Description
Discover BioWool® - an innovative and eco-friendly solution for controlling weeds.
BioWool® Mulch Mats form a barrier around young trees, reducing and suppressing weeds and removing the reliance on herbicides or frequent hand weeding. They also encourage stronger establishment and promote healthier growth in newly planted trees.
What is BioWool®
- Natural weed suppressant
- Made in the UK, from ethically sourced wool. Manufactured at one of the last remaining needle punch textile mills, ensuring exceptional quality and supports British industry
- High lanolin content and weather resistant
- Helps to prevent waste wool in the UK by turning it into a mulch material with an ultra low carbon footprint
Benefits of BioWool®
- BioWool® is 100% biodegradable in soil at ambient temperatures and water. It breaks down to natural materials such as water, Co2, methane, biomass and humus, providing a natural fertiliser as it decomposes, and leaving no nasty residues
- It's a natural, chemical-free weed suppressant, so eliminates the need for herbicides
- Studies have shown that BioWool® naturally deters deer browsing due to its high lanolin content
- Quick and easy to install. BioWool® Weed Suppressant Mulch Mats are strong enough to be pulled tight, ensuring a snug, effective fit around your plants with ease
- Designed to last, BioWool® is strong and durable, providing robust weed suppression for approximately 2 years
- Improves soil over time
- Prevents water loss
- Utilises UK fibres
Sizes
BioWool® Weed Suppressant Mulch Mats come in three sizes:
- 50cm x 50cm
- 1m x 1m
- 1m x 25m Roll
Installation Tips
- Trim back vegetation so the mat sits as close to the ground as possible
- Secure the first peg, then gently pull on the mat before fixing the second, third, and fourth pegs
- Make sure there is a good overlap on the slit to provide full coverage
- When driving in the bamboo pegs, leave about 25mm (1 inch) above ground rather than pushing them in flush
- For best results, add a fifth peg to lock the overlap in place
We recommend use with Bamboo Pegs for effective installation. Overlap the mat to restrict weed growth.
