Ever heard of a coffee sack weed matt?

Here’s a resourceful bit of thinking. Dan, a community park ranger from Auckland Council, loves using our old hessian coffee sacks for weed matting in different parks across the city. Here’s a few pictures of his team using them at Birkenhead War Memorial Park, Bryan Byrnes Reserve in Milford and the Mountain Bike Club in Papatoetoe. The hessian sacks are great at protecting saplings in hot weather and will simply biodegrade after their purpose is served. Nice work, Dan and team.
