Workout Equipment / Exercise Mat-2
For trees and shrubs with root balls measuring about 12 inches in diameter (11-15 inches, for example, 3-10 gallon containers), SteadySpring Tree Mats use 99% less water than traditional tree bags over multiple seasons. This ensures better establishment of newly planted trees and shrubs.
For root balls larger than 15 inches, we recommend using 36", 48", or multiple units of these larger-sized SteadySpring Tree Mats. Cover an area double the root ball size or at least 20 inches larger than the root ball for optimal performance.
Keep SteadySpring Tree Mats in place for at least one year, plus one additional year for every inch of caliper (e.g., 2 years for 1-inch caliper trees, 3 years for 2-inch caliper trees) to ensure successful establishment in your new environment. The rated life of SteadySpring Tree Mats is 3-5 years.
SteadySpring Tree Mats are designed for year-round use, even in cold climates. They will refill naturally with snow and rain, protecting your plants against freezing temperatures and deicing salts.
Cover SteadySpring Tree Mats with wood chips or coarse-structured mulch to: - Prevent direct sunlight exposure - Return nutrients to tree roots - Reduce evaporation - Provide insulation to the root system - Prevent the mat from getting stolen
Avoid using dirt, soil, fine sand, or fine-structured mulch, as they may block rainwater from reaching the mat.
SteadySpring Tree Mats are ready to use upon purchase. Soak them for 1-3 hours before placing them around your trees and shrubs.
When used correctly, SteadySpring Tree Mats can function for up to 30+ days without watering and maintain effectiveness for years with as little as 1 inch of rainwater per month. You could go months or years without refilling!
SteadySpring Tree Mats act as a soil moisture stabilizer, preventing overwatering (root rot) or underwatering (tree suffering). The soil will remain at a healthy, moist level, ideal for tree growth. A moisture rating between 4 and 7 (out of 10) is optimal for most tree species.
SteadySpring Tree Mats have a built-in weed barrier that eliminates plants and weeds growing around the root system. This reduces competition for water and nutrients, allowing for more efficient water use.
Avoid using water from swimming pools, as they may contain high levels of dissolved solids that can affect the mat's performance.
