Biomac® Woolmulch™ is a 100% biodegradable wool matting used in the establishment of trees, shrubs and groundcovers in landscape plantings. It provides erosion protection to the soil during the establishment of the plant root structure.
As Biomac Woolmulch is made from 100% wool, it insulates and helps prevent moisture loss from the soil. Biomac Woolmulch is a thick mat which can also help suppress weed growth and release valuable plant nutrients as the mat degrades.

FUNCTION
Erosion & Sediment Control
The use of a geosynthetic to prevent soil or other particle movements on the surface slope. Acts to reduce soil erosion caused by wind forces, rainfall impact and surface water runoff. The use of geosynthetics in erosion control is to maintain soil cover either as a temporary measure offering protection from soil loss whilst vegetation is established or as a permanent control measure, typically on steeper slopes or high-water velocity situations.
