1 x WULCH MAT FREE – included WITH EVERY TREE ORDERED

Every tree you purchase includes one free wulch mat – no  need to add to your order. However, we recommend them for protecting other special trees and shrubs in your garden – especially with the kind of weather extremes we’ve been experiencing in recent years – so maybe add a couple of extras to your basket.

Each ‘Wulch’ kit comprises 1 British Wool mulch mat and 5 bamboo pegs to secure the mat in place around the base of your tree. One peg for each corner and a spare for fitting around tree stakes etc.

What is it?

• 100% fully biodegradable durable mat made from British wool. 50cm x 50cm square nom.  Contains zero plastic.
• The mat is split to the centre to allow close fitting around the tree trunk.
• Totally natural, renewable fibre, manufactured from pure British Wool .
• The mat has been compressed and then needled full of holes to allow rain water to penetrate.

What does the mulch mat do for your tree?

• The Eco-mulch mat helps your newly planted tree establish quickly, by reducing stress.
• The Eco-mulch mat suppresses the germination and development of weeds, thus reducing competition for food and water.
• It acts as a root duvet in winter, helping towards protecting both the roots and their mycorrhizal fungi
• It will also help keep young establishing root-systems cooler in summer
• The Eco-mulch mat will also conserve moisture by reducing evaporation from the soil.
• The mat can also be effectively used in conjunction with a thick layer of bark or wood chip over the top, adding a further layer of protection.
• No need to remove. The mat will biodegrade and compost down over a period of time, but it will survive sufficiently long enough to allow your tree to establish well.
• When watering your tree, thoroughly saturate the matting, but also direct the water down through the slit and on to the soil beneath
