Urbin Grower
The
Urbin Grower Elite is one of the most efficient raised bed gardening containers
in the industry. The raised bed design waters plants from the bottom up like
nature intended. It’s a perfect fit for the balcony gardener or patio gardener with
limited space. Home gardeners can harvest spring peas, summer greens and
lettuce and fall kale or spinach. Want to grow squash, cucumbers, beans or
peas? No problem! The instruction manual easily shows you how to grow
vegetables vertically. It is also ideal for strawberries, ornamental plants and
tomatoes.
Water Your Plants like Nature Planned
The
Urbin Grower Elite waters your plants from the bottom up – just like nature
designed. An “air gap” is created under the soil separator between the soil
above and the exposed water reservoir below. The plant roots draw the water
vertically through the “air gap” into the soil carrying vital nutrients with
it. The experts say a pint of water below is equivalent to a GALLON of water
when watering traditionally from the top. Additionally with an exposed water
reservoir, there is no guesswork – you know exactly how much water your plants
desire. It’s a sustainable and healthy way to water your plants.
Increased Nutrient Delivery
As the
water is drawn up from the reservoir and through the soil, vital nutrients
stored in the soil are delivered to your plants rather than nutrients being
washed away when water enters from the top. This results in more vibrant and
healthy plants.
Significant Improvement
over Traditional Pots
Circling roots have always been a
problem
with regular planting
containers according to researchers at Oregon State University. Circling roots
result in reduced nutrients, reduced life span, increased drought and disease.
When plant roots are exposed to the constant “air space” circling roots are
“pruned” off causing the plant to consistently produce new and highly branched
roots. This results in continued growth of the secondary roots that shoot out
within the growing medium.
Made in USA
The
Urbin Grower utility patent materials provide UV protection and made of
food-grade plastic. Its unique design makes it the only growing container of
its kind that is selling now. Its made
in the good ole USA complete with a 5-year warranty.

How the UrBin Grower Works
The UrBin Grower is uniquely designed to use capillary action to draw water up through soil and to take the guesswork out of watering. Plants take the water they need out of the visible reservoir. This way, you can see exactly how much or how little water your particular crops desire. This is a healthy, sustainable way to water your plants. As the water is drawn upwards through the soil into the root systems, it delivers essential nutrients to your plants rather than those nutrients being washed away when you water from above.
In traditional plastic plant pots, roots grow until they hit the inner edge, and then the roots start circling around the pot. Roots that are circling around a pot are more susceptible to the negative effects of excess heat, drought and disease. To encourage strong, healthy roots the UrBin Grower utilizes air pruning, a physical technique that keeps root growth from extending beyond its nutrient-rich growing media, or circling around its container. This is achieved by exposing the root tips to relatively dry air and stopping their growth. The layer of air between the water in the reservoir and the soil separator, air prunes the plant roots. This stimulates further growth of secondary roots that branch out within the growing medium. More roots means more water and nutrients.
Simply place your UrBin Grower™ garden container on the watering tray and then place the soil separator in the container. The soil separator ensures that your soil is not saturated and you will never experience root rot. In two corners of your container, the soil will dip down into the water reservoir and wick moisture up to your root systems. Add your preferred soil mix and plant according to seed packet directions.
