Anybody know where the cheapest place to by vattex matting for watering your plants would be?

Thanks,

Supplies Help please....
I wish I did know.... I keep meaning to check around for best price & order some! (I'm assuming vattex is a brand of capillary matting.)
Sorry not to have a more helpful response other than bumping the thread up, LOL.
I did a search on "vattex matting" and received several results. When I tried to look at them, it was confusing because everyone seems to sell them in different sizes. However, one known name was Bluebird Greenhouse:

This was another result:

A third result seems to sell in very large quantities:

Good luck. :)

Wonderful! Thank you all.
Now if only I could afford a GIANT humidifier...my babies would be set!lol

Thanks Allison! I knew I had seen it somewhere.

I'll be putting in an order to IGS on Monday! It looks like they have good reviews on GW. If anyone would like me to order some for them, please Dmail me. I'll be ordering at least 50 inches, so the cost would be 17.6 cents per inch, including their 10% shipping charge (I'll pay the $4 handling since I'm ordering anyway), plus the cost of first class postage from me to you (I figure it can go in a BE and should weigh less than 13 oz.
When calculating how much you need, remember that it's 48 inches wide. That means that 1 foot of material will be enough for two 11x22" PermaNest trays.
I'm not anticipating a flood of Dmails from interested folks, but just in case I should probably cap this offer at, say, 10 people.
Thanks for the link!
How do you keep this clean ?
I've wanted to order one of their water wand hoses that even has a container for fertilizer for a couple years ! I might get this as getting water from my kitchen to plant room is hard for me this would work wonders !
Allison, I've seen little coil hoses for outdoor use that would also work with a faucet adaptor. I have a couple that I got for maybe $15 each, and I've seen them on sale for less than that. They may not be quite as compact as that mini hose reel from IGS, but they'd cost less too.
Yeah I like the little compact small one hooks to the sink and I also like the idea of the fertilizer on it. It's like and easy looking to use so maybe I can do it ?
I've eyed this one can't beleive I never bought it for the prices is right ! Comes with everything too !
