Flexterra® HP-FGM™

1 of 1 products in this brand
Flexterra® HP-FGM™ is a biodegradable, High Performance-Flexible Growth Medium (HP-FGM) composed of 100% recycled, Thermally Refined™ virgin wood fibers, crimped biodegradable interlocking fibers derived from regenerated cellulose sourced from sustainably harvested wood, micro-pore granules, naturally derived cross-linked biopolymers and water absorbents. The HP-FGM is patented, made in the US, plastic-free, and phytosanitized to eliminate potential weed seeds and pathogens. Flexterra requires no curing period and upon application forms an intimate bond with the soil surface to create a continuous, porous, absorbent and flexible erosion resistant blanket that allows for rapid germination and accelerated plant growth.
