Water distribution over a large area ? Highly cost effective ? Quick and easy installation ? No buckling or blocking Vegetation Net LITE-NET nonwoven nets are used for aeration and irrigation of trees, especially when young trees are planted. They are simply laid out in the plant hole prior to the installation of the root bale, in a way that they are connected with the surface. From there, air and water is sucked in and distributed around the root bale. The extremely flexible nets consist of a long-term resistant nonwoven geotextile with approx. 90% voids content. Therefore they can discharge air and water easily, and additionally act as water storage medium. LITE-NET Tree Root Net also provides permanent aeration and irrigation of trees. They are placed over e larger area in the plant hole also in a way to they get contect with the surface. The void volume of each vertical side of the nonwoven net corresponds to the cross-section of a DN 100 pipe. Due to the elasticity of the nets the surrounding soil is not compacted completely. In addition passing vehicles „pump” air into the soil.
