Yo ppl, just got my airpots today and had no idea or instructions as to how to put this together lol, so for those like me here are some instructions which i found to help you put them together!
How to assemble Air-Pots
All Air-Pot containers must be assembled so that the cones with holes are pointing outwards.
Assembly Instructions:
For Air-Pots - up to 50 Litres
Your Air-Pots will be delivered as a flat pack, ready to be assembled, so the first thing to do is to unpack your Air-Pot Kits and check that all the walls, bases and green fixings are there.
Lay out the walls with the holes pointing down. The cones without holes, are at the top of the pot. (This helps stop the water run out when you irrigate). It is easiest if this top edge is lying away from you on your bench. You will find a long cone, 3 rows up from the bottom of the wall, and this edge should be closest to you.
N.B. The 1, 3 & 5 litre Original Air-Pots do not have this longer cone.
The holes at the bottom of all the Air-Pots are bigger to allow more air flow below the base.
Place the base in the groove 3 rows up or above the long cones. (Only 2 rows up in the 1 litre). The flat side of the base should face down and the ribbed, or rounded side, should be facing up into the compost.
Wrap the left side over the base first.
Then the right side comes and wraps over the left. The cones of the overlap nestle into each other to form the pot.
Screw in the fixing at the top of the Air-Pot, through the overlap in the first row below the reservoir.
Screw in until tight.
Up to and including the 5 litre Air-Pot only one fixing is required. For bigger pots the second fixing should be screwed through the overlap just above the base, (4th row from the bottom.).
At the end of the season simply unscrew the fixing and store the Air-Pot flat until the next time it is required.
