Rainbow biodegradable weed mats (bio-weed mats) are made of 100% plant material. The fabric contained in the bio-weed mats will biodegrade to compost at the end of their lifetime to provide a nutrient-rich element for the soil and reduce any possible ongoing maintenance costs to the absolute minimum. The use of this type of mat means that synthetic materials and herbicides can be avoided.

The mats are supplied in a subtle brown colour that blends harmoniously with the landscape and can be secured in place with a Rainbow biodegradable weed mat peg. After a period of 3 to 5 years the plants will have grown over the fabric and will take over the light blocking function of the bio-weed mat.

The mats are UV stable and do not require any mulch, bark or wood chips to cover the fabric.
