Nonwoven Weed Control Fabric

 Weed control fabric is a highly specified Spunbond polypropylene material designed to have the maximum effect on preventing weed growth, It also helps to retain moisture in the soil and stops the various mulches, including decorative aggregates, from being lost into the ground. 

1. Prepare the soil and roll out the fabric on the raked bed. Place the plants on to the fabric and cut a cross making sure it is no larger than the diameter of the top of the plant pot.
2.  Fold the four corners underneath and dig a planting hole, use a bucket to put the soil into as you work. This stops you leaving soil on the fabric, which could result in weeds germinating on the surface.
3. After planting ease the corners of the fabric around the plant. Firm the area down, water thoroughly and cover with about 50mm layer of bark, cocoa shells, decorative stone chippings, gravel or straw.
