High quality Capillary Matting which transports water quickly and evenly over flat surfaces. This matting is ideal for use in your greenhouse when you’re creating an easy, automatic way to water your plants. It allows you to water large numbers of plants from one source of water – so from a reservoir of water hooked onto your greenhouse shelving or staging.

Capillary Matting is a 1/8” (3mm) thick, non toxic, cotton/polyester material with a water holding capacity of about 5 pints per sq. yd.
Dark grey on one side and white on the other, this matting can be used either way up. Its dark side is useful for hiding unsightly soil spillage and also discourages algae growth; its white side will reflect more light which can be beneficial when growing light sensitive plants
Supplied 23½” (60cm) wide, if covering a wider area simply overlap the matting by about ½” (1.5cm) to allow water to be carried from one piece to another

TOP TIP

Capillary matting can either be watered by hand or for more constant watering be supplied from a water Reservoir attached to your benches or shelves. The water supply should not be above the area to be watered otherwise flooding will occur – ideally it should be level or no more than 4” (10cm) below.

Tips for efficient use of Capillary Matting:

Turn pots and trays regularly to prevent roots growing into the matting.
Reduce water loss through evaporation and inhibit algae growth by covering with perforated polythene.
Use matting on flat, level surfaces to prevent puddles forming.
To use matting on slatted wooden surfaces pin on a sheet of thick polythene to form a flat surface.
