MAXIMIZES WATER RETENTION, MINIMIZES WEED GROWTH, ACCELERATES PLANT GROWTH
EcoCover provides a biodegradable soil skin to improve soil conditioning and moisture retention, improve soil fertility, plant growth and security and supresses weeds naturally.
EcoCover blocks the sunlight to render the weed seeds in the soil dormant thereby suppressing the ability for the seeds to germinate. The plant grows faster forming its own light blocking canopy naturally keeping the weeds suppressed.
Designed especially for EcoCover Weed Mats, the EcoPin is a world first. Unique features include 100% biodegradability yet with very high impact strength, and especially designed barbs on the shaft to assist with the EcoPin positioning and holding power in the soil.
