The 100GSM heavy-duty fabric is designed to block even stubborn weeds, but proper installation and coverage are key to its effectiveness.
This fabric provides chemical-free weed control. While you can use it with plants, it's best to avoid applying harsh chemicals directly onto the fabric itself.
Made from durable polypropylene fiber, it offers long-lasting protection. However, its lifespan can be extended by protecting it from direct sunlight with a layer of mulch or soil.
Check if the fabric is properly overlapped and secured. Ensure there are no tears or gaps. Add more mulch or soil on top, or re-secure with stakes.
Secure the fabric more firmly using garden staples, pegs, or by burying the edges under soil, mulch, or stones.
Ensure the fabric is laid flat and not creating a depression. Check that the soil beneath is not compacted, which could hinder drainage. Some minor surface moisture is normal.
The fabric should be covered with mulch, soil, or other materials to protect it from direct UV exposure. If significant degradation is visible, it may need replacement.
Setup: Prepare the area by removing existing weeds and debris. Lay the weed control fabric flat, ensuring complete coverage of the desired area. Cut the fabric to size using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Overlap edges by at least 10-15cm if multiple pieces are used to prevent weed growth at the seams. Secure the fabric using garden staples, pegs, or by covering the edges with soil, mulch, or decorative stones.
Compatibility: This fabric is compatible with most landscaping applications, including use under mulch, gravel, bark chips, compost, and paving stones. It is designed to be used in conjunction with plants, allowing water and air to pass through to their root systems. Avoid using it in areas where you intend to directly sow seeds into the soil layer above.
Care: The primary care involves ensuring the fabric remains covered by a layer of mulch or other top dressing to protect it from UV degradation and to maintain its aesthetic appearance. Periodically check for any areas where weeds might be attempting to grow through, and re-secure or adjust the fabric if needed. Clean off any accumulated debris from the surface.
