The experimental mat has been out for about a week now, but extremely high winds during a storm last night pulled up a corner of the mat spilling out the contents.

Luckily the majority of the plants were able to be saved, so we have one empty spot now.

I added some weights to the four corners to hopefully prevent this from happening again.

This is why we're experimenting! Learning what works and what doesn't with the setup.

Any plans for an improved version?

I'm sure there will be a lot of small improvements over time..I already added weights to the corners, and will probably try some design ideas from a link suggested from the original thread.

Hope it works better this time around!
