The vegetation carrier is provided with a seed mat made of a flexible, biodegradable material, and the seed mat contains seeds that are distributed uniformly at separate locations, where they are secured and held in place by the seed mat. The seed mat may be arranged on the surface of the vegetation carrier as well as on the bottom side of the vegetation carrier or in between.
