Description
Water storage for plants – The LITE-NET Bio5 water net roll is used to store and distribute water and air over large areas and is 100% biodegradable/compostable (approx. 5 – 10 years). The LITE-NET roll consists of up to 90 % open air pores, in which up to 44 l of water is stored and conducted like in a network of veins to where the plants need it most: to the roots. The approx. 6 mm thick LITE-NET is simply pulled apart to 4-5 times its width and covered with soil down to the roots.
100 % BIODEGRADABLE/COMPOSTABLE! After approx. 5 – 10 years, the LITE-NET is completely biodegraded or composted. 70 % polylactide (PLA) + 30 % cellulose fibres, made in Austria.

Instalation
TREES, SHRUBS & BUSHES: Wrap a suitably cut piece of LITE-NET around the root ball to direct water & air from the surface directly to the roots. As an additional water reservoir, place another LITE-NET horizontally in the tree pit. This ensures that the deep root space is optimally supplied.
SLOPES/VEGETATION: For slopes, the LITE-NET is laid on the surface as a growing aid.
RAISED PLANTING BEDS, LAWNS & ATHLETIC FIELDS: Place the LITE-NET pulled apart and enter root deep (for lawns approx. 10m in root depth. Soil over it (ideally mixed with LITE-STRIPS), done.
