Product Information

Full details

The Quadgrow Replacement Feeder Mats are essential maintenance accessories for owners of the Garland Quadgrow self-watering planter system. Designed for gardeners looking to ensure consistent plant health, these mats facilitate reliable capillary action to deliver water and nutrients directly to the root zone. While they are highly effective at maintaining moisture, they must be replaced annually to prevent the mineral accumulation that naturally occurs over a full growing season.

FAQs

How often should I replace my feeder mats?

It is recommended to replace the mats at the start of each new growing season to ensure optimal water uptake and prevent mineral blockages.

Do I need to trim these mats to fit my planter?

No, these mats are pre-cut to the exact dimensions of 492mm by 150mm to fit the Quadgrow system perfectly.

Are these mats safe for organic vegetable gardening?

Yes, the materials are safe for use with all types of edible crops, including organic vegetables, herbs, and fruits.

Can I wash and reuse the mats?

While technically possible, it is not recommended as cleaning will not remove the mineral deposits embedded in the fibers that impede capillary action.

How many mats come in a pack?

Each pack contains 4 replacement mats.

Troubleshooting

Water is not reaching the plant roots

Check that the mat is properly seated in the reservoir and is making full contact with the soil medium above.

Visible mineral crusting on the mat

Mineral build-up is a sign the mat is reaching the end of its life; replace with a new mat to restore flow.

Mat feels dry despite a full reservoir

Ensure the mat is not trapped under heavy soil debris; lift the soil slightly to ensure the mat is touching the water source.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures consistent moisture levels for healthier plants
  • Pre-cut to exact specifications for a hassle-free setup
  • Compatible with all Garland Quadgrow self-watering systems
  • Safe for use with all edible produce

Cons

  • Requires annual replacement for maximum efficiency
  • Mineral build-up over time can degrade performance if left unchanged
  • Specific to the Quadgrow system and not compatible with other planter brands

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply remove the old, depleted mats from the Quadgrow channels and clear away any loose debris or soil that may have collected in the trough. Place the new, pre-cut mats into the channels, ensuring they are lying flat and making full contact with both the reservoir water and the growing medium.

For care, avoid using harsh chemicals when cleaning the planter system, as these can damage the capillary fibers. Because the mats are designed to be disposable items, they do not require washing or heavy maintenance during the season; instead, discard them once the season concludes to ensure a fresh start for your next crop.
