FAQ – FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What weight of agro fabric is best?
The best weight depends on the intended use and expected durability. For mulching flower beds, vegetable gardens, and plantings, higher-weight materials are often chosen as they perform better during long-term use and in demanding conditions. Thicker variants provide greater durability, better weed protection, and a longer lifespan, making them especially recommended for shrubs, thuja, fruiting plants, as well as garden paths and walkways.
Can it be used under bark or stones?
Yes, this is one of the most common uses for this type of mat. The agro fabric can be placed under pine bark, gravel, grit, or decorative stones, where it creates a separating layer between loose material and the soil while limiting weed growth.
Where is it best used?
The mulching agro fabric has a wide range of applications. It can be used on ornamental beds, in vegetable gardens, under shrubs, thuja, trees, and fruiting plants. It also works well as a protective layer on garden paths and walkways. It is a practical solution for both home gardens and more intensive cultivation.
How to properly lay agro fabric?
Before laying the mat, prepare the ground by removing weeds and leveling the soil surface. Then spread the agro fabric in the planned area and secure it to the ground using pins. After fixing, you can make openings for plants and, if needed, cover the mat with bark, stones, or other decorative material.
How to cut holes for plants?
Openings for seedlings are best made using a knife, scissors, or another sharp tool. A cross-shaped cut is most commonly used, as it makes planting easier and allows better adjustment of the material around the stem or trunk. This ensures the mat continues to effectively limit weed growth around plantings.
