Virtues of Weed Control Fabric

One outstanding virtue of Weed Control Fabric is that you do not even need to weed the area before laying down the weed cloth. Lacking oxygen and water, those weeds will be deader than a doornail in a couple of weeks, without you lifting a hand or resorting to chemicals.

Weed control fabric comes in rolls of a few standard widths and lengths, such as a 3-foot wide by 50 foot long roll. The fabric is virtually impermeable and is available in green and black. All you need to do is roll it out, covering large areas of bare ground as you cut to size. Leave an opening around your plants sufficient to water. For example, rose bushes need a watering area roughly the diameter of the branches. With a stand of pampas grass, just cut the weed control fabric right up to the edge of the planting.
