The humble weedmat to the rescue!
For Kiwis with a deep-seated hate for weeding, a weedmat is the obvious answer. Not all weedmats are created equal though. We help you decide on the best option for your garden situation.
SmartMat Premium has a unique fibre layer which absorbs and retains moisture allowing healthy plant growth. The structure of the weedmat stops weed growth, while retaining water for slow release into the soil over time. This means the water gets directly where it’s needed.
We recommend to cover your SmartMat with mulch or bark to ensure it lasts many years.
Premium is a woven weedmat with a nonwoven fibre backing, which retains moisture and reduces evaporation. Enviro is a nonwoven weedmat that has been hydroponically treated and enables water to pass through more quickly to plant roots.
SmartMat premium can be installed either way – install fibre layer down for dry soils as the fibre layers acts as a moisture trap, retaining moisture for the plants.
Install fibre layer up for bark or mulch gardens on a slope to help keep the bark in place.
All weedmats deteriorate in sunlight. While SmartMat is UV treated for longevity, we recommend covering as soon as you lay it with mulch, bark or stones.
