Important Installation Information
Before installing mulch matting or weed matting thorough eradication of weeds from the area to be covered is strongly recommended. We advise spraying the site with organic spray, allowing a day or two before installing the matting. After installation, its recommended to install plants with 1-2 weeks as leaving it exposed increases the risk of weed penetration. Plants will additionally provide shade to prevent new weed growth, and eventually establish to allow full canopy closure.
When installing the matting, we recommend rolling this out and if using more than one roll, ensure it overlaps by 10cm.
Pinning the matting - At the edges, pin every 0.5m metres and in the middle pin every 1m.
Planting it out - When planting out, using shears or a sharp pair of commercial scissors, cut an inverted T shape and open flaps to insert plant.
FuturFiber® Dag Wool Benefits
- FuturFiber® Dag Wool reduces planting stress - FuturFiber Dag Wool stays damp for hours and allows effective penetration of water and fertilizer and circulation of air. These insulation properties reducing evaporation by absorbing moisture and in doing so releases heat. This keeps soil temperature up in cold conditions and protects against frosts.
- FuturFiber® Dag Wool feeds your plants - FuturFiber Dag Wool contains the following nutrients: nitrogen, sulphur, sodium, potassium and magnesium. These nutrients are naturally released into the soil over time.
- FuturFiber® Dag Wool helps eliminate herbicide requirements - FuturFiber Dag Wool is designed to block out a majority of sunlight thereby helping to suppress unwanted competing vegetation regrowth around the plant. No need for ongoing hazardous use of chemical herbicide sprays. Please note windblown seed can sometimes settle in the surface of the matting. Sprouting seeds may need to be removed as they occur.
- FuturFiber® Dag Wool is easy on the eye - Visual pollution is today a greater consideration on revegetation projects than ever before. FuturFiber Dag Wool merges unobtrusively with the natural landscape.
- FuturFiber® Dag Wool lasts the distance - FuturFiber Dag Wool is designed to gradually biodegrade over a short-term period after installation (may reduce in wet conditions), giving plants ample time to get established free from competing weeds.
- FuturFiber® Dag Wool is environmentally friendly - FuturFiber Dag Wool is manufactured from 100% dag wool fibres and is natural, fully biodegradable and BioGro Certified.
