Jute Matting is an organic geotextile which aids in weed and erosioin 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 breath, promoting growth of desired plants while reducing evaporation and minimising 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 whilst protecting precious topsoils.
