What is LITE-SOIL? OVERVIEW APPLICATIONS Our many years of know-how in geotextiles performs as the basis for our patented LITE-SOIL products: Optimal results, scientifically confirmed Scientific research by the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna, has shown: As nonwoven STRIPS (LITE-STRIPS) mixed down into the soil store water directly in the root area. 10 l of LITE-STRIPS can store up to 9 l of water. As a nonwoven net (LITE-NET) it effectively transports water and air to the roots. In comparison to the conventional above-ground irrigation systems the...

LITE-SOIL is an innovative, sustainable water and cost saving solution for the air and water supply of your plants. Water storage for the root area Up to 70% of water saving Optimal water storage High water conductivity High aeration effect Better greening effect Cost-effective Easy installation at any depth Three-dimensional laying High flexibility Low weight Erosion protection Reduced soil compaction Less felting Biologically degraded after approx. 1-2 years, made of 100% cellulose fibers. Ideal for annual plants (e.g., flowers, tomatoes and other vegetable plants) or as a support in the...

LITE-STRIPS Water storage strips LITE-STRIPS are water retaining nonwovens in strip form for mixing into the soil close to the roots. They serve as substrate improvement for loosening compacted soil, for aerification or to support initial growth. Due to the elongated shape of the nonwoven strips, the substrate is more permeable and stable. In addition, the water storage capacity is significantly increased. Plants can access the stored water in the nonwoven very easily and effectively when needed. Trees & bushes Lawns & lawn grids Slopes Green roofs Athletic fields Beds, raised planting beds...

BLUELITE-NET The active underground irrigation The BLUELITE-NET system is a completely novel and technically improved solution for water-saving subsurface irrigation for e.g. trees or sports fields. The combination consists of a nonwoven covered drip irrigation tube A that is placed directly on a water distribution net B . Substrate is applied over B it at root depth. The water from the flexible irrigation tube is evenly released via the nonwoven covering C into the LITE-NET below, where it is distributed over a large area in the root zone. In the process the water and earth contact area is...

The nonwoven covering for the protection of drip irrigation tubes The efficient subsurface irrigation for trees Par t of the BLUELITE-NE T system for trees The BLUELITE-COVER serves as a protection for the irrigation tube. In addition the robust nonwoven covering distributes the water linearly along the tube thereby increasing the water and soil contact area a thousandfold and protecting the tube openings against root intrusion and also against clogging by soil fine parts. A wide variety of irrigation tubes can be inserted into this nonwoven covering. For new tree plantings the...

LITE-ROOTPROTECT The biodegradable root protection Most of the damage on trees occurs at building sites. Although the protection of trees is prescribed by numerous laws and standards, roots are still frequently torn off and damaged by construction vehicles, resulting in enormous consequential damage. As the 4 mm thick LITE-ROOTPROTECT is 100% biodegradable, it does not have to be removed after completion of construction and can be covered with soil. By using the new root bandage LITE-ROOTPROTECT the exposed tree roots can not only be protected from sun and damage but also be kept...

Aerification, Irrigation, root and salt protection LITE-NET Air & Water for healthy trees 1 1 Serving as a vegetation net 1 , the LITE-NET is wrapped around the root ball. It absorbs water into its voluminous structure on the surface and conducts it efficiently and extensively to the roots like veins. When the roots need the stored water, air is sucked in from the surface. Thus, they simply & inexpensively replace the previously used tube systems without buckling, clogging and without chimney effect. Vegetation nets are also the ideal underground system supplements to watering bags and...

Aerification, Irrigation, root and salt protection LITE-STRIPS Substrate improvement with water reservoirs close to the roots It is recommended to mix approx. 10-20 l LITE-STRIPS into the substrate close to the roots per each replanting measure. LITE-STRIPS consist of up to 90% pores in which water is stored on site. They increase the water storage capacity and the permeability of the substrate. Size LITE-STRIPS Order sizes BLUELITE-NET Maintenance-free watering system PP The novel BLUELITE-NET system is perfectly suited for automatic and costsaving watering of trees. For this purpose, a...

ATHLETIC FIELDS AND LAWNS Water storage hybrid turf, subsurface irrigation For athletic fields and lawns, LITE-STRIPS can be used as substrate enhancement and water storage near the root, the large-area LITE-NET for storage and distribution, and the water-saving underground irrigation system BLUELITE-NET. LITE-NET: The large-area nets for air and water distribution made of tensionresistant storage nonwovens (up to 90% pore content) are optimally installed in new construction or retrofitted in smaller areas such as gate rooms at root depth. Due to the open shape of the mesh, the load is...

ATHLETIC FIELDS AND LAWNS LITE-STRIPS LITE-STRIPS: Reduce water consumption and rapidly transfer air and water from the surface to the roots. This creates a type of permanent aerification with reduced soil compaction and surface felting. LITE-STRIPS do not only improve the stability of the base layer due to their thread structure. They can also rapidly absorb water in their pore structure, thus reducing harmful excess of pore water pressure under load. In addition, the base course becomes more permeable and the water storage capacity increases significantly. LITE-STRIPS can be mixed into...
