Last updated January 16, 2026

Bonded Fibre Matrix (BFM) mulch is a type of hydroseeding erosion control product.^[1]

The matrix is a continuous layer of elongated fibre strands held together by a water-resistant bonding agent.^{[ citation needed ]} It keeps raindrops from hitting the soil because it has no holes larger than one millimetre. It allows no gaps between the product and the soil.^[2] It has a high water-holding capacity. It will not form a water-insensitive crust that can inhibit plant growth.^{[ citation needed ]} It biodegrades into materials that help plant growth.^[2]
