Weed control fabric is a type of material used in gardening and landscaping to prevent the growth of unwanted plants. Made from woven or non-woven polypropylene, it allows water and nutrients to pass through while blocking sunlight, which is essential for weed germination. This fabric is often laid down on soil before planting flowers, vegetables, or shrubs. Using weed control fabric can help reduce the need for chemical herbicides, making it an environmentally friendly option. It is typically available in rolls and can be cut to fit various garden shapes. Proper installation ensures maximum effectiveness in keeping weeds at bay.
