Troubleshooting
Weeds growing through the membrane
Ensure the membrane is fully covering the soil and that there are no gaps or tears. Check that seams are adequately overlapped (at least 10 cm). The membrane may need to be replaced if significantly damaged.
Water pooling on the surface
Confirm the membrane is laid flat and that the ground beneath is not compacted. Ensure the membrane is not completely covered by a thick, impermeable layer of material.
Membrane shifting or lifting
Secure the edges more thoroughly with additional pegs, heavier mulch, or stones. Ensure it is well-anchored, especially in windy areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unroll the membrane and allow it to lie flat for a short period to ease any creases from folding.
- Prepare the area by removing any large stones or debris.
- Cut the membrane to the desired size using sharp scissors or a utility knife.
- Lay the membrane over the prepared soil, ensuring full coverage.
- Secure the edges using ground pegs, landscape staples, or by covering with mulch, gravel, or stones. For best results, overlap seams by at least 10 cm.
Compatibility:

Care:
No specific care is required for the membrane itself. Periodically check that it remains covered and secured. Avoid using sharp objects directly on the membrane that could cause unnecessary damage.
