Each pack contains 4 mats that are 7" square
Water Absorbing Granules and Mats for Planters
Granules, Prepacked Mats and Rolls from England
They hold moisture in the soil of hanging baskets and containers, so plants do not dry out as quickly, improving displays and growth even in dry conditions.
Adds Potassium - Not Sodium
Another advantage of Rain-Gel and Rain-Mats is that they slowly release small traces of potassium, unlike other products that release sodium (salt) which can adversely affect some plants.
Place these mats down in the growing medium at root level as you plant each basket, hayrack or planter. These mats soak up water as rapidly as Rain-Gel (granules)but provide a stable reservoir which the roots will actually grow into. Prepackaged Rain-Mats are designed to take the guesswork out of how much material to use. They fit nicely into standard size hanging baskets. They can reduce the need for watering as often.

Rain Mats
I purchased the Rain Mats for use in my hanging baskets last year. What a difference they made both in the health of the plants and the frequency in watering. I will never plant another hanging basket without using them.

Rain mats are great for dry periods.
I have been ordering these rain mats for a few years now, and am always pleased with how they hold the water.

Rain mats
This product is ideal to retain the earth in small decorative flower/plant containers!

Uncertain
I added the mats to the moss liners which I also purchased from Kinsman. After I put the moss liner in the basket, I added an aluminum cake pan (pierced with scissors) to the liner and then the mat. I added gardening soil and planted the basket. Then I soaked the basket in a large bucket. The liner expanded into ?plastic granules? - this makes sense if the granules hold moisture (I assume so). We have received adequate moisture so I will wait to see how often I need to water when rain stops.
