Ecomatt Bio Weed Control Mulch Mats offer a natural, biodegradable solution for preventing weed growth around newly planted trees and shrubs. Made from 100% biodegradable jute fibres on a hessian backing, these mats effectively suppress competing weeds while allowing essential air and water to penetrate the soil. By retaining moisture and insulating roots, Ecomatt mats create optimal growing conditions that help plants establish strong, healthy root systems—without the use of chemical herbicides.
Ideal for forestry, tree planting, land restoration, and rewilding projects, these mulch mats provide an environmentally responsible alternative to traditional weed control methods. They break down naturally after 2 to 3 growing seasons, eliminating the need for removal and reducing long-term environmental impact.
