The most popular usage of the Lumite^® Fabric Mulch is in conservation tree plantings.

The Lumite brand is recognized for innovation in the agricultural industry. Water-permeable fabric mulch controls weeds and conserves soil moisture.  Lumite is a strong, durable, time-tested, polypropylene geotextile woven fabric that carries a five-year guarantee against ultraviolet deterioration.

 

Lumite has been used in arid regions of the United States and overseas to enhance survival and growth on tree and shrub plantings. Survival rate is usually above 95% as compared to 50% or less without Lumite. Growth rates double compared to nearby plantings without fabric.

Lumite eliminates the need for cultivation, weed badger work, chemicals or other tree planting maintenance aids on most plantings.

In a Wyoming experiment, soil moisture was measured for two years under fabric and in nearby unprotected cultivation plots. Results indicate that soil moisture under fabric did not fall below 80% of field capacity while soil moisture dropped to nearly 3% under unprotected cultivation plots.

Tree and shrub plantings and fabric installation can both be done by machine thus the entire operation is fast and efficient.
