Automators Grow Healthier Tomato Plants Four Ways

These deceptively simple tomato plant surrounds will produce healthier, more productive tomato plants with less effort from you. When planting, just slip an automator around the stem of each seedling to suppress weeds and protect against cutworms. Perforated cones direct water to the root zone. Bright red color triggers a natural plant protein that makes tomatoes mature faster and produce more fruit. Easy to use, but provides a big boost to your tomatoes.

  • Grow healthier and more productive tomato plants
  • Delivers water at the root zone and suppresses weeds
  • Protects plants from cutworms and other pests
  • Set of 3

    Comments about Tomato Automators, Set of 3:

    Love, love, love this product. Some of you would say it's not worth the cost for flimsy plastic. But this works! It keeps the tomatoes upright, disease free and it's easy to water and fertilize.

    Comments about Tomato Automators, Set of 3:

    Loved the split which made it easier to put around the tomato plant. Skirting on the outside much too narrow. I live in Oklahoma which has high winds and I ended up putting rocks on top to keep it anchored. I had two black ones bought several years ago and their skirt is larger and you can put dirt around it to keep it anchored in the wind. Works much better than putting a rock on it which might break it,

      Comments about Tomato Automators, Set of 3:

      It was very difficult to get this around the tomato plant without damaging the plant. It would be helpful if it came in two pieces that could snap together around the base of the plant. The plants that weren't damaged in the process of planting with this are doing very well. I would recommend the sheets of red mulch instead.

          When I first saw this, I thought..."a novelty item, but I'll give it a try..what could it hurt." Now I love them. I add my fertilizer and water through it. My tomatoes have never looked happier.

            I bought this item to be used in our garden for the tomatoe plants. They are light weight but should be perfect for our tomatoe plants.

                Purchased these bases for tomato plants to protect them from blight that resides in the soil. Will know more later in the season if I succeeded.

                  I drilled holes and inserted tomato ladders so that I have a one-piece setup that allows easy fertilizer application. Fertilizer slowly dissolves in water in the pan and goes down to the roots on all sides of the plant.

                        I tried to use this in a square foot garden and they do not fit in the alotted area. While trying to get one in it split up the center so I put the other 2 away to try in a larger area which I have not yet done.
