For the past
decade Jutemaster ®
has been widely used for preventing soil erosion and establishing
vegetation by the Civil Engineering, Environmental Restoration and
Landscaping Industries.
Now available
in a roll size that will easily fit into a car boot, Jutemaster
® Home Packs are quick and easy to install,
and ideal for home gardens as an alternative to traditional mulches,
particularly on steep sites where heavy rainfall and gravity conspire
to wash your expensive mulch down the drain!
Jutemaster
® may also be used underneath decorative mulches
to separate them from contact with the soil. This retards the breakdown
of the mulch, thus extending it's life. It prevents volatile compounds
from pine barks from inhibiting plant growth and reduces 'nitrogen
lockup' where soil nitrogen is diverted to breaking down mulch,
making it unavailable to your valuable plants.
Jute
matting has long been a favourite of canny organic gardeners, who
for many years have used recycled (felt) carpet underlay to retain
moisture in seedbeds and compost heaps. It is an excellent mulch material
for vegetable gardens because unlike traditional mulches such as hay
or straw, it contains no weed seeds and does not harbour pests such
as snails and slugs.
