Planting Felt 100g/m² TERRAPLANT

The TERRAPLANT impervious planting felt has been designed to effectively isolate the garden soil from a substrate with very different characteristics, such as heathland soil. It is easily installed, lining the bottom and sides of the planting hole, creating a favorable environment for acidophilous plants and bushes, including camellias, azaleas, or other rhododendrons...It is perfectly suited for creating an individual planting pit, for one or more specimens.

This geotextile felt, in grey color, is made of non-woven polyester (thermally bonded polyester fibres) with a density of 100g/m². It is permeable to water, but impervious and very resistant: it can remain in the soil for many years without damage. Its texture is dense enough to prevent punctures and it prevents the garden soil (which can be limestone) from mixing with the heathland soil or the very acidic peat it contains. Isolated from the rest of the soil, the plant's root ball benefits from a favorable environment for its development as well as the ambient humidity of the flowerbed. The felt also isolates it from the roots of neighboring plants, which can sometimes be invasive. However, keep in mind that if you continuously water your heathland shrubs with limestone water, the acidity will gradually be lost. Finally, avoid using pure heathland soil in the garden: it dries out quickly in summer and provides very few nutrients to plants.
