The Bio-Earth Shrub Shelter provides environmentally responsible protection for shrubs, hedging plants, and multi-stemmed species during their crucial early growth stages. Made from a biodegradable, soil-certified biopolymer, this shelter supports sustainable planting initiatives while offering reliable defence against pests, herbicide drift, and mechanical damage caused by machinery or wildlife.
Unlike traditional plastic shelters, the Bio-Earth Shrub Shelter naturally decomposes in the soil over time, significantly reducing plastic waste and removing the need for costly post-project collection. Its strong and rigid construction keeps the shelter securely in place even in exposed or windy sites, while allowing light to penetrate and encourage photosynthesis for healthier, more vigorous growth.
Ideal for agri-environment schemes, rewilding projects, hedge establishment, and land restoration, this shrub shelter helps landowners, contractors, and councils meet sustainability objectives without compromising plant protection or performance.
