Wool Grass Establishment Matting

 

Terra Lana Grasstrike is a fully biodegradable non-woven wool matting used in the establishment of turf grasses on landscaped soil. Grasstrike works by providing a protective layer over grass seedlings, allowing sufficient sunlight to penetrate to the grass bed but helping prevent soil erosion and moisture loss. Grasstrike can be left to fully biodegrade, providing additional fertiliser if desired.

Terra Lana Grasstrike is made from 100% wool, both new wool and recycled wool waste.

Applications

• Golf courses
• Sports grounds
• Play grounds
• Industrial and domestic lawns
• Loose earth embankments
• Motorway sidings
• Slips
• Other hard to establish areas

Benefits of Grasstrike

Fully Biodegradable           Grasstrike can be left to fully biodegrade, or remaining fragments can be safely 
                                            mown away when the grass is 8-10cm high. Once decomposed it leaves no 
                                            unhealthy residues.

Protects Grass Seedlings   Seed and topsoil are protected against erosion by wind and rain.  Damage and 
                                            loss of seed by birds is reduced assisting even germination.
    
Retains Water                     During precipitation Grasstrike acts as a sponge, holding the water amongst 
                                            it’s fibres then releasing it as the ground dries. It allows water movement 
                                            through to the soil whilst reducing 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 
                                            promotes rapid growth even in cold weather. The planting season can 
                                            effectively be extended, an advantage for any landscaping contractor.

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

Easy to Apply                     Simply roll out Grasstrike over the seedbed and fix firmly in place using 
                                           biodegradable pegs to ensure good contact with the soil. This minimises lifting
                                           of the fabric by the germinating grass.

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