Control Garden Weeds with Landscape Fabric
Landscape Fabric is a great way to Control
Weeds in your Garden

Are you tired of
weeding your garden on a weekly basis? Or if you are one of those who don’t
regularly weed your garden, are you disappointed with the look and production of
your garden? Well if you are, read on …..
When planting a
garden consider using landscape fabric for vegetables that you plant
individually. It is ideal for planting tomatoes, peppers, summer squash,
broccoli, cauliflower and other individual plants. Landscape fabric is ideal for
controlling weeds, it’s inexpensive, and it helps keep moisture in the soil.
|
It also helps to keep the ground warmer around the plant enabling faster
and shorter growing times.
You can find landscaping fabric, (a.k.a. as geotextiles) at any home improvement
or garden store. Landscape fabric typically comes in rolls approximately 3’x50’
or 3’x100’.

To install the
landscaping fabric in the garden, roll it out the length of the row or the
length of plants you want to plant. Next, cover the ends and sides of the
landscape fabric with soil.
Using a knife cut
an X into the fabric where you want to plant the vegetable plant. Using a garden
trowel simply dig a hole, and plant the vegetable plant. Water the plant well
after back filling around it.
Note: It’s best to
fertilize the soil a week or so before you install the landscaping fabric. |
