A clip for fixing an agricultural ground sheet cover material, or a netting, in place comprises two inter-engageable parts, each part having a jaw at one end for gripping sheet material or netting between the jaws when the two inter-engageable parts are closed together, a locking tab on one of the inter-engageable parts, a locking bar on the other of the inter-engageable parts, and and cord engaging formations at an opposite end of at least one of the inter-engageable clip parts, adapted to grip a cord between the cord engaging formations to lock the cord to the clip.

A novel spent coffee grounds (SPG)-infused weed barrier mat and a method of manufacturing the novel mat are disclosed. Compared to conventional methods of weed growth inhibitions using chemicals or paper mulches, the SPG-infused weed barrier mat is more durable, hydro-absorbent, and easily-divisible to protect and promote a garden's aesthetics, soil quality, and ecosystem, while acting as an effective smothering barrier against weed growth. Preferably, the SPG-infused weed barrier mat is formed by a plurality of detachable single modular mat units of standardized dimensions to accommodate dynamic and scalable sizing of the effective weed barrier mat area based on a user's particular gardening needs and requirements. Each single modular mat unit can be attached to or detached from each other to constitute a tiled arrangement of varying sizes. The SPG may be finely-milled coffee flours further processed from coarser SCGs for enhanced durability and maintenance of weed barrier mat-producing equipment.

The invention relates to a planar textile drainage element for preventing moisture to accumulate around plants, as well as to the use thereof.

The invention relates to a multilayered composite textile, comprising at least one first layer, comprising a first biodegradable polymer; and, at least one second layer, comprising a second layer fabric wherein the second layer fabric comprises second layer filaments; wherein said second layer fabric comprises a second biodegradable polymer, characterized in that, the visual degradation speed of the first layer is slower than the visual degradation speed of the second layer. The invention further relates to the use of such fabric for temporary weed control, temporary erosion control, as a hygienic article, or temporary packaging material.

The present disclosure provides novel paper sheet mulch products having benefits over prior sheet mulches, which may include brown or recycled fibers, as well as additives, such as opacity, water-resistant, and strength additives, resulting in mulch products with an improved combination of basis weight, stretch, strength, opacity, and/or water-resistance characteristics.

A vegetation partition wire mesh, for use in the vicinity of shores, coasts or roads, includes an outer wire mesh formed by upwardly bending left and right ends of a planar wire mesh, first partition wire meshes formed by upwardly bending front and rear ends of the planar wire mesh, and inner barriers. The first partition wire meshes are fixed inside the outer wire mesh while forming outer walls at front and rear ends thereof. Outer wire mesh nonwoven fabric along the inner surface of the outer wire mesh covers the outer wire mesh. A first partitioning nonwoven fabric along inner surfaces of the upwardly bent portions of the first partition wire meshes covers the upwardly bent portions of the first partition wire meshes. A mixture of soil and seeds is spread at high pressure to fill the inside of the outer wire mesh divided into a plurality of spaces.

A fiber mat includes natural wood fibers formed into an elongated strip having an upper surface and a lower surface, the upper surface having a first plurality of channels extending into the elongated strip, each of the first plurality of channels having a channel depth being different in a central portion of the mat than in an edge portion of the mat.

An irrigation device for facilitating growth of a plant includes a mat that is air and water permeable and has an opening through which a plant extends. A drip tube is disposed within the mat between upper and lower surfaces thereof. The drip tube has an open end connectable to a water source, and a series of apertures or emitters along the length thereof permitting water to exit the drip tube and through the lower surface of the mat to the ground surrounding the plant.

Disclosed is a grass protection mat for soft ground, comprising: an upper mat comprising a first body in which first grass passing spaces are continuously arranged and a first outer frame formed to finish an outer edge of the first body; and a bottom supporting mat which is arranged under the upper mat, wherein the bottom supporting mat comprises a second body in which second grass passing spaces are continuously arranged, and one or more hook fasteners which protrudes from the second body at a predetermined position corresponding to the first outer frame of the upper mat so that it is hooked to and coupled with a portion of the first outer frame.

Fabrics suitable for a wide variety of uses, including coverage of crops, crop planting sites, or both, are disclosed. The fabrics may comprise at least one spunbond layer comprising filaments including a filler. The at least one spunbond layer may comprise a basis weight of least about 12 grams-per-meter-squared and the at least one spunbond layer may comprise an average transmittance value within the photosynthetic active radiation (PAR) across wavelengths 400 nm to 700 nm comprising about 37% or less. Methods of enhancing crop growth are also disclosed.
