

The Amazing SpeedHoe™

The amazing SpeedHoe™, the latest innovation from plant protection specialists, Haxnicks, is the gardener’s new best friend in the fight against weeds. It has a unique multi-blade design and angled head that produces a powerful cutting and chopping action with the minimum of effort.

The SpeedHoe’s angled head has sharp blades on the front, rear and sides, creating a powerful, strong cutting action beneath the earth’s surface in whichever direction it is pushed away or pulled back. There’s no need to turn the blade when using it and the compact head makes it efficient and easy to manoeuvre between plants of all sizes, keeping them safe from accidental damage.

The SpeedHoe’s long handle gives a much greater reach and is positioned at an angle ergonomically designed for maximum working comfort, reducing the need for bending and thus minimizing potential aches and strains. Large areas of weed or heavy, lumpy soil can be worked over quickly and with little effort, helping create the best possible growing conditions for plants in beds and borders.

To see the SpeedHoe in action, a short informative video can be viewed on YouTube, or search for: SpeedHoe.

Haxnicks SpeedHoe™ (RRP £24.99) is available from all good garden centres from February 2009. For stockists or more information, call Haxnicks on 0845 241 1555 or click here.
