Description :
Herbi'Chanvre is a mulch fabric made of 100% hydroentangled hemp. This bio-based nonwoven geotextile is innovative thanks to the unique process patented by Geochanvre. It is only with pressurized water that Geochanvre binds the fibers of hemp.
Consequence, it is the first natural mulch whose laying is mechanisable with a reel which allows a quick application on large surfaces.

His action:
- Ecological solution against weeds, avoids weeding
- Thermal protection of plantations
- Reduces watering needs, saves water
- Promotes soil life improving plantation growth

His advantages :
- 100% biodegradable, 100% hemp (guaranteed without glue, without binder, without adjuvant)
- Compatible with organic farming
- Low thickness (only 2 to 4mm) with a high hiding power
- Mechanized installation
- Very resistant to traction

Application areas :
- Market gardening
- Green spaces
- Fruit productions
- Fight against invasive plants: Japanese knotweed, Ambrosia, Pampas grass, ...

Proposed in several thicknesses:
400g / m² (service life between 3 and 9 months)
500g / m² (service life between 9 and 15 months)
750g / m² (service life between 12 and 24 months)

Environmental gain
Circular economy:
- Valuation of hemp fiber
Hemp is a hardy crop grown without pesticides. It allows the grower to clean their soil naturally and thus reduce their use of phytosanitary products. Thanks to its pivot root, it restructures soils favoring the presence of earthworms. Finally, this culture is encouraged by the water agency on drinking water catchment areas.
- Use of a zero waste industrial process
Géochanvre has developed a unique hydroentangled process. Only water is used. This one is very little soiled and is treated by lagooning. All dust and hemp waste can be reused
- Geochanvre buys Hemp within 200km around the plant based in Burgundy Franche Comté where the culture is widespread
- The mulch fabric obtained is 100% biodegradable 100% bio-based
