Weeding pots is a time consuming, expensive and back-breaking task. The TE Weed Prevention COCODISC® can prevent weed growth (including liverwort) in your containers.
The COCODISC® also work well in the field to reduce weed competition for newly planted trees.
The all-natural alternative for weed control. Ideal for nurseries and garden centers!

- all natural - no chemicals!
- natural latex as binding material
- Biodegradable!
- expensive hand weeding is eliminated
- the use of herbicides, with their possible side effects, is history
- water and fertilizer will easily penetrate the discs - a 2 year fertilizer i.e. Nutricote can also be used
- significantly less watering since evaporation is reduced
- attractive and clean looking
- thick and heavy enough to stay in place in the pot - won't blow off
- latex on both sides for durability
- also great for use in conservation plantings, field growing, etc.

To determine the best size of COCODISC® for use in containers, please measure the inner pot diameter at the soil/mix level. The COCODISC® should be placed right on top of the soil/mix.
CNLA (Canadian Nursery Landscape Association) studied the effectiveness of hand weeding, herbicide and seven different weed barriers on dwarf Alberta spruce in 1 gallon pots. The barriers were applied and were evaluated periodically for the next two seasons. They found the COCODISC® to be the most effective weed control alternative - even more effective than herbicide!
