Take the guesswork out of watering with our Aquamat Capillary Mat Kits designed for consistent, bottom-up hydration that accelerates vegetative growth and increases soil aeration. Each kit is fully customizable to fit your setup. Choose your mat size, select an irrigation control method, and pick the ideal container for your plants.Even the most strong and powerful tree begins as a fragile sprout coming out of a tiny seed. Nurturing that sprout or clone when it's young requires much more attention than when it's older and in a larger container. In general, the larger the container, the less frequently it needs irrigation; the smaller, the more often it needs watering. For this reason, capillary mats frequently become one of the grower's most time-saving tools for starting seedlings and propagating clones. They water plants from the bottom up, preventing many problems while providing many advantages. Although not well-known in the USA yet, capillary mat systems in Europe have a long history with extensive use. Before these water-holding fabrics became available, people used wet sand beds and even thick layers of newspaper. And even in the USA now, retail garden centers, greenhouses, and nurseries have installed over 8 million square feet of AquaMats, saving roughly 70% of their water use - 889,000 gallons per season per garden center.
