Video: How to Install & Use Bio360 Biodegradable Mulch

Prevent overheating seedlings:

  • When daytime temperatures are above 80°F, install the film with the light side up.
  • When daytime temperatures are below 80°F, install the film with the black side up. 
  • Once plants grow and shade the bed surface, temperatures are no longer a concern.

Biodegradable film prevents weed seeds from sprouting, increases soil temperature, and encourages rapid plant root growth. It also prevents direct contact with soil to keep flowers and vegetables clean and can prevent soil-borne diseases from spreading. The film can be turned into the soil at the end of the growing season, or left on the surface to break down. For aesthetics in a landscape, mulch can be placed on top of the film. We have successfully used this mulch film on our flower farm for over 10 years.

The compostable Bio360 mulch film is made of Mater-Bi, a vegetable starch-based raw material that is compostable. The colorant concentrate (masterbatch) pigment mixture used for coloring is also made of Mater-Bi. It leaves no toxic residues in the ground and you save on removal, recycling and land fill costs. Bio360 is also guaranteed non oxo-degradable. It leaves no chemical residues in the soil once it degrades. Mater-Bi complies with international degradation and environmental standards such as TUV Austria Soil OK biodegradable and BPI’s ASTM D6400, which guarantee complete decomposition in the soil without any toxic residues.
