Organic Guard: a high-performance biodegradable membrane that respects the environment
In a context of climate emergency and biodiversity decline, tree planting is more essential than ever. But to ensure their survival and optimal growth, using a high-performance, eco-friendly membrane is paramount.Since the 1990s, numerous studies have shown that using a one-square-meter polyethylene mulch installed at the base of the tree during planting significantly improves tree development and survival rates. Indeed, mulch promotes faster growth and better CO2 absorption. The larger the mulch area, the greater the benefits.Through the use of mulch, the tree grows faster and becomes more robust, enabling it to produce more oxygen and sequester more carbon, contributing to the fight against climate change. The environmental benefits of mulch are felt in the early years of tree growth (5-10 years), justifying its use.The impermeability of mulch also plays a major role in tree growth. Acting as an insulator, it cuts off air circulation and retains heat and moisture at ground level, creating a microclimate conducive to root development. The design of the mulch allows water to flow freely, ensuring efficient water supply.
However, traditional plastic mulches pose a major environmental problem, contaminating soils and hindering the very goal of reforestation. In a context of tree planting, it is unthinkable for tree planters to return to old sites and, after five years of useful life, dig up the old plastic and transport it to the landfill. It is therefore crucial to find sustainable and effective alternatives to optimize tree growth while preserving our planet.
Organic Guard: An Environmentally Friendly Choice
The biodegradable Organic Guard membrane stands out as the best solution offered on the market because it provides all the benefits of polyethylene mulch.Once it reaches the end of its lifespan, Organic Guard mulch decomposes naturally in the soil, leaving no residual trace, making it a top-notch ecological solution. Compared to alternatives such as coconut fiber biodiscs and hemp fiber growing mats, Organic Guard stands out favorably with its longevity, which can reach up to five years.
