AutoPot Root Control Sheet – Protects Roots & Keeps Systems Running Clean The AutoPot Root Control Sheet (116cm x 51cm) is designed to prevent plant roots from growing where they shouldn’t. Used within AutoPot systems such as Tray2Grow, it acts as a physical barrier that stops roots penetrating capillary matting, AQUAvalves, and irrigation channels while still allowing water and nutrients to pass freely. This simple but essential component helps maintain consistent feeding, reduces blockages, and extends the lifespan of both your irrigation system and growing accessories. Please note: this item is purchased to order so extended lead times will apply. Key Benefits Stops root intrusion; prevents roots growing into capillary matting and valves Maintains even irrigation; protects water flow and nutrient delivery Essential for Tray2Grow; designed for use above capillary matting Water-permeable material; allows moisture through while blocking roots Reusable & durable; suitable for multiple grow cycles How It’s Used In Tray2Grow setups, the root control sheet is placed directly on top of the capillary matting before positioning seed trays, micro herb trays, or perforated pots. This prevents roots from anchoring into the mat while still allowing consistent bottom-fed irrigation. It can also be cut to size and used in other AutoPot systems wherever root protection is required. Ideal Applications Tray2Grow capillary matting setups Propagation and seed tray systems Micro herb and microgreen production Any AutoPot system where root control is needed Top Tip: Always use a root control sheet when running capillary matting to prevent root binding and ensure long-term, trouble-free irrigation.
