Water storage close to the roots

The 7 cm long LITE-STRIPS make dense soil more permeable and serve mainly as water storage and substrate improvement. For this purpose, the thick fleece strips are mixed into the soil to root depth (depending on the application, between 2 and 10 % volume for planters or 0.5 - 1.0 l/m² for lawns). Up to 90 % of the fleece volume can be filled with water, thus helping plants to survive longer dry periods.

Depending on the variant – biodegradable or non-biodegradable – LITE-STRIPS can be used in a wide variety of applications, especially for plant troughs, rolled turf, green roofs, sports fields, lawns, raised planting beds and aerification.

LITE-CUBES are available in a special small cube shape for spray greening, green roofs, growing pots and aerification.

Optimum results, scientifically confirmed: Together with the University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU), we have carried out several test trials which confirm the advantages: LITE-STRIPS mixed into the soil have a water storage capacity per kg that is 8 times higher than clay pellets (LECA).

In the case of green roofs, one important property of our products comes to the fore: the light weight of our products. As our geotextiles consist of 90 % open, interconnected air voids, our products can absorb about 8 times more water per kg than conventional products (e.g. LECA).

For lawns, sports fields and rolled turf, LITE-STRIPS are applied as a growth aid.

Simply mixed into the soil, LITE-STRIPS act as a water reservoir and to loosen the soil.

For plant troughs, flower troughs and raised planting beds, LITE-STRIPS are simply mixed into the soil at root depth.

For trees, approx. 10-20 l are mixed into the tree pit as a water reservoir.

For aerification, LITE-CUBES are swept into the aeration holes together with sand or LITE-STRIPS are inserted into slots. This new type of aerification offers long-term benefits

CLIMATE CHANGE?

WE HAVE SOMETHING FOR THAT:

Save water with LITE-SOIL for sustainable plant growth!

Rethinking geotextiles – that is the aim of LITE-SOIL. Flexible, versatile, perfectly adapted and both cost and water efficient, our LITE-STRIPS, LITE-NET and BLUELITE-NET are the sustainable solution for modern, efficient and intelligent greening and irrigation.

Our core business is the production & development of innovative irrigation systems for professional gardening and landscaping, for construction greenery and in the agricultural sector. Our aim is to develop new, sustainable and cost-effective innovations. We bring air and water exactly where the plants need it: To the roots.

With our company LITE-SOIL we distribute geotextiles in completely new and unique strip or net shapes, ideally suited to the needs of your plants.

The distribution is carried out by worldwide partners, so that we can concentrate on continuous technical development.

LITE-SOIL produces the near-root water storage and distribution systems based on geotextiles in strips or net form. LITE-SOIL products have a balancing effect on the water balance and cannot be poured over. They give plants additional air, strengthen the soil, make it more permeable and increase the water storage capacity. They increase the greening effect but reduce water consumption, surface felt, erosion and maintenance.

Our products for sustainable greening:

LITE-NET (the water distribution net)
LITE-NET vegetation net + LITE-NET distribution net (especially for trees)
LITE-STRIPS (the near-root water reservoirs)
LITE-CUBES (for spray greening, green roofs, growing pots and aerification)
BLUELITE-NET (subsurface irrigation)
BLUELITE-RING (irrigation for trees)

Brand new:

BLUELITE-AGRI (subsurface irrigation)
LITE-ROOTPROTECT (root protection on building sites)
SALFIX-MAT (Filter mat against road salt)

LITE-SOIL products are based on water storage mats that have been tried and tested over many years. These environmentally friendly and high-strength geotextiles/fleeces are made of sustainable polypropylene or biodegradable/compostable raw materials such as wood fiber (approx. 1 year) and PLA (approx. 5-10 years). As these nonwovens consist of up to 90% open, interconnected voids, they are very good at capillary transfer of air and water and also serve as effective water storage.

Due to the new design as net (LITE-NET) or as stripes (LITE-STRIPS) many new application possibilities as well as immense advantages result.

You can obtain these cost-effective LITE-SOIL products – according to your requirements – in various sizes, colours and materials.

Universities and research institutes have confirmed the advantages of our products and we have received many awards (e.g. TÜV Award, Patent Prize etc.)
