Troubleshooting

Weeds are still growing through the cover.

Ensure existing weeds were completely removed before application and that the cover is spread evenly without gaps. If persistent perennial weeds are established, they may require manual removal.

Product coverage seems insufficient.

Spread the product evenly to the recommended depth. If coverage is still lacking, consider applying a second, thinner layer, ensuring not to smother small plants.

Appearance is not as expected.

Break up any large clumps during application for a more uniform look. The product's appearance can vary slightly with moisture levels.
