Ground Cover Weed Barrier

weed barrier    ground cover     weed mat barrier

Areas of application:

Cultivation of ornamental plants (flowerbeds, designing front gardens)

For creating herbaceous borders or rock gardens

For planting hedges

For planting on mounds and slope reinforcement

Beneath rock, paved or gravel paths

For vegetable gardens

In greenhouses or hotbeds

Beneath sandpits or other sand surfaces

Advantages:

Efficiently inhibits the growth of weeds

Ideal substitute for chemical herbicides

Improved retention of moisture in the ground; also during longer dry periods

If the fleece is used as the top layer (e.g. for growing tomatoes, cucumbers, etc.), improved heating of the ground due to sunlight absorption

The fleece is tear resistant, breathable and weatherproof

The material is not harmful to plants and neutral for the ground and water

Material:

100% polypropylene

Quality:

The cheap weed control sheeting, which can often be found on the market, is made of simple, extremely thin black plastic foil with many small holes. However, these foils are neither permeable to water nor breathable. They tear quickly upon contact with smaller stones, roots or when being pulled. There is a risk of fungi or mould forming underneath these plastic foils because they are not permeable to air over the entire surface.

We on the other hand, provide a special, high quality fleece fabric, which is breathable and permeable to water over the entire surface. It was specifically developed for the use in gardens, is extremely tear resistant and has innumerable fine pores, which can only be seen when magnified

The water permeability of the weed control fleece can be seen well in the magnified image, in which the fleece was formed into a small pouch and then, filled with water

1. Prepared bed

2. The weed control fleece can be easily cut to the respective size using scissors

3. The plants are positioned on the fleece according to requirements

4. Cut an “X” into the spot, where the plant is to be planted – a carpet cutter or scissors can be helpful for this purpose

5. Dig out a planting hole in the cut out spot and put the plant into it

6. After inserting the plant, wrap the four cut out corners closely around the stem of the plant, to prevent weeds from sprouting directly by the plant

7. Then, cover the weed control fleece with a layer of approx. 5-10 cm of mulch material (e.g. bark mulch) to protect it against direct sunlight
