Designed for arboriculture, reforestation, and long-term perennial plantings where durable weed control is required — without polyethylene, plastic removal, or long-term soil contamination.

Compostable tree mulch and biodegradable protection for long-term establishment
OrganicGUARD is designed to perform in the same field conditions where polyethylene is traditionally used — arboriculture, reforestation, and long-term perennial plantings.
It delivers reliable weed control and establishment support during the critical early years, then fully biodegrades in soil once its job is done.
No plastic to remove.
No long-term residue left behind.
Why natural mulches alone are not enough in professional arboriculture
Solutions like coco disks, wood chips, or BRF mulch are often perceived as “natural alternatives” to plastic.
In practice, they are short-term surface treatments, not durable protection systems.
Most natural mulches degrade or disperse within one to two seasons.
They lose weed suppression, shift with wind and rain, and require repeated reapplication — especially in exposed or large-scale projects.
That lack of durability is precisely why polyethylene became the standard:
it delivers consistent, multi-year performance with minimal intervention.
OrganicGUARD was developed to meet that same durability requirement —
without leaving permanent plastic in the soil.
For this reason, best practice in professional and urban environments is to use OrganicGUARD as a base layer, covered with ramial wood chips (BRF) or mineral mulch — combining long-term weed control below the surface with a clean, natural finish above ground.
This durability gap explains why professional projects have historically relied on polyethylene.

Why professionals still use polyethylene — and what changes with OrganicGUARD
Polyethylene is widely used because it delivers reliable results in the field.
The issue is not performance — it is end of life.
Polyethylene does not biodegrade.
It fragments over time into microplastics that remain permanently in the soil.
OrganicGUARD delivers the same field reliability — without creating a plastic legacy.
