...This was the first year we have used the Weed Prevention Cocodisc on newly planted apple and peach orchards. We...were pleasantly surprised at how well it kept weeds suppressed around each tree....
...We are very pleased with the first year results....
...These discs are not blowing out of containers like the previous discs were....
...We recently had a storm with 50 - 70 mph wind gusts and while several shade house panels were ripped apart, all COCODISCs stayed in place!...
...The distribution of water is superior....
...Our hand weeding is reduced by over 90%....
...Not only have we been able to reduce the amount of water needed to maintain and grow crops using the coco discs, we have also saved labor and time in our fertilizing applications methods as well as weed control....
...The coco disc allows us to apply them and forget it until sales. Great product....
...we have peace of mind as we do not need to worry about weeds any longer....
...these discs help keep our weeding costs down....
...their value might be even greater in helping hold moisture in our potted plants...
...We have now used them for several years in our container production and are very happy with the results....
...They also slow the evaporation of moisture by approximately 35%....We also sell the 50-60cm size to people wanting an affordable, biodegradable weed barrier when planting individual trees or tree lines....
...I like the fact that the discs allow air and irrigation water to easily penetrate the discs while suppressing weed germination....plants displayed with the coco discs have more of an "added on value" because of the discs neat appearance....
...I have calculated that the coco discs have not only paid for themselves, but have also reduced our operation cost above and beyond the price of the coco discs, thus saving us money, labor and time....
...They limit the weeds especially well at the early stages of potted plant establishment allowing our product to get a good jump ahead without competition....
...Compared to any other type of mulch, etc. they are much cleaner and stay in place exponentially better....
