Automatic Watering Kit - AutoPot AQUAbox Straight by Autopot

Automatic Watering for Narrow Beds and Planters

The Automatic Watering kit, specifically the AutoPot AQUAbox Straight, is a compact, power-free solution designed for narrow raised beds, planters, and allotment plots. This innovative product is installed directly into the growing area and uses buried capillary matting to efficiently distribute water and nutrients through the surrounding soil.

When connected to a suitable reservoir, the AQUAbox Straight operates via gravity and utilizes AutoPot’s AQUAvalve5 technology to seamlessly control water delivery.
