CocoMats

A CocoMat measuring 51cm x 30cm x 3cm made from coco fibres and latex with Root Control Sheet ready cut to size.

CocoMat holds all the moisture required. Fill your tray just once and CocoMat will water the plants for up to ten days.

The CocoMat controls watering by holding and gradually wicking the water to the plants via capillary action.

Simply place your CocoMat into a tray, fill the tray with water, place your seed tray on top and grow!

TEAM YOUR COCOMAT WITH AN AUTOPOT EASY2GO

  1. Cut a section out of one corner of the CocoMat using heavy duty scissors, this is to allow a space for the AQUAvalve and AQUAvalve cover to sit on the tray.

  2. Cut a section out of the root control sheet to allow access to the AQUAvalve and AQUAvalve cover.

  3. Place the CocoMat in the tray, place the root control sheet on top of the CocoMat – gold face up.

  4. Place the AQUAvalve and AQUAvalve cover on the surface of the tray in the space that you have cut out. Now place small pots or seed trays on the surface of the root control sheet.

  5. Ensure that the pots / seed tray is flat based and allows the growing media to make contact with the surface of the root control sheet.

  6. Water through each seed cell or pot once from the top to ensure that the capillary action starts between the surface of the root control sheet and the media at the bottom of the pot.

  7. Now connect your AQUAvalve to your reservoir, fill the reservoir with water and add nutrients, if required
