Colored Plastic Mulches and Geotextiles Imprinted and Embossed with Natural Images

摘要

The present invention imparts a natural mulch image and color to the surface of plastic mulches and geotextiles. Such images as natural shredded bark are imprinted and/or embossed on colored plastic mulch and geotextile surfaces. Plastic mulches are generally covered with natural mulch materials that often shift, exposing the plastic surfaces. This invention eliminates the unsightliness resulting from this phenomenon. Use of plastic mulches and geotextiles with natural mulch colors and images reduces the amount of natural mulch required to cover the plastic mulch or geotextile underlayment, resulting in reduced cost and reduced weed reinfestation.
