Structure of the Mulchmats
The natural upper layer in the GREENFIX Mulchmats blends with landscaping, protects the bottom membrane from ultra-violet light, controls water shed from gradients and regulates soil temperature. The Bottom membrane prevents loss of moisture, controls erosion and provides non-chemical control of weeds. The bottom membrane is a twin sheet with offset slitting to allow water penetration.
GREENFIX Mulchmats provide weed control and mulching typically for at least 3 years (depends on the mulch-foil). The standard PE foil (used on GREENFIX TYPE 9) decompose due to sun exposure (UV). The biodegradation of the corn starch based biofilms (used on GREENFIX TYPE 10) takes place through heat and moisture.
Structure of the Mulchmats
1. New plants
2. Photodegradable or Biodegradable mulch-foil with perforation provides full weed control
3. Soil moisture retained
4. 7 mm natural-fibre matrix permits solar heating of soil and subsequent heating-retention for maximum growth rates.
5. Plant insertion by flap method.
6. Plant insertion by edge method
7. Protected soil
