Capillary mats increase water efficiency, consistent moisture, healthy root development, versatility, eco-friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. Aqua Mats have the most features and benefits but for tighter budgets and more size flexibility, you can customize your own with these bulk components. Use this bulk cap mat in the middle, regular plastic under and the perforated black foil on top. To automate, use a Surface-Blumat or Tropf-Blumat in a pot. For larger systems, attach BluSoak to the Blumat.
