Instructions:
Each package contains one TreeDiaper
TM
treemat. Use one around each newly planted,
young trees or shrubs and cover with 2” mulch. For best result, follow these procedures to
install TreeDiaper
TM
treeamts to make sure your trees receive water from the TreeDiaper
TM
treemats during drought and in between watering.
Procedure A: If you want to place the TreeDiaper
TM
treemats around trees 2 months before the
usual watering/drought season of your region,
1. place the dry treemat on top of soil around the trees; make sure the dry pellets are evenly
distributed and not accumulated at one end;
2. cover with 2” of mulch to disguise the mat and also prevent being blown away by wind;
3. use landscaping staples on one corner of the treemat in high wind region.
Procedure B: If you want to place the TreeDiapers around trees during the drought season or less
than 2 months before the usual watering/drought season of your region,
1. soak the treemat in a 5-gallon bucket filled with water for 3-5 hours or till it absorbs at least half
of the water in the bucket; Instead of soaking in a bucket, one can also use a soaker hose to
water the treemat for overnight after installation;
2. place the partially soaked treemat on top of soil around the trees;
3. cover with 2” of mulch to disguise the mat and also prevent being blown away by wind;
4. use landscaping staples on one corner of the treemat in high wind region.
Procedure C: If you want to use TreeDiaper
TM
treemats in combination with drip irrigation system,
use procedure A and let drip irrigation water the top of the treemat.
After installation, water your trees when wilting or yellow leaves are observed or once every
four weeks if you observed less than 1” of rain during that period.
Notice: Don’t place any soil, dirt, fine sand, compost, or iron-based tree grates on top of treemat,
which may result in the loss of functionalities of the product. Direct contact of fertilizers with the
TreeDiaper in use or in storage may temporarily or permanently affect the performance of the
product. The surface integrity of the Product can be cut by sharp objects (lawnmower, or
