Where to grow?
We have products to help you grow indoors and outdoors. You don’t need a garden. All you need is a small space or window sill. We have provided all the products customers need to grow on their balconies, terraces, rooftops and window boxes. We also provide solutions for growing anywhere indoors from conservatories and greenhouses to offices, kitchens and lofts. If your indoor gardens require plant lighting, air conditioning or heating systems we have the products to help.
What to grow?
Visit our seeds section for a wide variety of chillies, herbs, lettuces, salad accompaniments and vegetables. If you love cooking and the flavours you get from fresh herbs, why not start your own herb garden on your kitchen windowsill. It's as simple as getting a windowsill tray, pots to fit, quality soil and your choice of herb seeds, whether they be basil, coriander and any number of gourmet lettuce, its all here.
How to grow?
We offer a full range of growing media to suit every type of gardener. From grow bags to quality composts, natural propagation blocks to clay pebbles and rockwool slabs. Our quality composts come with 30% perlite to increase drainage and enable a healthy, productive root zone. Used in pots or hanging baskets they are perfect for anything from herbs to tomato vines and fruit trees.
For the more experienced or adventurous gardener we have recirculation and NFT systems, and can advise on manual watered hydroponic systems utilising coco fibre and rockwool. The advantage hydroponic growing media have over soil is the amount of air they hold in the root zone when fully saturated. Plants take up food and water more efficiently when they have sufficient oxygen within the medium. Coco fibre, clay pebbles, rockwool and perlite all hold more air in their structure than soil when they are soaked. The extra oxygen also helps to minimise the risk of root disease and pest attacks.
If you're looking to recharge your garden beds and be able to do it regularly without having to go out and buy soil, our range of home composting solutions suit most customers needs. Wormeries are great in any size garden and can help to get the whole family involved in the backyard. Watching your food scraps be turned into compost and rich liquid plant food, to again reap fresh, tasty vegetables is a great experience for kids. If you don't have the space or the time for a live wormery and you still want to compost at home, Bokashi bins are your answer. Simple to use and taking up minimal space in your kitchen, they also provide both compost and a liquid plant food for your garden. They are so easy to use it takes no more time than throwing your scraps in the bin.
Tired of the cold and unpredictable weather delaying your outdoor vegetable patch. Why not bring your propagation stage indoors. We have endless solutions for starting off your outdoor gardens inside, earlier than you would normally be able to. From small grow tents, propagators, cubes for seedlings and cuttings and a range of plant lighting and control gear to give your plants the best possible start in your own custom greenhouse.
Growing Life has recently redesigned the layout of the shop. The new layout makes it much easier to view our range of products. We have also added a few more featured displays such as the raised timber grow bed demonstrated with the new grow bed self watering invention from Autopot and propagator and pots section.
Our new growing media stacking system has also made it a lot easier to handle larger orders of 50l and 100l medium sacks.
In collaboration with www.videojug.com Growing Life recently produced a range of videos covering how to grow and dry herbs and fruits. All of the videos can be seen here.
The Aerogarden is an indoor hydroponic garden which allows people to easily grow a wide variety of herbs, lettuce, cherry tomatoes, herbs, chili peppers, edible flowers, and more in an energy-efficient, organic-based environment.
It takes around five minutes to set up and includes everything you will need to get your first crop to full cultivation. A great product.
We now stock the full Field Marshal range of nutrients, additives and treatment - visit www.fieldmarshal.info to see their site.
This specialist range is designed for hard water and is ideal for London growers and gardeners. The nutrients include formulas for growing in soil, coco fibre and hydroponics and the additives are rather special too. We trialed Root Mash (beneficial micro-organisms) over the last few months and have seen the best cutting/rooting success that we’ve ever had.
An enzyme product that breaks down old root mass creating the ideal conditions for new roots to grow bigger and stronger and making more nutrients available. The benefits?
*Plants will complete their growing cycle faster *Plants will benefit from improved soil health and microbial activity *Reduce the risk of loss of crop *Increase volume of foliage and flowers *Significantly increase any harvest
We at Growing Life regard it as the best enzyme product in Europe and US - meeting highly stringent US regulations... where most European manufacturers fall down. Hygrozyme doesn’t have a shelf life either as the enzymes are only activated when you decide to activate them in solution whereas most ‘enzyme’ products are pre-activated with a short shelf life.
