Installation
WeedControl® is black and hinders thus sunlight in reaching the weeds.
This inhibits photosynthesis, which means the weed dies.
1
- Remove all weeds.
- Rake and remove stones and roots to obtain a smooth and level foundation.
- Unroll the WeedControl® and fix the edges with stones or pegs. This will keep the fabric in place, even in windy conditions. Ensure that the fabric is laid out with an overlap of 20 cm.
- Mark the fabric with an ”X”, where you want to place the plant(s).
- Cut the ”X” in a size matching the plant’s root.
- Dig a hole and plant the plant. Fold back the flaps against the plant.
2
- Dust soil off the fabric.
- Cover the fabric with 5 cm layer of wood chips or gravel within 5 days to assure longest lifetime. Maximum recommended gravel size is 32 mm for the sake of good coverage of the fabric.
