Weed Control® |
|
 |
Easy one-time installation:
STEP 1: Unroll Weed Control and cut material to desired length. Fit around plants or cut slits in material to fit over plants. Overlap adjacent sections 3 inches. Secure ends of fabric to the ground with Gardeneer® Garden Staples™ (optional). |
|
 |
STEP 2: Install new plants by cutting X's in Weed Control at the location of each new plant. Plant shrubs, trees and small plants through the material into the soil beneath. | |
 |
STEP 3: Cover with layer of organic mulch. Cover completely with a 2 inch layer of pine needles, wood chips or shredded bark (or a thin layer of small, smooth landscaping pebbles) to protect it from the sun. | |
|
NOTES:
|
Leave openings for daffodils, tulips and other bulbs so they can emerge from the ground in spring. | |
|
For Best Results:
|
- Weed Control can be placed directly over grass but it is preferable to clear the area first. Prepare the planting area by spraying existing weeds and recurring ones with a nonselective systemic weed-killer (such as Roundup®) which kills to the roots.
- Alternatively, remove all existing grass and weeds before installation. - For added protection, a pre-emergent herbicide soil treatment to prevent future germination of weed seeds is also recommended. |
