The EasyFeed gives you a programmable timer on a gravity-fed system, which means you're in the driving seat without needing a pump or mains power. Thicker pipes than the competition, designed to scale with you, and built on feedback from growers sick of blockages and maintenance headaches. One a lot of people are switching to.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eEasyFeed System - 22 litre\u003c\/strong\u003e is a \u003cstrong\u003egravity-fed bottom-feeding hydroponics setup\u003c\/strong\u003e that combines the simplicity of passive systems with programmable control. Using a battery-powered timer and no electricity, it bottom-feeds nutrient solution from a flexi tank into 22-litre fabric pots at intervals you set—hourly, daily, every few days, whatever your growing cycle needs. It's designed for growers tired of hand-watering or worried about leaving plants unattended, but who want more control than a standard float-valve system gives them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it compares\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEasyFeed sits in a space most other systems don't quite fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003evs Autopot:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both gravity-fed and simple, but EasyFeed's timer gives you scheduling control. Autopot is more passive—water when the float valve says so. EasyFeed is you deciding when plants feed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003evs IWS Flood \u0026amp; Drain:\u003c\/strong\u003e IWS is brilliant for certain media and yields, but it's more complex and costs more.

Set your feed schedule—might be twice daily during growth, once daily during flower, once every 3 days during early establishment. The timer controls how long nutrient flows into the tray each cycle. Bottom-feed continues until the float valve stops flow at your chosen water level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedia choice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWorks best with a 60\/40 coco and clay pebble mix—the clay pebbles at the bottom prevent waterlogging, the coco holds moisture. You can use pure coco, soil, or other mixes, but 60\/40 is the sweet spot for this system. The fabric pots create air-pruning effect as roots hit the pot wall, so they grow downwards instead of circling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeed schedule control\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is where EasyFeed differs from passive systems. Dry periods between feeds matter—they let the rootzone re-oxygenate. Soggy roots slow growth and invite root rot. With EasyFeed, you control exactly when that happens. New plants might feed every 2-3 days. Established plants every 12 hours. You adjust as you go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater level adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFloat valves in each tray can be adjusted up or down, so plants at different sizes can feed at the same time without issues. Small plant needs shallow water level, bigger plant needs deeper. Set them individually.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilter needs cleaning once a week to avoid blockages.

It addresses real problems growers have mentioned—blockages, lack of control, complexity, cost. The fact you can scale it from 2 pots to 100+ without replacing anything is smart. The thicker pipework is a detail, but it's one that stops you cleaning filters every other day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you're at the point where hand-watering feels like a chore or you're worried about leaving plants while you're away, or you want to test bottom-feeding without investing in a full IWS setup, this is worth picking up. Gravity-fed means no pump noise, no electric bill, no power cut worries. Just a timer on batteries and some plumbing. Does exactly what it should, day in, day out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"EASYFEED","offers":[{"title":"4-Pot","offer_id":47916333957290,"sku":"9804","price":189.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-Pot","offer_id":47916333990058,"sku":"9188","price":259.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8-Pot","offer_id":47916334022826,"sku":"125893","price":309.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12-Pot","offer_id":47916334055594,"sku":"9808","price":429.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"24-Pot","offer_id":47916334088362,"sku":"9873","price":699.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"28-Pot","offer_id":47916334121130,"sku":"9874","price":799.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"60-Pot","offer_id":47916334153898,"sku":"9932","price":1599.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/5540\/5400\/files\/4Pot_f6ddf408-0102-498f-8410-37f396b1164d.jpg?v=1769191547","url":"https:\/\/growershouse.co.uk\/products\/easyfeed-system-22-litre","provider":"Growers House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
