Take extra precautions when laying mats directly on the ground--it should be clear of debris and gravel. Ideally, the ground should be covered by compacted sand or geotextiles.
Specifications
Water Capacity: 2.1Gal/Sq Yard (9.5L/Sq Meter)

Things to Keep in Mind:
Start capillary action by combining overhead and sub irrigation (for about 7 days, continue overhead watering)
Ensure soil or growing medium is moist
Slope must be less than 0.5%. If slope is greater, split water injections into more frequent but shorter intervals
Use with 12 PSI pressure reducers
Continue until roots have developed or the capillary link has been established
Water consumption should be 50-80% lower than with overhead systems--runoff occurs when mats are filled for 25 minutes or more.
Reduce fertilization rates by 50% due to lack of run-off
