RootCarpet™ is thick sections of pre-vegetated coir fiber enclosed in a woven coir blanket. Available in 3 feet wide by 15 feet long sections, RootCarpet™ allows quick establishment across relatively large areas and is especially good for wetlands and areas with moving water.
The woven coir helps keep roots together and soil in place until establishment. The developed roots actively seek the soil. As with bio-bricks, RootCarpet™ is effective in controlling weeds.
RootCarpet™ can be custom grown with plant species according to specification. To establish additional shrub and herbaceous vegetation, live stakes and fascines can be driven through it.
