Description

Mypex Woven Polypropylene Mulch, Weed Suppressing Fabric: 1m Wide

Please note that these are just the rolls of fabric without pegs, which are optional; buy rolls with the right number of pegs.

Remember that dryness & competition from weeds are the two biggest threats to a young hedge.
Weed control fabric is strongly recommended for use with hedging in places where weeding and watering will be less regular.
It is not a replacement for watering in dry weather, but as well as preventing weed growth, it acts as a mulch and so allows more time between each watering.

For most garden hedges where watering and weeding is convenient, and homemade organic mulch and RocketGro Mulch is practical to apply, weed control fabric is not essential. 

Features:

  • Preserve soil moisture
  • Keep the weeds down
  • Designed for rugged agricultural use
  • Last for many years
  • Not necessary to weed before planting

Using the fabric:

Cut down the weeds where you intend to plant; in lawns, lay the fabric over the grass along the line you intend to plant. 
No spraying, no lifting of turf is essential, but if you do scalp off the plants and grass, so much the better. Leave them under the mulch fabric.

Top tip: Applying the plastic mulch months in advance of planting day will clear the soil of more tough weeds & grass for you with less effort.

Stand on the Mypex to hold it, and tuck the Mypex edges into the soil with a sharp, straight up, straight down motion, like in our country hedge planting video, or use plastic pegs

On planting day, cut horizontal slits along the centre line of the mulch fabric, slightly wider than your planting spade, at the spacing you intend to plant your hedging, usually every 33cm. 

Can you put organic mulch over plastic mulch?

Yes, but it's not necessary. You can put lawn clippings from immediately around the mulch strip onto the mulch, only don't pile the clippings up around the plants. 

Please note that these are just the rolls of fabric without pegs, which are optional; buy rolls with the right number of pegs.

Bareroot?

Bareroot plants have no soil around the roots. They are light, easy to carry and plant.

The ground tends to be wet in winter, ideal for planting bareroot plants.
