Two capillary mat sets for seed starting and propagation. Help keep seedlings, clones, and starts more evenly hydrated with upgraded, thicker absorbent capillary matting. The mat distributes water beneath compatible seedling containers, helping moderate changes in moisture between watering sessions.What's includedTwo sets, each approximately 12 inches wide × 23 inches long. Each set includes an absorbent capillary mat and a MicroFab top layer. The pieces may be trimmed with scissors to fit common seed-starting trays, including standard 10 × 20-inch trays.How to useLay the capillary mat in a waterproof tray, place the MicroFab top layer over it, and set compatible growing containers on top so they can wick water from below. The top layer helps reduce evaporation and algae growth and forms a barrier between roots and the matting.Supply water manually or with a suitable automatic arrangement, such as a Surface Blumat, a Tropf Blumat-controlled pot, or a compatible reservoir system.Why use capillary matting? Distributes water beneath multiple seed-starting containers Supports bottom-up hydration without overhead watering Helps reduce rapid drying between watering sessions Easy to trim and rearrange as seedlings develop Suitable for manual or automatic replenishment

We mainly use cap mats in greenhouse and grow rooms. In Europe though they have a great track record for using them in many different ways -- on the ground in gardens, on rooftop, walls, balconies, and even large fields. The bottom layer included in this kit makes it possible to walk on the mat without worrying about small sharp things on the ground causing leaks. It also has the perforated foil for the top to prevent evaporation, algae and biofilm growth. You can supply the water manually, with a Surface Blumat, with a Tropf Blumat in a pot, or with a timer.Here are some of the advantages Water comes from bottom so roots grow down Flexibility -- water different plant types in different sized pots on same bed Move plants on and off without needing to change water lines or emitters Easy set up -- just get water to the bed, don't worry about getting it to the plants Sensitive foliage not spotted by overhead watering Lower water use, little evaporation Increased and uniform growth Low maintenance  Lower costs, less labor

Capillary-Mat Micro-Reservoir Automatically keep a small capillary-mat tray watered A surface Blumat sensor sits directly on the capillary mat and supplies water from the attached glass globe, adding moisture only as the mat begins to dry. It gives small plants a simple, low-maintenance water supply without guessing, frequent hand-watering, pumps, or electricity. If you do add water manually, this will help you see when to add more and how long the tray has gone without water. You can also use on top our clear globes or just a plastic bottle.
