The mulch features easy tear-out 2 inch diameter planting holes every 6†inches for rapid planting at 6, 12, 18 and/or 24 inches apart. Also, plant labels printed right on the mulch produce an orderly garden without measuring. As a result, the mat offer weed and water control, large and early harvests, and orderly plantings in one package. Installation is simple: bury or weigh down the mat edges to resist wind, connect directly to a garden hose, remove planting holes and plant. The mat is 4 feet wide and 8 feet long and is available with red and black mulch. Red mats promote growth of tomatoes, but can be used with other plants as well. Researchers have shown a 10-20% yield increase in tomato fruit production using red mats.
