Our materials

Water storage for plants

BIO1

Bio1 stands for all our products that are made of 100% cellulose fibers.
In simple terms: made of wood.

This decomposes completely biologically after approx. 1 season to 2 years. Ideal for annual plants (flowers, tomatoes and other vegetable plants). Likewise, if you want to support plants, sod or slope greening only in the growing phase.

Water storage for plants

BIO5

Bio5 stands for all our products, which are made of 30% cellulose fibers as well as 70% PLA (polylactide).

Bio5 completely biodegrades or composts after approximately 5-10 years. Perfect therefore for all types of plants, including perennials. Likewise, if you want to reuse the water storage several times, even for annual plants.

Water storage for plants

PP

PP stands for all our products, which are made of 100% polypropylene.

Thus, PPis ideal for all types of plants, especially perennials. Especially if you want to use the products again and again. Incorporated into the soil, the nonwoven functions permanently as a textile water reservoir.

Of the LITE-SOIL materials, PP is the most durable.

Answers to your questions

What makes LITE-SOIL unique?

LITE-SOILproducts 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. Thus, the textile water storage & underground irrigation systems are perfect for watering any type of plants.

How much water can LITE-SOIL products store?

LITE-SOILproducts 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.

Can water be saved by using LITE-SOIL products?

Yes. Because LITE SOILproducts quickly channel water into the subsoil and distribute it over a large area underground, significantly less water evaporates on the surface.

What degradable products are there?

LITE-SOIL products can be made of either highly durable polypropylene fibres or biodegradable natural fibres, depending on your needs. Bio1stands for 1-2 years,Bio5stands for 5-10 years.

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.
