Basket Liners
The Agrotas basket liner fabric by Technical Absorbents Ltd (TAL) can be cut to shape and used to line the base of potted plants and hanging baskets, and can even be used in vertical gardens. It works by absorbing and holding the necessary quantity of water, which then provides an optimum moisture environment for plant growth. Using this technology can decrease overall water usage by up to 50 percent over the growing season, and significantly reduces re-watering frequency. Fertilizer can also be added to the water to aid the control of dosage levels.
