Improve growing conditions without the need for chemical treatment with our fully biodegradable weed mat rolls.

Our fully biodegradable weed mat roll is made from jute fibres with a biodegradable backing.

Ideal for linear planting, the weed mat roll is robust and easy to install.

The biodegradable weed mat roll retains moisture in arid conditions but allows passage of moisture in damp conditions without compromising the ability to suppress weed growth, resulting in improved growing conditions without the need for chemical treatment.

Benefits:

· Moisture control
· Weed suppression
· Temperature control
· Protection against soil compaction/erosion

Installation:

· Prepare flattened ground by weeding or strimming prior to installation
· Fix into position with pegs or pins
· Overlap ends where possible to restrict weed growth
· To plant through the matting, cut an L shape, fold the corner back and plant

*Oxo-degrading film:
Step 1: Irreversible chemical degradation happens by ultraviolet light, heat, oxygen or film stress, causing the film to become fragmented and water wettable.
Step 2: Micro-organisms attach themselves to the molecules and consume the remnants completing the bio-degradation. The result is carbon dioxide, water and biomass.

Installation:

1. It is important to prepare the ground before laying your matting. Ideally weed the area and/or strim to create a flat surface.

2. Place the roll of weed matting at one end of the area you wish to cover and roll out.

3. Should you need to overlap your weed matting, ensure at least 20-30cm overlap to protect against weeds breaking through.

4. Once laid, fix the edges with pegs or metal pins at 50cm intervals.

5. Decide the spacing and location of your plants. Cut an L shape into the weed matting to create a planting notch. Fold the corner of the cut notch back. For plants with a larger fibrous root structure create a pit, for smaller root structure a notch, then plant. Then gently push the matting back into place against the stem of the plant.
