Description
Grassroots Living Soil Beds are raised fabric beds with a waterproof MoistureLock liner. The PVC corners are included; the PVC pipe is not.
What's in each bed
- A BPA-free, waterproof MoistureLock liner
- A 4" drainage and aeration strip of USA-made tan fabric
- A bottom seam sewn on the outside with marine-bonded thread to prevent rot
- A triple hem on top for added strength
Good to know
Notice: the beds do not come with the PVC pipes. They do come with the PVC corners, which you cannot find locally. You will have to source your own PVC pipe and cut it to size. The system uses superior-strength 1" PVC.
Assembly instructions for the raised bed are available from Grassroots Fabric Pots.
How MoistureLock works
MoistureLock is a strip of BPA-free waterproof fabric sewn to the inside of the container. It provides several benefits:
-
Directs water downward. This helps avoid dry pockets in the soil.
-
Promotes even moisture throughout the soil. It keeps the soil from drying out from the sides, simulating the way soil dries in nature, which helps the microbiology thrive.
-
Uses less water. There is less surface area for water to escape the container, which means less water usage (lower labor) and lower humidity indoors.
-
Aeration and air pruning come from the 4" strip of breathable fabric toward the bottom of the container.
