Improved Plant Quality
Here Are Just Three Ways The Ebb and Flow Mat Improves Plant Quality...
1) Unlike other irrigation systems plants cannot be over-watered. The water is applied through capillary action and naturally ceases before the soil is saturated. Water application is always driven by individual plants needs.
2) Growing and plant conditions are improved by the reduction in splashing. This stops the formation and spreading of plant disease, weed and algae growth within pots is almost completely eliminated. Plant species that are susceptible to leaf pathogens can flourish.
3) Ebb and Flow MAT encourages the aeration required for healthy growth. The plants alway have access to air. Pots are left with perfect water and air filled porosity, promoting healthy growth.
Improved Root Growth With Capillary Irrigation
