Need for Drain Cell Mats
A terrace garden is a peaceful corner that we all need. It is the best way to stay connected with nature in congested urban living. Setting up a terrace garden is not a complex task. Of the many preliminary things to be considered while building a terrace garden, water damage is one of the important criteria to be checked. Since the garden is made on the top floor, proper drainage should be ensured to prevent water from seeping through the wall. The terrace should contain waterproofing solutions to prevent water seepage into the places below. In addition, an efficient terrace garden demands adequate drainage, rainwater management and irrigation. Waterproofing the terrace is an affirmative choice that may provide permanent solutions. Waterproofing of the space can be done by using concrete covering. But it is not an economical option affordable to beginner terrace gardeners. Also, waterproofing with concrete does not solve the stagnant water problem in terrace gardens.
There are two problems with stagnant water. One is the increased risk of growing moulds and fungus. The second is that plants may absorb this water through the pots drainage holes, indirectly creating an overwatering scenario. Thus, it is wise to buy a drainage mat for your terrace/ balcony gardens. With the mats, the water can be easily removed from the garden floor, keeping the balance intact.
Why use Drain Cell Mats?
- Keeping grow bags/pots directly on the terrace can cause waterlogging, which in turn seeps through the terrace and can cause structural weakness and leakage through your terrace.
- Keeping pots/grow bags for long will help in the growth of fungus and mould, which will make your terrace slippery and prone to damage as well.
Using a drain mat will fix both these important problems and hence it is a must-have if you're taking up gardening seriously.
