1. VisPore® Tree Mats are effective with BOTH hardwood and evergreen seedlings.
|

2. The SHINY, SMOOTH SIDE FACES UP. The rough, dull side faces down.

3. Clear away woody brush around the seedling. The better contact the VisPore® Tree Mat makes with the ground, the better the performance.
|
|
4. Carefully guide the opening in the VisPore® Tree Mat down over the seedling. Make sure the shiny, smooth side of the VisPore® Tree Mat is facing UP.

|
5. Position the mat so that the seedling is about 1 inch from either end of the opening.
|
|
6. Use a sod staple to close off the rest of the opening. Position one leg of the staple on each side of the mat.
|
|
|
7. Spread the VisPore® Tree Mat flat, but not taut. Fold each corner over, and insert a staple through two layers of material (for added strength).
