Vitax Mulch Mats are an entirely biodegradable support for strawberry plants, lettuces and newly planted shrubs and roses.
These mats help to suppress weed growth, retain soil moisture and protect plant roots from extreme temperatures.
For strawberries, the mats keep the lower leaves and fruit clean and dry, ensuring the soft fruit stays free from botrytis – a grey mould. Mulch Mats are best used with strawberries when the leaves are growing well and flowers are beginning to appear.
These biodegradable mats can also protect lettuces from slug invasion when leaves start to grow and shrubs and roses after planting.
How to Use
- After firming-in and watering the plant, carefully level the soil around the plant base
- Hold the leaves clear of the soil, ease open the mat along the slit and carefully slide the mat under the leaves, smoothing it onto the soil
