What do you think about using recycled rubber mulch mats around trees. They let water through, but not weeds and growth instead of using the bark. My problem is the person that sits on our mower has mowed over my bushes, and small items and has sent bark flying towards the house. As our yard is not "THAT" big, and we are having a tree person plant this large Linden, I really don't want any problems with anything hurting it. Weedwacking, mowing etc. I saw these mats that you can mow over parts of it with no flying debris. As we are removing all the grass around the tree to the drip line, I thought these mats just might work.
Second-does anyone have any thoughts of using treegaiters on the newly planted trees? We have been experiencing quite a drought in the northeast(I am on Long Island in NY) and currently we have brown grass. I know we forget to water on a regular basis and after spending so much on this tree, and others that are coming in, I dont want to lose them to underwatering. Please help, as the tree is being planted today-at least the Linden is. Thanks
