{"product_id":"coconet","title":"Coconet (Coco Coir Net) for Slope Protection","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoconet is a woven net of coconut husk fiber (coir) that is laid over bare slopes, embankments, road cuts and riverbanks. It shields the soil from rain, runoff and wind and holds seed and topsoil in place while vegetation establishes. As the plants take over, the net breaks down and returns organic matter to the soil.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKudzu Seeds Trading, based in Davao City, supplies coconet in 1 m by 50 m rolls by quotation for projects across the Philippines, together with the legume cover crop seed that grows through it, so one inquiry covers the net and the seed for the same slope. Contractors and engineers also call it coco net, coir net, coir mesh or biodegradable erosion control net.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-nav-label=\"Uses\"\u003eWhat coconet is used for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlope protection on embankments, cut slopes and road cuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErosion control on riverbanks and flood control embankments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil stabilization on post-construction and earthworks sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRevegetation, landscaping and site restoration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProtection of sloping farm and plantation land\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBare soil on a slope loses its surface to rain and running water before seedlings can root. Coconet covers that surface with a mesh of twisted coir yarn. The open weave lets light, water and seedlings through, while the yarn holds seed, mulch and topsoil in place. Coir is 100 percent natural and biodegradable, so nothing synthetic stays on the slope once the vegetation has taken over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 data-nav-label=\"Net and seed\"\u003eCoconet and cover crop seed: one job, two products\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe net is a temporary cover by design. It protects the slope until plant roots can hold the soil on their own, so the vegetation has to go in at the same time as the net. Sow the seed before you lay the net, or through the mesh straight after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur five legume cover crops, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/pueraria-javanica-pj\"\u003ePueraria javanica\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/calopogonium-mucunoides-cm\"\u003eCalopogonium mucunoides\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/centrosema-pubescens-cp\"\u003eCentrosema pubescens\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/calopogonium-caeruleum-cc\"\u003eCalopogonium caeruleum\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/mucuna-bracteata-mb\"\u003eMucuna bracteata\u003c\/a\u003e, differ in how fast they cover the ground, how much shade they take and how vigorous they are.
