What are the covering methods of pp woven weed barrier fabric?
- The standard method is to lay the pp woven weed barrier fabric over the prepared ground, cut holes for the plants, overlap and secure the edges, and cover with mulch or other materials. This method is suitable for most garden beds and landscapes, as it provides effective weed control and allows water and nutrients to pass through to the soil.
- The sheet mulching method is to lay cardboard or newspaper over the ground, wet it, and cover it with pp woven weed barrier fabric. This method is ideal for areas with heavy weed infestation, as it provides an extra layer of protection and smothering. The cardboard or newspaper will decompose over time and add organic matter to the soil.
- The inverted method is to lay the pp woven weed barrier fabric over the weeds, cut holes for the plants, and cover with inorganic mulch like gravel or stones. This method is suitable for areas where you don’t want any plants to grow, such as pathways or rock gardens. The inorganic mulch will prevent the weeds from getting any sunlight and water, and eventually kill them.
