Farm Tub DIY Self-Watering Conversion Kits

Farm Tub offers Do It Yourself (DIY) Farm Tub Self-Watering Conversion Kits to convert any stock tank or water holding planter into a Farm Tub growing system. The kit, which helps you create a self-watering planter, includes a reservoir insert, spacers, capillary wicks, a fill tube and Farm Tub Float water-level indicator and spigot for drainage. All you need is a planter or tank that hold water. If the planter or tank has holes they must be patched before set up.

We offer kits in 2’x 3′, 2′ x 4′, 2’x 5′, and 2’x 6′  rectangular sizes, and 3 ft rounds. Customers use a jigsaw to cut the insert platform to fit your tank or planter.

If you have a Hastings Brand stock tank, we offer pre-cut inserts (as seen in this photo), in 3′, 4′, 5′, 6′  long (M and L widths) and 3×2 round.  Even with a Hastings tank, you may need to adjust the platform to fit your tank.
