Vitax  Mulch Mats are a wonderful support for strawberry plants, lettuces and newly planted shrubs and roses.

Helping to suppress weed growth, These Biodegradable Mulch Mats retain soil moisture and protect plant roots from extreme temperatures.

Keep plants clean and protect against mould

Act as a slug barrier

Completely biodegradable

Multi-purpose, Mulch Mats can be used for a wide range of plants and crops to protect fruits and low, ground-level leaves.

For strawberries, the mats keep the lower leaves and fruit clean and dry keeping the soft fruit free from botrytis – a grey mould. Mulch Mats are best to be used with strawberries when the leaves are growing well and flowers are beginning to appear.

Mulch Mats can also protect lettuces from slug invasion when leaves start to grow and shrubs and roses after planting.

Easy-to-use, after planting and watering plants carefully level the soil around the base.  Holding the leaves carefully from the ground, the mat can be easily slid into place under the leaves

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.
