FAQ
All sales are final, as results depend on soil, climate, and other growing conditions. However, we guarantee that our product will arrive in high-quality condition, ready for installation in your designated field. If you have any concerns, please contact us.
No, Carbon Nurture mulch film does not contain oxo-fragmentable additives. Our product nurtures the soil rather than polluting it. Our technology is based on redox reactions, ensuring complete biodegradation. [Read more here.]
Field trials in the Knoxville region showed no significant difference in pie pumpkin yields when comparing PE mulch and BDM treatments (Ghimire et al., 2018).
Yes, we recommend tilling any remaining product at the beginning of the following season. Exposure to UV and environmental elements will accelerate the biodegradation process.
Our films typically begin biodegrading within 4-6 months, depending on the variety purchased and your climate zone.
Many biodegradable mulch films lack the durability needed to last an entire season and are prone to tearing during installation due to their limited flexibility. Carbon Nurture mulch is designed to provide season-long performance with superior strength and stretchability.
Yes! Unlike similar BDM products, ours is shelf-stable. Store it in a dry area away from sunlight, preferably in its original packaging. If stored properly, it will perform just as well in future seasons.
No. Once fully biodegraded, our product leaves no microplastics. It breaks down into a consumable wax that is absorbed by microorganisms, converting into organic carbon and trace minerals that enhance soil health.
No, our mulch film is specially designed to avoid clinging to crops such as pumpkins, melons, and squash. This prevents yield loss, unlike other films that may adhere to plants.
Since our film is impermeable for effective weed suppression, we recommend installing a drip irrigation system underneath it during mulch layer installation.
No. Our product has passed toxicity tests for soil, water, and earthworms, showing no negative effects. Instead, it increases organic carbon, enhances microbial activity, and deposits beneficial trace minerals to help plants thrive.
No, our product has been rigorously field-tested and is highly durable compared to other biodegradable mulch options. We believe it is the best alternative to conventional plastic mulches available today.
