Crew Potting Mat - Midnight (2 sizes)
Crew Potting Mats make potting and repotting a pleasure. They act as a soil saver too. If you love plants, but not the mess or clean-up, or don't have a dedicated area for repotting, this is the solution you didn't know you needed. Once you have one, you'll wonder how you did without it (I love mine, can you tell?).
Use it inside or outdoors, on any bench-top, the coffee table while you watch tv (my favourite), the dining room table, even the floor - anywhere is fine when you have a potting mat as it protects surfaces and keeps mess contained. Makes potting and repotting so much more enjoyable. When finished potting up, un-do one corner to tip leftover soil out to keep and reuse. These are great for the kids too!
Easy to use. Easy to store.
Folds flat or rolls up to pop away when not in use. When you need it, snap the 4 corners together, and you've got a water-resistant, mess-proof mat to use anywhere, anytime. When done, un-do one corner to tip leftover soil out to keep and reuse. Then un-snap all 4 corners, fold flat or roll up, and pop away for next time. Done! Such a simple, practical solution to no planty mess. Made to use again and again. This is not a throw away or single-use product.
TIP: Makes a great present for a reluctant re-potter (like me), who loves their plants but hates the hassle, mess and clean-up!
Materials
The Crew Potting Mat in Midnight is made of black, woven nylon with a water-resistant coating. Stitched woven edges and 4 sturdy snap-close corners, Note the coating on the inside of the material makes potting mats water resistant and splash proof, but not fully waterproof, no paddling pool for ducklings here ;) The large size holds the side up more firmly than the extra large. For the extra large you have way more room but the sides may fold down in the middle.
Which size should you get?
Measured flat the large is 75cm x 75cm and extra-large is 1 metre x 1 metre square. Measured with corners connected the large is approx 55 x 55cm and extra-large is approx 80cm x 80cm. Please note due to how big it is, the extra-large doesn't have as rigid sides as the large.
Sizes are measured flat, so once the corners are connected they are about 10cms smaller than the measurements above on all sides. With these I find it's best to move up a size if you're unsure to allow for that. Large is the most popular size. Allow a cm or two above / below those sizes by the way, as sometimes I find the measurements vary slightly.
Colours
This is for Midnight (black) with black trim and brass snaps, in your choice from 2 sizes, large or extra large. These potting mats are also available in Shell (pastel pink). If you scroll through the photos the last photo is my son using the 1mx1m size with plenty of room to spare.
