What are the advantages and disadvantages of PP weed control fabric compared to other weed control methods such as herbicides?
Weeds will grow anywhere there is an organic environment present that will allow germination. If the wind blows soil and seeds onto the surface of any fabric or mulch covering, there is the possibility of weed growth. Mulch itself will eventually break down and create a soil-like environment for weed seed germination. Solution: Quick application of systemic herbicide and later application of early spring or late fall pre-emergence herbicide. Follow the directions on the label.
