Coir mulch mats provide an eco-friendly solution for weed suppression and moisture retention in garden beds and landscapes. Composed of coconut fiber, or coir, these biodegradable mats slowly decompose while inhibiting weed growth. The dense structure of a coir mat prevents sunlight from reaching weed seeds, suppressing germination. Meanwhile, the mat’s fibrous composition absorbs and holds moisture like a sponge, reducing water evaporation from the soil. Coir’s high lignin content resists decomposition, allowing the mats to remain intact for months. Overall, coir mulch mats offer gardeners and landscapers a sustainable alternative to plastic weed barriers, improving moisture conservation and reducing weeds without synthetic chemicals or materials. Their simple application directly on top of soil makes coir mats a versatile option for a range of horticultural uses.
