Round Weed Mat 1.2 M with Chain – Plant Basin Ground Cover (100 GSM)
Designed specifically for orchard basins, plant basins, saplings and large pots, this round weed mat has a clever open-close chain edge that wraps around the plant stem and zips shut — no cutting slits, no exposed soil, no fuss. Two minutes per plant and that basin stays weed-free for years.

The chain edge is the game changer
Normal square mats force you to cut a hole for the trunk — a hole that frays, leaves exposed soil and lets weeds through right where you don't want them. The open-close chain solves this: open it, wrap around the stem, close it. The fabric meets snugly with zero gap, and it adjusts as the trunk grows.
Benefits
- No basin weeding — the #1 labour saving in orchard care
- Water stays in the basin — slower evaporation means longer irrigation intervals
- Clean fruit drop — fallen fruit rests on fabric, not mud
- Trunk protection — no grass competition around the collar zone
- Reusable for years — move it when replanting
How to Install
Clear the basin, slide the mat around the trunk with the chain open, close the chain snugly, and flatten the mat over the basin. Pin or weigh down the outer edge in windy sites. Water normally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it fit a thick, old mango trunk?
Yes — the chain opens fully; it fits stems and trunks of any size.
Can I use it for vegetable plant basins?
Yes — anything with a central stem works: tomato, chilli, papaya, banana.
Does it need pins?
Wind-exposed sites: pin the outer rim. Sheltered gardens: the fabric's own weight is usually enough.
