Wood Fibre

This mulch product is 100% whole wood fibre and is specifically designed to be applied using hydroseeding equipment or mechanically agitated equipment. Wood fibre mulch is made from wood chips that are ground between large steel plates until the chips are turned into fine intertwined fibres.

Once wood fibre mulch is applied, it provides a three-dimensional matrix on the ground surface – this means it has a vertical dimension, or loft. The fine fibres have a high amount of surface area and hold more moisture than paper. This makes wood fibre mulch superior at establishing vegetation, especially in places where irrigation systems are not in place.

‘Thermally Refined’ wood fibre mulches have excellent water absorption and retention. They work to sustain the seed during dry spells and promote seed growth until the sward has established enough to stabilise the soil.

The process is natural and does not harm the environment. Once hydroseeding has taken place the wood fibre forms a consistent mix that decomposes naturally, giving nutrients back into the soil.
