Jute netting

  • This is a net made of jute that is laid and anchored over straw or other mulch to protect the mulch from wind and water damage.
  • It reduces soil erosion and provides a good environment for vegetative regrowth. Jute is a biodegradable material that will eventually decompose and is not a threat to the environment.
  • This practice is often used on areas that may erode near structures such as homes, roads, and bridges.
  • Jute can be applied alone( without mulch) as an alternative to straw or wood mulches on flat sites for dust control and seed germination enhancement.
