What Happens in Pots that Shouldn’t?

Dirt leaks but water doesn't

How many times have you poured water into a pot and found the soil coming out the bottom? That soil is your plants home and watching soil particles pass through the opening at the bottom of the pot is akin to part of your living room walking out the front door. The soil provides nutrients to the plant and the more soil, the greater availability of nutrients. Separating the soil from a drainage medium is an essential step in creating the proper environment for plants. Without proper drainage, plants develop root rot, the death sentence for plant and garden growth. Good drainage is essential to plant growth and to long plant life. Rocks found in the yard are contaminated, ineffective and provide no separation from the soil. Many people are not aware that over-watering actually kills more plants than the lack of watering.

Potter’s Patch creates the "creative space" your pots, planters and gardens need to filter and drain soil. The filter fabric separates the soil from the drainage medium. Instead of rocks that end up clogged, the three dimensional core of Potter's Patch provides a 95% void to help water move through the plant.

Filtration, separation and drainage! Three ingredients for plant growth.

What is Potter's Patch?
Potter's Patch, a patent-pending product designed from materials used by landscape architects on commercial planters provides the home gardener with an inexpensive tool to improve the condition of soil in interior planters and pots. It comes in easy-to-use rolls, can be cut for any size pot, planter, or box, will not rot or decay, and can be reused year after year in pot after pot.

How Potter’s Patch Works
Quite simply, Potter’s Patch creates a perfect condition for proper plant growth. The three-dimensional mat spaces the soil from the container while the filtering fabric separates the soil and prevents clogging. While creating the perfect condition for flowerpot drainage, the Patch allows the soil to thoroughly wet out.
