VisPore Tree Mats
This item may be pre-stocked at the LCD office and may be available for purchase and pick up at any time during the year. Contact the LCD office for current availability.
Sold in a pack of 5 or 25 mats.
One tree mat measures 3' by 3' and provides 9 square feet of weed-free soil and all of the water and minerals that weeds usually take. VisPore mats block 92% of sunlight while letting water pass through with micro-funnels. During periods of little rain, Vispore mats trap moisture and protects roots from evaporation.
UV stabilized with carbon black for three years of weed control and a better option than mowing, hand-pulling, or herbicides. These mats are effective with both hardwood and evergreen seedlings.
2.5 mils thick. Use ground staples (not included) to anchor tree mats. Place with the dull, rough side down and shiny side up so micro-funnels are pointing toward the soil. Info sheet with instructions included.
