LITE-SOIL is a great company with an exceptional team of people and based on our work together so far, I have nothing but praise for them and their products.”

FAQs
What makes LITE-SOIL unique?
LITE-SOIL products are strips (LITE-STRIPS) and nets (LITE-NET) cut from thick water storage nowovens or drainage mats. They consist of environmentally friendly, high-strength and rot-proof geotextiles/nonwovens made of sustainable polypropylene or biodegradable source materials such as wood fibre fleece or PLA. The fine-fibered water storage nonwoven consists of up to approx. 90% open, interconnected air voids. Thus, on the one hand, they can drain air and water very well, and additionally serve as a water nonwoven. In consequence, the textile water storage & underground irrigation systems are perfect for watering any type of plants.
How much water can LITE-SOIL products store?
LITE-SOIL products consist of up to 90% open pores and only about 10-15% of solid material. Depending on the thickness of the nonwoven, up to 10 l/m² of water is stored in the pores. When pulling apart a LITE-NET– e.g. to 3 times the area – the storage volume is then distributed accordingly. 1 kilo LITE-STRIPS Bio1 store up to 10 litres of water!
Which product is suitable for permanent use?
The polypropylene version has a permanent effect in the soil. If at some point it is desired to separate LITE-STRIPS from soil, this can easily be done by using a coarse sieve. The LITE-NET can simply be pulled out of the ground again.
In what form are LITE-SOIL products?
LITE-STRIPS are delivered either in small or big bags. LITE-NET is available as a ready-made product or in roll form. You can easily cut the nonwoven net from the roll at any time using scissors or a knife. The closed delivered LITE-NET (e.g. 1.2 m wide, 20 m long on a roll) can be pulled apart to several times its width. The maximum width (e.g. 7.0 m) is specified in the data sheet. Also the maximum area (e.g. 80.6 m²) that can be covered with the net. The maximum area is not reached at the maximum width, but at a slightly smaller width (e.g. 5.2 m).
