SmartGrow products are a new, 100% organic woven hair fiber product in mat form used in areas where a natural weed inhibitor is required. The SmartGrow mats will reduce the growth of all weeds up to 90% and in some applications can stop weed growth altogether without the use of herbicides. The mats will also accelerate plant growth and increase the quality of their finished product as it is a natural fertilizer and retains moisture.
SmartGrow mats are tough, durable and block sunlight reducing weeds, yet are porous for oxygen and
water supply to roots. SmartGrow mats can used to stop weeds in large scale professional industries, community based environment projects, urban projects, revegatation/erosion projects, landscaping and
home uses such as in pots, hanging baskets, vegetable gardens, fruit trees and most other growing areas.
