Abstract: A partition mat includes a flexible fluid impermeable first web mounting a fabric mesh web thereover in a coextensive relationship, with a compacted peat moss third web mounted over the second web and below a fabric fourth web, with the peat moss including a matrix of seed members mounted therewithin, whereupon application of water to the construction effects growth through the fourth web, with the second and fourth webs accommodating expansion of the peat moss web. The apparatus in modified form may be formed in a roll, including a mounting flange for securement to a support flange to permit mounting of the organization to sloped underlying surfaces.
