Jute Matting is an organic geotextile which aids in weed and erosion control. An environmentally friendly way of protecting young trees and shrubs by reducing competing weeds and the need to use damaging herbicide.

Because the Jute Matting allows both air and water to pass unimpeded through its construction, the soil beneath it can breathe, promoting the growth of desired plants while reducing evaporation and minimizing watering needs.

Jute Matting is the simplest, safest, and most cost-effective method of promoting new growth on the worst affected slopes because it enhances water filtration while protecting precious topsoils.

Applications:
- Slopes
- Garden beds
- Landscaping or roadsides
- Revegetating gardens
- Coastal areas with high winds
- Wetlands and riparian slopes

Weed Control: The thick natural material stops sunlight from promoting weed growth.

Installation Instructions
1. First, make sure that the site is free of debris and weeds. Since you are planting into the matting, it’s advisable to add around a 50-millimetre layer of topsoil.
2. Layer the jute rolls from the top down to the bottom. If you’re on a hill, dig a trench.
3. Pin the jute into the trench.
4. Pin the matting using a rubber mallet and two to three pins per square metre.
5. For larger-scale installations, you can use the tackler gun.
6. Make sure you overlap the adjoining rolls by a hundred millimetres and pin the matting into place.
7. After you’ve pinned the matting into place, spray heavily with water and the jute matting will conform to the land, making planting easier.
