Ebb and Flow Mat Significantly Reduces Labor Cost

Why Use Complicated Labor Intensive Irrigation Systems? When You Could Be Growing Like This! |

According to Cresswell & Huett, Management of Nursery Runoff, 1996, up to 80% of the applied water falls between the pots: water distribution is generally uneven, with the pots most remote from the sprinkler sources obtaining least water: as much 80% of the water entering the pot mix may rapidly drain away to waste, and is not available to the plant. And, finally, some of the water reaching the pot may be deflected by foliage.
4 Simple Ways Ebb And Flow Cuts Labor
Simple Watering- Ebb and Flow automatic container watering system waters all plants on the mat evenly, imagine eliminating nearly all labor associated with watering. Do away with the need to rotate plants around uneven sprinkler patterns. Forget about costly labor used for maintaining complex automated sprinkler and misting systems. No more checking, fixing, or readjusting over complicated cumbersome drip systems.
Even Consistent Growth-The main advantage of completely even watering is that all plants receive the exact same amount of water needed for optimum growth, so all plants grow at the same rate. This greatly reduces labor of monitoring and sorting plants.
Natural Shielding-A dry highly aerated barrier will form on the top 1/2 inch of the media within the pot. This dry layer stops the formation of algae, fungus, weeds, and the pest and disease that come with them.
No More Mold-Bottom up irrigation keeps foliage of plants dry at all times, stopping devastating molds and bacteria from forming on foliage of highly susceptible plants.
