Getting Started with Georgie

Frequently Asked Questions

How much soil do I need to fill Georgie?

Georgie has a 175L soil capacity. We recommend using quality potting mix and adding perlite to fill the 11 aeration holes at the base of the planting container. Finish with a layer of mulch, such as organic sugar cane mulch, 3–5cm deep to help retain moisture and support healthy growth. For full instructions, see the Georgie Digital User Guide.

What should I plant in my Georgie?

You can grow almost anything in Georgie. A great place to start is with our Georgie Digital User Guide, which recommends what to plant based on your season and region. You can also visit our Growing Guide page for a detailed list of what to grow in your specific climate zone. Keep in mind that planting times can vary depending on local conditions, so our guide is designed to be just that, a guide. We recommend noting what works well for you each season to help refine your future planting plans.

How does the self-watering system work?

Georgie has a built-in wicking reservoir at the base of the planter that holds up to 25L of water. The soil draws up moisture as the plants need it, helping maintain consistent hydration and reducing the chance of overwatering or underwatering.
