Terra Tech
Tough but flexible, Rigid Seedling Protection Tubes are constructed of a combination of polyethylene and polypropylene. Added ultraviolet inhibitors control the rate at which the tubes break down in the field. This material is extruded in a diamond mesh pattern that allows branches to escape but keeps the leader protected from browse. Rigid Seedling Protection Tubes are widely regarded as the best choice for many animal damage problems. Their effectiveness has been proven over many years of use.

A cost-effective alternative to herbicides, the Arbortec "Brush Blanket" eliminates weeds while
encouraging seedling growth. The blanket promotes earlier crop maturity and improved stem caliper
and needle/leaf count by inhibiting weeds, reducing frost heave incidence, increasing moisture
retention and raising soil temperature around seedlings. Dry soils benefit from the Arbortec "Brush
Blanket" by retaining water in the soil while perforations throughout the mat allow damp soils to
breathe. To use, simply clear planting area of debris and vegetation, place the center cross-cut over
the planted seedling and staple the mat to the bare ground. The lightweight green polyethylene mat
will photodegrade in three to five years. Don't forget to purchase landscape staples to anchor your
mats to the ground.
