Here at GuardnGrow, we are all about promoting healthy growth! We love our garden, it is our special place to relax & unwind, but the Aussie climate can be harsh.
We spend so much time mulching our new plants & trees to help them get off to the best start only to have mother nature undo all of our hard work. We knew that there had to be a better option to guard our trees and plants against the ongoing issue of weeds, harsh weather conditions, wind, dust, extreme heat, winter frosts and low rainfall. Our search led us to the GuardnGrow weed/mulch mat, a simple and effective way to get the best from our plants.
We at GuardnGrow commit to sourcing and providing a variety of practical, helpful gardening supplies that will help guard and grow your plants, giving you more time to relax and unwind in your slice of paradise, as such will be continually searching for new products to add to our page.
The Importance of Mulching Around Your New Trees
Mulching around trees is very important, as it helps the young tree to obtain the essential nutrients needed to survive the early stages of development. Mulching helps to suppress the growth of weeds around a tree’s root system, with more young trees failing due to lack of mulch than from wind or any pests.
In the first three years of growth young trees need moisture in the growing medium around the tree. This moisture is needed by the tree as a feeding mechanism to carry minerals to its root system.
If weeds are permitted to grow around the tree they will take the majority of this moisture which will seriously reduce the tree’s growth rate. A form of weed suppressant material will be of great benefit to the tree in its early stages of development allowing the moisture to fully aid the tree. This weed suppressant will further benefit the young tree as it stops the growing medium around the tree from drying out and cracking which rapidly promotes water loss for the soil.
As the tree needs this moisture for its first three growing seasons the area of weed suppressant around the base of the tree should extend by at least 0.5m in any direction from the stem. This will allow the full root system of the young tree to become fully established and support fast growth rates throughout the tree’s life.

Benefits Of Coir
The Coconut fibre weed mat is organic, biodegradable, renewable and looks good.
It is fast making its way onto the garden scene as gardeners look for more ways to care for the environment.
Coconut Fibre (Coir) weed mats are made from 100% natural renewable resources (Coir Fibre and Natural Latex). This is an alternate substitute for mulch. Coconut Fibre weed mats can be used in your city park, commercial property and home garden around trees, shrubs and even in your pots.
The weed mat moderates soil temperature, cutting temperature fluctuations down, like any good mulch material coir helps control weeds, but it lasts longer than mulch from newspaper, straw or grass clippings, it is light weight and easy to work with.
Promoting Healthy Growth
Coconut fibre (coir) is environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable. When it does break down, the weed mat adds organic matter to the soil.
This is made from mulching materials that are bonded together to form a tough, flexible mat that allows air, water, and nutrients to pass through, but effectively blocks weeds and grass.
