What is a cheap alternative to weed mat garden?

by AGU

Here are some affordable alternatives to using a weed mat in the garden:

  • Cardboard or newspaper – Lay overlapping layers of cardboard, newspaper or brown paper bags under mulch. They will break down over time.
  • Landscape fabric scraps – Reuse pieces of an old weed mat or fabric scraps to cover problem weed areas temporarily.

 

  • Mulch – Organic mulches like wood chips, straw or shredded leaves suppress weeds through smothering when applied 2-4 inches deep.
  • Grow groundcovers – Fast-spreading plants like clover or vines grown as living mulch out compete weeds naturally.
  • Sheet composting – Lay layers of yard waste, weeds and soil amendments directly on the soil surface to kill existing weeds.
  • Vinegar or boiling water – Applying undiluted vinegar or very hot water to existing weed growth causes thermal shock and kills roots.
  • Tarps – Cover bare soil with a tarp for 4-6 weeks to cook weed seeds before planting through holes.

 

  • Dense plantings – Crowding garden beds with desired plants leaves little space for weeds to establish.

 

  • Regular cultivation – Hoe or hand pull weeds before they go to seed through the growing season.

 

Choosing an organic, reusable or DIY option works well as a temporary or low-cost alternative to commercial landscape fabrics.
