Water restrictions in Christchurch
During the 4 September, 22 February and 13 June earthquakes Christchurch’s water systems were badly damaged. This has meant water restrictions are now in place over the summer months for the first time since 1998.
To help keep your plants healthy Besgrow has some products that will help to retain moisture in the soil and suppresses weed growth.
Coir Mulch - produced by cutting the whole husk of the coconut into cubes. Besgrow Coir Mulch is brightly coloured finishing off your landscaped area with intensity.
Coir Weedmat - produced from the long fibres of the coconut husk bound with biodegradable natural latex to form a dense but light mat. Besgrow Weed Mat is a natural, light brown colour that can be left exposed or covered with decorative bark or mulch.
Hydromats - 100% organic sheets of compressed Spagmoss petals for use at the root zone of trees. When placed in plant holes and hydrated, Hydromats act as a natural water reservoir for roots, giving your trees and shrubs the best start in life.
Barkdeco - produced from 100% pure un-aged New Zealand Pinus radiata bark; it is hard in structure and will not break down quickly. The natural red-brown colour creates an aesthetically pleasing and versatile covering both indoors and outdoors.
Kiwi hospitality for Tropicoir
Janindha the General Manager of Tropicoir and his good friend Manoj visited Besgrow while they were over for the Rugby World Cup. Garry took them to visit some local tomato and cucumber growers using Besgrow Coir gropacs. They were also shown around Christchurch with a visit to Akaroa and Lyttelton port.
