Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Prepare the Ground: Clear the area of existing weeds, rocks, and debris.
- Lay the Fabric: Unroll the fabric and position it over the prepared area, ensuring sufficient overlap (at least 10-15cm) if using multiple pieces.
- Secure the Fabric: Use landscape fabric pegs or staples to firmly anchor the membrane to the ground, especially around edges and seams.
- Cut Openings: Carefully cut 'X' shapes or circles for any desired plants to grow through, ensuring cuts are clean and minimal.
- Cover the Fabric: Apply a layer of mulch, gravel, soil, or other chosen ground cover over the fabric to protect it from UV light and enhance aesthetics.
Compatibility:
This weed control fabric is compatible with a wide range of landscaping materials including gravel, mulch, bark chippings, soil, sand, paving slabs, and decking. It can be used in conjunction with most plant species, allowing water and air to reach their roots.
Care:
- Cleaning: Generally requires no specific cleaning. Keep the surface clear of debris that could hold moisture.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect for any signs of wear or damage, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Maintenance: Ensure the covering material remains sufficiently thick to protect the fabric from prolonged UV exposure.
