Jute fleece mulch mat Greenline

Environmentally friendly against weeds in flowerbeds

Flowerbeds can be a feast for the eyes if only what we want what grows in them! The jute mulch mat inhibits the growth of unwanted weeds in flowerbeds and vegetable beds - very simply by depriving them of light. Wherever it is used, chemical weed killers can be dispensed with, and time-consuming weeding becomes a thing of the past. 

Natural talent jute

Jute has the ability to store water and keeps the soil moist and warm. The plants benefit from this, especially in the summer months, in order to grow and ripen well. At the same time, the mat acts as a sun protection - the soil does not dry out as much and remains loose. Jute rots completely after a few years and can therefore be left on the ground or disposed of in the composter or organic waste bin. Alternatively, the mulch mat could be removed from the flowerbed at the end of the season, cleaned, dried and stored - for reuse in the next year. 

Tips & tricks for use

The best time: in spring, when preparing the cuttings. The jute mat is cut with the shape of a cross where the plants are and then placed directly on the soil of the flowerbed. The pre-sprouted plants protrude out of the fleece, while unwanted plants are deprived of light and their growth is thus inhibited. When the jute mat is positioned, the edges should ideally be secured all around with pegs, pins, stones or soil so that it does not slip or fly away in the wind and because of the weather. Thanks to its water and air-permeable properties, the jute fleece can of course remain on the flowerbed when it is watered!
