Mulchmat : Wool Mulch Mat

       

 

Wool Mulchmat is a fully biodegradable non-woven wool matting used in the establishment of trees, shrubs and groundcovers in landscape plantings. In the early stage of plant growth Wool Mulchmat prevents soil erosion, suppresses weeds, preserves soil moisture and insulates plants from temperature extremes thus ensuring swift and sure establishment. Over time Wool Mulchmat fully biodegrades, releasing plant nutrients which provide an additional boost for growing plants.

Terra Lana Mulch Mat is an agri textile made from pure wool and recycled wool waste. There is also a reinforced version which is strengthened with jute, a natural vegetable fibre (also known as hessian). This is ideal for stabilising banks and consolidating soil on slopes. Both versions are supplied in either rolls or mats pre-cut to the centre from one side to allow easy fitting around the base of trees and shrubs.

Applications

           

Landscaping         Bank planting around base of trees, shrubs and groundcovers, road edge, industrial and 
                             domestic sites.

Horticulture          Orchard tree/vine establishment and weed control mulch.
                              Strawberry mulch.

Re-vegetation       Re- establishment of N.Z. native plants.


Benefits of Wool Mulch Mat

Fully Biodegradable    No unsightly partly degraded material to remove as with other synthetic weed mats. 
                                     Will not leave unhealthy residues. The rate of degradation is dependent on soil moisture
                                     conditions. For example if the soil/mulch mat is continually wet it will degrade faster
                                     rapidly. Mulchmat typically takes 18 months to 2 years to totally degrade.

Suppresses Weeds      Suppresses weed growth for first 8 - 12 months, resulting in lower gardening costs
    
Retains Water             Allows water movement through to the soil and reduces evaporation from the soil, thus gaining 
                                     maximum benefit from irrigation and rain.

Insulates                      The natural insulation properties of wool protect the soil against extremes in 
                                     temperature i.e. frosts.  In cold weather, wool absorbs moisture and in doing so 
                                     releases heat. This helps keep the soil at a more even temperature and assists in 
                                     extending the growing season.

Provides Nutrients       Nutrients released include nitrogen, potassium, sulphur and other trace elements.

Easy to Apply                Simply roll out Mulchmat and fix firmly in place using pegs to ensure the matting 
                                      cannot be blown away. Alternatively it can be overlaid with bark chips.

Aesthetic Appeal           Muted natural colouring blends well with plants and surroundings.

Sustainable Materials   Wool is a natural renewable resource produced in abundance in New Zealand.


We have just finished the landscaping on the bund for the Whitianga
Sports Complex and are really happy with the Terra Lana Mulchmat.
It made walking up and down the slope possible, it minimised erosion
and allowed us to carry on working no matter the weather conditions.
