Crabgrass, goat-heads, pigweed, sandburs, what you gonna do? We had 30-yr-old black plastic sheeting under gravel, laid when the house was built. Over time it disintegrated & actually caused greenhouse effect, allowing weeds to retain moisture and become big, fat & juicy. We spent hundreds of $ on systemics, weed preventers & other chemicals to no avail. They don't call it crabgrass for nothing. Finally re-landscaped, pulled up the plastic and designated a test area over the densest weeds: put down 7 different brands of weed-control fabric and attached securely with anchor pins. Made small x-cuts in the fabric as if for plants. Left it alone for 2 months. This product won hands-down! Absolutely no weeds- not a single one- got through, yet rainwater passes through easily. Six months later, still holding up! Forget the chemicals, the expensive wool-type felt or fabric barriers, and especially the cheesy stuff they sell at Lowe's & Home Depot. This is by far your best bet.

I had a very good experience with this product. I needed to cover a large area. The fabric has stayed in place and prevented erosion and weed growth. I have been very pleased. For the price, I thought it was a very good product.

Seems to work fine. it was easy to lay out, it cover a considerable amount of my yard, and all I needed was yard staples and mulch. Looks great!

i had in mind to cover a smallish garden plot, my 'bean patch' with this to keep from having to weed that particular area this fall, my plot is about 25X8' . So i bought a big pack of staples and laid it out over my shaped furrows for the beans limas and peas, no problem looks great, cut some small holes to plant through. Waters fine and really cuts down on the erosion. I left it on the surface going against the recommendation to cover it with mulch or alittle soil because its not UV rated, but i figured i would be happy if it lasts through a season and theres plenty on the role to redo the plot several times. It does cut down on weed growth but tough weeds will grow underneath it and start and grow on top of it if theres any soil at all for them to start so it definitely is not 100% effective ... i would say more like 75% effective depending on your application im sure .. in other words its not all that and a bag of potato chips, but it is cutting down on me having to weed daily and erosion so i kinda like it .. so if your thinking ' i have alot of weeds here so im gonna lay this stuff down and end all my problems' i think your likely to be disappointed .. for what im doing, seasonal gardening in a smallish plot and using it on top as disposable, i think its going to be a benefit ...

I put this stuff down to get rid of weeds. I didn't have mulch to cover it, and the weeds grew even better under the fabric. Then some deer came and ate right through it to eat the huge, tender weeds thriving underneath it. Spend more to get a high quality fabric. You will be much happier.
