After a couple of years, we began to have requests from market gardeners and commercial growers to supply agricultural films too. The cornstarch films we provide are not certified organic but are certified GMO free, made from corn and renewable sources that comply with all European biodegradation standards.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThey are better alternatives to using black plastic and we have converted many large farms.

This film is thin but sturdy when stretched when made taut. It's very easy to pierce with a dibber to transplant into. Can be hand applied or machine laid. It's hard to give an exact time when the film will begin to break down, as this depends on variables like moisture, weather and how lively the soil is. As a rough guide, we say it lasts no less than 4-6 months and lasts no more than 9-12 months. Although it's mainly used for vegetable, fruit and flower growing, some customers have also used only as a weed blocker, for certain landscaping projects like establishing beds etc..\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeavyweight Cornstarch \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis is the go to product for those who don't want to use plastic, need something to last for a very long time - but not forever!
