I use this stuff both inside and outside of my greenhouses. Would not know what I would do without it. It allows water through it but keeps the weeds at bay!

That stuff looks interesting but doesn't it get too hot for the plants. Anyway thanks a lot Mike for everything. You're doing great work. Good luck.
Great video and Great advice.
Go to a mattress store and get free big sheets of cardboard.
I love this stuff! In the PNW it helps to warm the soil so i can grow things (like melons), that I would have trouble with otherwise. I burn the holes for planting – I find the material frays with cutting. Also, i have reused it for 3 seasons now. If you’re around Portland, OBC sells it at a pretty good price, but you have to buy 300’ rolls…
For my garden this year I use https://www.lowes.com/pd/Sta-Green-Ultimate-Landscape-Fabric-Common-3-ft-x-50-ft-Actual-3-02-ft-x-50-17-ft/50119485 and burned holes in it as needed for corn, tomatoes, peppers, etc. It really works and keeps the weeds out and lets water and fertilizer through.
Don't buy from Lenard, He is the most expensive one out there!!! Check out https://www.mortonproducts.com/page.cfm/1306
I do landscaping and irrigation; you need to go to a specialty irrigation store to get better material. The box stores version is crap.
Surprised that black plastic doesn’t get too hot for the plants crawling on it
I use old carpet picked from the trash
Is that stuff reusable
Yay 1st
