Abstract

At least one exemplary vegetated mat planting method can comprise: covering a non-soil vegetated mat growing platform with sheeting; applying strips of mesh netting over the sheeting; applying a growing medium over the mesh netting; applying plant material to the growing medium; lifting a netting-reinforced strip of vegetated mat from an underlying sheet covering a non-soil growing platform; and/or positioning the strip of vegetated mat on a transplantation site.

1 . A vegetated mat planting method comprising: 
 covering a non-soil vegetated mat growing platform with sheeting;    applying strips of mesh netting over the sheeting;    applying compost over the mesh netting; and    applying plant material to the compost.    
   
   
       2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 selecting the non-soil vegetated mat growing platform.    
   
   
       3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 preparing the non-soil vegetated mat growing platform.    
   
   
       4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 leveling the non-soil vegetated mat growing platform.    
   
   
       5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 securing the sheeting.    
   
   
       6 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 irrigating the compost.    
   
   
       7 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 irrigating the plant material-containing compost.    
   
   
       8 . A vegetated mat transplanting method comprising: 
 lifting a netting-reinforced strip of vegetated mat from an underlying sheet covering a non-soil growing platform; and    positioning the strip of vegetated mat on a transplantation site.    
   
   
       9 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 unsecuring the netting-reinforced strip of vegetated mat.    
   
   
       10 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 rolling up the netting-reinforced strip of vegetated mat.    
   
   
       11 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 preparing the transplantation site.    
   
   
       12 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 leveling the transplantation site.    
   
   
       13 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 applying a layer of compost at the transplantation site.    
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 applying a layer of compost over a soil at a transplantation site.    
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 rolling out the netting-reinforced strip of vegetated mat onto the transplantation site.    
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 trimming the netting-reinforced strip of vegetated mat to fit the transplantation site.    
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 8 , further comprising: 
 irrigating the positioned netting-reinforced vegetated mat.    
   
   
       18 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the netting-reinforced vegetated mat is compost-nutrified.  
   
   
       19 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the netting-reinforced vegetated mat is sheeting-grown.  
   
   
       20 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the netting-reinforced vegetated mat is substantially soil-less.  
   
   
       21 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the underlying sheet is unattached to the non-soil growing platform.  
   
   
       22 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the underlying sheet is a rooting barrier.  
   
   
       23 . The method of  claim 8 , wherein the underlying sheet is plastic.
