FAQs

How long do these biodegradable pegs last in the ground?

The pegs are designed to naturally decompose in soil within approximately 18 months.

Do I need to remove the pegs after use?

No, a key benefit is that they do not need to be removed. They will naturally break down and become part of the soil.

Are these pegs safe for the environment?

Yes, they are made from ASTM D6400 compliant biodegradable material, leaving no harmful residue.

Can these pegs be used for permanent garden structures?

No, they are intended for temporary securing and will decompose within 18 months. They are not suitable for permanent installations.

What types of ground cover are these pegs best suited for?

They are ideal for turf sod, erosion control blankets, weed control fabrics, and ground cover membranes. They can also secure artificial grass.

Are these pegs safe to use around children and pets?

Yes, they are safe as they naturally decompose and do not leave sharp or harmful remnants.

Can these pegs be used in very rocky soil?

While they can penetrate hard soil, extremely rocky conditions may make insertion difficult or impossible. In such cases, manual placement around rocks or alternative fixing methods might be necessary.

Troubleshooting

Pegs are difficult to insert into very hard soil.

Slightly moisten the soil if possible before insertion. A rubber mallet can be used for gentle tapping to aid penetration.

Secured material feels loose after peg insertion.

Ensure the peg is inserted fully into the ground. Consider using additional pegs spaced closer together for added security, especially in windy conditions or on slopes.

Pegs break during insertion.

This may indicate extremely compacted soil. Try moistening the area or pre-drilling a small pilot hole if necessary. Ensure pegs are pushed in straight, not at an angle, to avoid undue stress.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Environmentally friendly, decomposes naturally.
Reduces labor by eliminating removal.
Safe for machinery and groundskeepers.
Strong holding power in various soil types.
Suitable for a wide range of landscaping applications.

Cons

Breakdown time can vary slightly based on soil conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply push the 6-inch biodegradable pegs firmly into the soil through the material you wish to secure. The tapered design aids penetration, even in firm ground. For very hard soil, a light tap with a rubber mallet might be helpful, though generally, hand pressure is sufficient.

Compatibility: These pegs are ideal for securing turf sod, erosion control blankets, weed control fabrics, and ground cover membranes. They can also be used for artificial grass, though they are primarily intended for natural turf and soil-based applications.

Care: No specific care is required. Once installed, these pegs are designed to remain in the ground and naturally break down over approximately 18 months. Avoid unnecessary digging or disturbance around the pegs to allow for optimal biodegradation.
