Straw & Cotton Plant Material Hydromulch.

Product Specs

GeoSkin® hydromulch is composed primarily of straw and cotton plant material. Organic balance is achieved naturally, then, biodegrading to a soil-enriching and seed nurturing compost.

Following is a compost analysis of GeoSkin® vs. Wood/Paper Hdyromulch:

* The microenvironment of the soil helps determine plant health and vigor. Organic matter and its proper decay are also essential for optimum plant performance. A beneficial carbon:nitrogen ratio which ranges from 15:1 to 30:1, is required for proper organic matter decomposition. Higher carbon:nitrogen ratios cause plant performance to suffer. GeoSkin hydromulch approachs that beneficial carbon-to-nitrogen ratio, resulting in efficient seed establishment, plant health and sound, nutritive soil.
