EmGuard™ are the original environmentally friendly, bio-degradable, cardboard plant guards developed by our parters, FuturEcology, as a solution to plastic debris entering waterways.
Plant guards have been shown to greatly improve the chances of survival and promote growth in plants.
EmGuard™ Plant Protectors reduce ongoing plant maintenance time and costs, protect plants from predators such as hares and pukeko, help in identifying where plants are in a planted area, reduce water loss and provide a microclimate favourable to growth. They are particularly valuable in the first year of establishment especially where root trainer or small grade plants are used.
A key value of the EmGuard™ is that, like Wool.Life mulch and weed matting, it does not need to be removed once plant establishment has occurred as will naturally break down and biodegrade over time.
Requiring only one stake gives EmGuard™ huge advantage in terms of efficiency, even allowing the EmGuard™ to be used on difficult terrain. The folding method ensures the guard grips the stake, so they don’t blow off in the wind.

Wool.Life mulch and weed matting used together with the EmGuard™ provide establishing plants with the best in soil heat and moisture retention, weed suppression, environmental protection and, ultimately, further nutrients as both products biodegrade.
Wool.Life and EmGuard™ will give your plants the very best start in growth.
