FAQs
Is the plastic safe for growing food?
Yes it is. Foodcubes are made from food grade poly propylene soft plastic. We use 80% recycled content sourced from the confectionery industry. The plastic has been independently tested and contains no heavy metals or other contaminants. The remaining 20% is food grade virgin plastic.
Does the ground need to be level to install a Foodcube?
To get the optimal wicking performance, your Foodcube should be installed on level ground.
Can Foodcubes be set up in a modular layout?
Yes. The Corner Connector allows Foodcubes to be set up at right angles and enables connection of the water reservoirs which means you retain a single watering point. This results in the ability to set up your Foodcubes in varying designs including U-shape or L-shape.
Is there anything specific I need to know before I put the soil in and start planting?
Before filling a Foodcube or Foodcube Slim with soil it is important to conduct a water test prior, to establish if there are any leaks. There are only a few places where a leak generally occurs as the tubs are made in one piece. Common causes of leaks include:
· Backnut not tightened enough
· Large O ring not installed
· Small O rings pinched when inserting level setter into outlet
· Level setting tube thread not screwed in tight or does not have plumbing tape applied
· Joining tube clamp not tightened enough
If a leak is detected, ensure the back nut has been screwed as tight as it will go. Sometimes it just needs that extra bit of 'oomph' to ensure it is as tight as possible. If leaking persists, there may be a problem with the assembly of the level setter. Pull the level setter out of the outlet to check that the two level setter seals are sitting in the grooves. If the level setter is not lubricated sufficiently prior to pushing it in to the outlet, the seals can slip out of place, causing the leak. Reassemble and conduct water test again.
How much food can I grow in a Foodcube or Foodcube Slim?
Foodcubes can produce approximately 20kgs per annum of leafy greens and the Foodcube Slim can produce approximately 10kgs per annum depending on the crop type.
How often should I change the soil in my Foodcube?
It is recommended that you refresh your potting mix by adding more nutrients from organic compost, worm castings or slow release fertilisers after each growing season. You may need to also add some more potting mix to fill to the top level.
