Outdoor quadgrow for tomatoes
HELP! I recently bought the basic 4 plant quadgrow which I will be using out of doors, and will not be able to protect it from rain. I cannot find info on the website about the inevitability of rainwater. Does anyone know if the wicking system will give less water to the plant if the compost is wet from rain? If not how do i manage the rainwater / system water combo?? Does anyone have experience?

I'll see if I can find it.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

@BenCotto uses them so he might be able to help if he sees my tag on his name

Depending on location you are going to need to support the trusses if the fruits are of a heavy variety, as I have had several snap due to the wind.
Hope this helps.

Will be interested in the reply too, @julessanger
Did your courgettes work? I'm not sure they like getting wet roots. (Roots do tend to grow down into the tanks of QGs.)
Meanwhile has anyone got the holiday watering kit to work? Mine leaks at the tap. It's driving me nuts.
