Windowgrow – Get More From Small Spaces
Get more from your patio or windowsill with the Windowgrow planter, which keeps chillies, salad, herbs and micro greens perfectly watered for up to 2 weeks.
The Windowgrow ensures a constant supply of water without sitting plants in water, so plants grow stronger, healthier and faster.
It’s difficult to keep plants in pots in tip-top condition, especially on a windowsill or patio, but this low maintenance planter keeps plants in the best of health thanks to the Windowgrow’s SmartMats, which link the compost to a reservoir, delivering water when and where plants need it without standing them in water.
The removable lid, which keeps compost warm, means it’s a propagator and planter in one, so you can sow seeds directly into the Windowgrow and get them off to the best possible start.

Realise A Great Lawn With Darlac’s Scarifier
Made from powder-coated steel, Darlac’s Lawn Scarifier has 11 replaceable, galvanised steel blades for fast effective removal of moss, thatch and matted grass: The telescopic handles incorporate a simple twist and lock mechanism and extend from 97cm – 1.5m making it easy to adjust for optimum comfort in use.

Raise the handle as the rake is pushed forward and then lower it to make contact with the ground, allowing the thatch to be removed.
In tests, Darlac’s Lawn Scarifier has been particularly well received, achieving a 5* rating in the UK national gardening press. Priced from around £29.99.
For complete lawn care combine the Scarifier with Darlac’s Hollow Tine Aerator, which stimulates root growth, helps drainage in winter and can also prevent soil drying out during the summer. Priced from around £17.95.
