 Capillary Matting

If you grow tomatoes in pots capillary matting is a must. It acts as a reservoir supplying a steady supply of water to the pots.

Always label your plants as you want to remember the varieties you are growing! Pens and permanent marker pens will fade, a soft pencil is the only guaranteed method.
