Helping to suppress weed growth, Mulch Mats retain soil moisture and protect plant roots from extreme temperatures. Mulch Mats: Keep plants clean and protect against mould Act as a slug barrier Completely biodegradable Multi-purpose, Mulch Mats can be used for a wide range of plants and crops to protect fruits and low, ground-level leaves. For strawberries, the mats keep the lower leaves and fruit clean and dry keeping the soft fruit free from botrytis – a grey mould. Mulch Mats are best to be used with strawberries when the leaves are growing well and flowers are beginning to appear. Mulch Mats can also protect lettuces from slug invasion when leaves start to grow and shrubs and roses after planting. Easy-to-use, after planting and watering plants carefully level the soil around the base. Holding the leaves carefully from the ground, the mat can be easily slid into place under the leaves.
