Is anyone using capillary matting in their greenhouses or hoophouses? Does it work well? I've seen the ones that have to be damped with soaker hoses and others that have a hose built into a sleeve at the end. Just wondering if it's worth the investment.
Capillary Matting
Hi, Denise...I use the capillary matting in the base of a number of my growing pots for some of the more delicate or tricky perennials such as clematis. I put the cap sheet, cut a little oversized, in the base of a closed tray standard size. It does help to maintain a constant water level for the tricky cuttings to work. It's the only way I have used it...but I wouldn't call it expensive. I have enough for 15 trays and I think it cost about $12 last summer....I use agralan fibertex capillary matting if you want to run a search for it. It comes with a cover as well, but I haven't needed it....MaryAnn
